The 2016 March Madness Thread

[UK2K]

The ncaa is so predictable. It's always the same fu##ing coaches and teams winning it.
I wouldn't be mad if Providence knocked off Kansas either, I'd be happy in fact. But I still got Kansas winning it.

Two years ago the championship game was between an 8 and a 9 seed. It was UK and u Conn but still... if you kept up with the season, nobody predicted they'd make it that far.

My FF:

Kansas
Kentucky (I'm a homer, sue me)
MSU
TAMU

UK beating MSU
KU beating TAMU

UK over KU 76-71.

Smh I really chose UNCW at first but changed my mind the last second

Is Duke actually gonna get upset in the first game of the tourney?

Not when they have the best player in the nation (Ingram).

Not gonna happen.

really like Kentucky guards so don't think its homerish to say they can win it all

Other than last year, they're pretty much a guaranteed bust every go around.

2014 - Lost to Mercer first round.
2013 - Lost to Louisville in the EE
2012 - Lost to Lehigh first round
2011 - Lost to Arizona in the SS

They won the championship in 2010 but before that, they hadn't made the final four 5 years in a row.

So in a nut shell, in the past 11 years, they've won two titles, while 8 of the other 9 years they didn't make it past the elite eight.

Sketchy ass refs want Duke to lose so bad.

Are you kidding me? UNCW is getting hosed right now.

[Wally450]

Yea, I remember in 08 when they lost to Eric Maynor and VCU in the first round. That was kind of the start of their 1st round upsets.

The four #1 seeds have a combined 23 losses this year. That's more than any other year in the history of the tourney.

The field is wide open.

The tourney is pretty boring this year, no players to watch or stories at all. Hope it changes after the first round.

Duke is gonna sneak this one out, but it's pretty obvious they are not long for this dance.

*edit damn, had no idea this thread was made in off the court lounge we can all move there, my feelings won't be hurt

Plenty of NBA talent to watch. And it's the excitement of single elimination school pride that make the tourney exciting.

How many freakin Plumlees are there?

Last one. Of course, everyone acting like he came out of nowhere when he was a McDonald's AA, only now getting a shot as a senior because of an injury.

Their perceived lack of depth has a top 15 recruit sitting on his hands a transfer who averaged almost a double double as a freshman.

Also, their team doesn't play a lick of defense.
