NCAA Tourney Thread!

[ultimatebob]

Do we already have an NCAA Tournament thread for 2022? If not, I guess that this is it.

Let's go Hokies! We'll see if 11 is as lucky a number as 7.

I think that I'll pick Gonzaga. They always seem to find a way to make it to the elite 8.

ESPN's analyst agrees with me. This might be paywalled, but I'll give a spoiler: He has the Zags beating Arizona in the finals:

Jay Bilas picks every single game in the 2022 NCAA men's basketball tournament

The Bilastrator is back with his unmistakable, incomparable look at the complete bracket. As always, you're welcome.

Another year, another John Calipari flop.

Another year, another John Calipari flop.

Crap. I had UK going all the way to the final 4.

I fucking hate Carolina. Bastards.

What I hate is the NCAA officiating .... this NC tourney "win" reminded me why I stopped watching NCAA basketball years ago.

Far as I'm concerned this game alone tainted the entire tournament.

Given the talent Calipari recruits, he has always underwhelmed. Except the one time he had Anthony Davis.

I said last year that 2021 was Gonzaga's best shot at a national title, given they were undefeated and had a great roster including now NBA rookie Jalen Suggs. They flamed out early this year, with the help of some poor officiating that consistently favored Arkansas. Freshman Chet Holmgren is a very skilled unicorn, but I think he's got a terrible body for the NBA.

Unlike a year ago, West coast hoopers have sucked so I'll have to root for UCLA tomorrow.

Some really bad calls going Purdue's way. Terrible

 

[ultimatebob]

Wow... both Gonzaga and Arizona are out? Wow... guess that the season is over for me

Can the Tar Heels beat Cinderella (St. Pete's)?

Stay tuned

Can the Tar Heels beat Cinderella (St. Pete's)?

Stay tuned

I'm going with no.... it was fun while it lasted though!

At this point I'm thinking Kansas.

First time I've had time to watch games and it was two blowouts. Hopefully Final Four games are better.

Bet big on the UNC/St Pete money line for UNC even though it was -360. The conspiracy theorist in me was convinced there was just no way they were losing that game. St Peter's Cinderella run was awesome, but Duke/UNC in the Final Four? That's a CBS/NCAA dream matchup.

Both final 4 games look to be interesting .... Duke isn't a whole lot better then UNC but I think they get past them in a tight game and I like Kansas to handle Nova.

I didn't watch many games this year so I'm not all that confident.
