Illinois tips at 8:40 CST on Friday night.

[SpongeWorthy]

You guys watching this Fab 5 doc?

 

Them trashing Laettner was hilarious.

[Flames24Rulz]

Marv, Kerr and Sager will be doing the Illinois game as well. Awesome.

 

And yeah, this Fab Five documentary is ridiculous.

[bukie]

Yes, Seth Greenberg there's a conspiracy theory to hold down Virginia [expletive] Tech

 

Could you imagine sulley if that happened to Illinois in back to back years?

Not going to lie, if Illinois had missed the tournament this year again, I'd have pretty much sworn off college basketball for a while.

So Illinois is playing on TBS?

Yep. @CBSSports on Twitter has the game times and announcing pairs for the first round.

Ok I found it somewhere else but it was kinda a mess to read so just wanted to make sure.

Anyone taking a first pass at the bracket?

 

My first instinct Final Four: Ohio State, Texas, Purdue, Pitt

Surprise Elite 8 teams: St. John's, Temple

Surprise Sweet 16 teams: Richmond

 

I think I need more upsets in the 4-6 range.

I'm very conflicted on Wisconsin. On one hand, they drew the one team that I was sure I'd take against anyone. On the other hand, should they get past that game, every other team in the region is overseeded or the weakest of their seed, IMO.

My big first round upset is "The Bucknells" over UConn.

People in Wisconsin are going to be pissed. Marquette and Wisconsin both play on TruTv which is not available in HD on local cable channels. I think the only people around here that can get the game in HD are those with Dish Network.

[Cubswin11]

My first time through.

 

Final Four: Duke, OSU, Kansas, Kansas St. (Kansas over OSU in the championship)

Surprise 16: Gonzaga,

Surprise 8: Washington, Richmond

 

Upsets in first round: Princeton, Gonzaga, Belmont, Richmond, Morehead St.

I'm considering a Wisconsin-MSU battle for the Final Four, which makes me feel really dumb.

 

And I also really like Washington over UNC for some reason.

[SouthSideRyan]

Final 4: UNC, Texas, Pitt, Purdue (Texas over Pitt in final)

 

Mizzou to elite 8, MSU to sweet 16, Gonzaga, Belmont, VCU, Marquette, and Morehead to round of 32.

[Guest]

I hate that Mizzou is the only team I remotely like on the bottom of the West, and I shouldn't like them at all. This would be so much easier if UConn would've just lost on Friday or something.

[Flames24Rulz]

First go-through.

 

Final Four: UNC, Duke, Kansas, BYU

Surprise 16: Xavier, Richmond, MSU

Surprise 8: Butler

 

Upsets in First Round: Missouri, Florida State, Richmond, Morehead State, Belmont, and Oakland

 

I have quite a few first round upsets, but I have largely chalk in my Elite Eight besides Butler, which is concerning.

[SouthSideRyan]

And I hate the committee for making me pick Kansas to beat Illinois

[SouthSideRyan]

Where did they dig up Jason Patric from for these promos.

 

And why?

Champ: OSU

Runner-up: Notre Dame

Final Four: Wisconsin, Duke

Elite Eight: Washington, SDSU, Louisville, Gonzaga

Sweet 16: Kentucky, Syracuse, Texas, Cincy, Illinois, Purdue, Pitt, Michigan State

First round upsets: Bucknell, Marquette, Utah State, VCU

[Keener98]

Heh, Memphis plays Arizona 1st round. Where did current Memphis head coach come from? Former Arizona walk-on/assistant. Committee sure does love their storylines

I'm going to go ahead and doubt the committee planned that one.

Them trashing Laettner was hilarious.

 

They called him a b!tch and a pu$$ey. It wasn't exactly daniel tosh-level trash they were unleashing.

[Andy]

In my first gut picks, I somehow ended up with two double-digit seeds in the Elite 8 (Missouri and MSU), Old Dominion and Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, only 2 Big East teams in the Elite 8 (Syracuse and ND - I fully expect that after last year when the Big East bit me by sucking, they will now bite me by doing well), and a Kansas over Duke final.

 

I damn near picked A&M to beat ND in round 2 but I couldn't do it.

[Guest]

Gus Johnson doing Friday/Sunday in Cleveland.

 

Hopefully he gets better first weekend games than last year.
