Pine's note: I merged the NCAA Brackets thread and the March Madness Players to Watch threads into this one thread to discuss March madness in any form. Discuss teams, scores, players, brackets, etc here.

Good luck to all of you!

I am in it... to win it!

Actually, I've never come close to winning one of these in about 20 years of trying.

Since I NEVER do well I just picked by my heart.

Maryland over Virginia 81-74.

Oregon and Seton Hall round out my Final Four.

Winner gets to do the best Trump "you're fired", as you pull the chair from under EG...

Don't forget to get your brackets in.

I'm almost chalk among the final four.

Tonight's game Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Wichita State Shockers I'll be watching Wichita State's Fred Van Vleet.

A small point guard who defends, has a nice jump shot, a very good assist to turnover ratio but doesn't seem to be getting a ton of love on any draft sites' mock draft. I want to see more of what he offers, perhaps a summer league invite heading into next season.

Potential Ramon Sessions replacement?



Will also be watching C Damian Jones of Vanderbilt.

We have no draft picks and Ernie doesn't seem to watch basketball.

I'm interested in seeing if Buddy Hield will be more of a Kemba Walker tourney player or and Adam Morrison. Also Kris Dunn.

I want to see if Maryland can break out of this shooting slump and get back to the way they players the first 3/4 of the season.

I will be surprised if they do look good, they appear to have been overrated.

Watch out for Hawaii's PG Roderick Bobbitt. I think he's an even better prospect than Sessions, who I recall watching live as he was at Nevada. I liked Sessions. Bobbitt is potentially an NBA starting PG IMO.

I expect he's going to have a huge game against his hometown (Oakland is close to UC Berkley's campus) Cal Bears.

BTW, UNCW's unis are clearly built on the Wizards' blue alt template.

Any upsets?

We never talked about what the loser gets.

I picked Yale. Also picked Butler. Looks like I got this tournament dominated.

Dang!! Kudos for picking Yale
