I know we have a draft thread, and technically the tournament started a couple days ago, but I figure we could use a thread just for discussing the tourney both men's and women's

So anyways, UConn gonna get a double championship like in 2014

Creighton's Trey Alexander played the entire game vs Akron before getting subbed out with a minute-ish to go. He's played the full 40 six times this season. Also games of 43, 45 and 53 minutes.

Thibs when he sees this:

Women's tourney is where the heat will be.

UCONN and So. Carolina are my teams, I love Paige and Milaysia Fulwiley so much. Two of my favorite hoopers

The 11th seed anomaly continued today with both Duquesne and Oregon beating their #6 seeded opponents

This brings the record of the 11th seed in round 1 up to 29-25 going back to 2010?!

This isn’t a good first impression for Reed Sheppard. Some dudes on the draft board are calling him Curry 2.0, not really living up to that right now.

I feel like Kentucky hasn't had it in a while

Like, they really haven't had any tourney runs or top end draft picks in like 5 years.

I'm at Barclay's for the 2nd round, and I've walked by three arena employees (in full Brooklyn gear) to get in. All three dapped me up and exchanged extra pleasantries after seeing my Knicks shirt. I even started yelling "THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE" back and forth with one of the guys as we walked away.

On the women's side, LSU vs Iowa on Monday.

Juju and USC are playing now, Paige and UConn play in the 8pm game. Great hoops

great game tonight, but Purdue is a monster.

SC vs Iowa had a record breaking audience for a non NFL/Olympic event.

The men’s team though best college basketball team ever, best program in the modern era. Still a great year for the women making the final four was a great run. Next year UConn and South Carolina will be the top 2 teams.

Return to New York Knicks
