College Basketball: March Madness Thread

So uh, Virginia just got manhandled. First 16 seed to beat a 1 seed in tournament history.

That kid from University of Maryland Baltimore County couldn’t miss. They were taking him out for one minute breaks because of cramping too.



But this is the one weird thing about basketball that can make it really interesting. Some days a team’s shots just won’t fall when the other’s will. I’ve been on the wrong side of that fact with the better team numerous times. 19/20 times UVA probably beats that team, but not yesterday. It’s madness.

Aggies made it to the second round though.



Texas didn’t.



First time in history Auburn and Bama make it to the second round in the same tournament too.

Not only did A&M give UNC their worst loss this season, but their worst loss in NCAA tournament history.

Michigan could not miss a shot (partly in part to A&M's awful defense). A&M could not stop turning the ball over... fucking awful. It's like deja vu. I swear I am in here every football or basketball season complaining of A&M turning the fucking ball over every game. In this case it could easily have been the difference of winning or losing. A&M must have had 50 turnovers, 49 max.

That was embarassing. Congrats to Michigan. Fire Bill Kennedy. Basketball sucks anyways.

It's been an exciting tournament with unbelievable upsets! Michigan is playing very good ball right now. Texas A&M is good, but they just outplayed. Syracuse made a great run, but Duke outlasted them to win by 4. I'm glad Kansas State eliminated Kentucky, Kentucky was overrated this year, they weren't that good. I am an alum of University of South Carolina, we did not make the tourney, but our women's team plays today in the Sweet 16!

Fantastic game! I was troubled with who I wanted to win, I hate Duke. But, I love the ACC and it was the only team left from the ACC. So, I'm good with Kansas winning. Should be a great Final 4!

It was such an awesome game, I can't disagree, but Villanova is still left in the tourney, they would not like that!

It was frustrating to see the Michigan offense struggle after going lights out against TAMU. Of course I’m sure UNC felt the same way.

I’m not saying Michigan doesn’t deserve it; they clearly do. It’s just the up-down nature of this sport can be brutal.

Gonzaga v Baylor should be fun.
