How is yours?

I didn't do a bracket this year. I've been too busy drafting fantasy baseball teams before the season starts next Thursday. I'm just happy both North Carolina and North Carolina State won yesterday.

I'm surprised UNC is only a 3.5 favorite tomorrow against MSU...

Tom Izzo is one of the best coaches in the NCAA. Tar Heels bring their game it won't be much of a contest.

I like UNC in that one

R.J Davis should have a big game.

Looks like Clemson is on its way to a win. That would make the ACC 3-0 so far.

good recruiter, HORRIBLE coach. he's unbelievable LOL
star recruits go to KY because they see all the ex-ky players in the nba, but they never think that MAYBE ky kids are in the nba IN SPITE of cali

what a joke

I feel bad for Kentucky fans. UK has basically turned into an AAU, glorified G League/NBA minor league basketball program since hes gotten there. Just pump out players to the pros annually and have to restock with more one and done 5 star blue chip players, normally only there for yr or 2. They build no continuity. They stay young, loaded with freshmen, sophomores every season.
Its no wonder they lose very often to the mid majors ( usually tons of juniors and seniors with great team chemistry) and other veteran teams during the regular season and tournaments (NIT and NCAA).

there was an article that came out several years ago, i'd say early teens, where some nba scouts said KY players were the worst prepared/coached they'd ever seen. cal just rolls the ball onto the floor

True.

If Stan Van Gundy keeps saying "penetration is good" he needs to look less than Ron Jeremy.

8 and 9 and 7 and 10 seed matchups are always tough to pick.
