Brink truck it'll be. Yeah Wright might be interesting, and no buy-outs. Oats just signed a new contract, with $10m buy out and $5m per year. Kentucky would probably spend that money though wouldn't they.

Bruce Pearl would crush at Kentucky….

I dunno. Bruce Pearl's offense is kinda ugly. Kentucky wants a coach who'll play something pretty ball as well as winning ball I think? The question is what direction they're going to go - a proven name or a rising up and comer. I like what Iowa State's coach has done over there. If he goes far in the tournament I'm thinking he gets poached to a big name program.

What about FAUs coach? I could see that happening

March Madness never ever fails. It’s just top tier entertainment

By far the best sports event of the year. I’d take this over nfl playoffs any day

yeah he's the definition of an up and coming coach too. I can see someone making a move for him.

Gonzaga trailed just once , 2-0, against popular upset pick McNeese State Cowboys tonite.

Zags proved many of us wrong. What a dominating game for the Bulldogs.

Now I’m wondering if my Sanford pick was dumb

Texas Tech looks fresher. I'm kinda nervous.

Are they a high volume 3 point shooting team? Tournament balls might affect them.

I can’t even describe how they play. It’s frenetic in all aspects like you really never see. Yes, high volume 3s

Darkhorse: San Diego State, UConn, FAU, St Marys (CA), Arizona, etc.

Lol. Toss up!

Lots of good teams and interesting match ups. There may be quite a few upsets as well.

Ok.

I'm gonna go crazy here.

Final 4
UConn, Zags, Houston, and Arizona.

Houston beats AZ in the Title game!

I had faith in Self to not lose in 1st round despite how many injuries.

I just watched that Oak vs UK game to see whats up... kinda unfair to send a 35yr old father of 2 to beat up UKs kids...

Seriously, how old is that guy. He looka older than my Magic team. I wouldnt be surprised seeing him olen a cold one with Jingles talking about the old days
