Yale was down by 6 with 30 seconds to brown in the ivy championship game. They have balls of steel


This is why I don't like Bruce Pearl's coaching. He just drops these stinkers regularly. Yale has 3 point lead with 34 seconds left. It should have never come to this.


I know how it feels to lose to an ivy :lol:

Tennessee did win, but conference looking not as deep
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

Auburn lost. SEC now 1-5. This busts a lot of brackets - Florida and Auburn going out so early.

Auburn had 100 chances and blew them all. Yikes.

I picked Yale to win :lol:

March Madness always lives up to the name. Every year it’s a given that the 1st week of March Madness is going to give you so many entertaining games.

Any thoughts on the evening games?

USU Aggies are tuff. I hope my TCU Horned Frogs win!
Don't really know what to expect, TBH.

Have a sneaky feeling about the JMU/Wisky game. Potential upset.

I think that the other favs will win tonite.
TAMU/Nebraska could be a toss up.

As We speak, Auburn (Yale) and Florida (Colorado) are struggling at the moment.


My only concern is everyone is taking JMU…but Wisconsin has been rolling lately.

I was wrong.
Lots of upsets today as well. :o !!

Another nerd school (Yale... Ivy League) just upset Auburn , defensive stand and Colorado beats Florida in a high scoring game, last second shot. Crazy

I wouldn't have been as adventurous to make that pick. What basis did you pick Yale? Talent wise and experience wise Auburn was better.

Ya Kenpom has them as not even a top 100 team. Hoping Flip and crew puts them away early. Really don’t want a night with me fighting off a heart attack all night haha.

I love March Madness except when Duke plays their games haha

Japanese Steph Curry is something else.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

This first round is just one of many examples as to why I don't bet on sports.
