March Madness Discussion Thread (Canadian Focus)

My bracket is ruined, took the wrong gambles, and she is sinking.

However, my bracket glasses are off and I can enjoy the underdog, which is what March Madness is really about. Bracket freedom!

UNC game or Raptors game?
I'm thinking former. I skipped last couple of our games lol

Probably keep on eye on both. Just concentrate on the UNC game whenever Barnes is in.

I realize i'm probably alone in this but I prefer how The Score's coverage covered multiple games and didn't stick with a blow just because it was a Duke or UNC playing, i'm stuck on an Ohio St blow out right now when I'd rather catch the ending of FSU and A&M, oh well...

I hate giving people on this board any credit but the people who said TSN would suck were right. There is no excuse for the NCAA Tournament to be bumped off TSN for a hockey game. They should NOT have bought the rights for it if they were not going to give it the respect and coverage it deserves.

This is one thing I don't think is TSN's fault. CBS is not flipping back and forth either because every game is on TV in the US. I am hoping that it says in the contract that they are not allowed to flip back and forth or TSN sucks for that too.

LOL...I'm pondering the same thing. Want to see Harrison. I can't believe it's that hard of a decision given that the Raps suck and the Wiz suck...man I must love this team.

Have VCU in the Elite 8, so here's hoping they can hold on vs Georgetown.

Kentucky(4) vs West Viriginia(5) @ 12:15 - should be a nice game

Kentucky struggled against Princton's size, but were able to pull it out. I am leaning towards them.

I hope they win this one for my bracket, but that's as far as they're going anyways
