NCAA Tournament 2018

[Derwood]

They squeaked it out, but they looked pretty bad for that Nevada run at the end.

Like all the other Nevada runs, except they never got the lead this time.

[Brian707]

Saturday should be interesting. Probably would be fairly significant underdogs vs Kentucky or a toss up vs K State

I went to Loyola for a year and a half, so I'm having fun pretending I care (I actually don't mean that in a smart ass-ey way)

[UMFan83]

Dammit I really wish Loyola was on the other side of the bracket. Each 1 game from them going from my second favorite team in the tourney to my mortal enemy

[Old Style]

:bye:

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I think i’m in danger of fouling out in this k-state/Kentucky game

[soccer10k]

9 vs 11 for a Final Four spot. Fitting considering how much of a disaster that region was.

[Old Style]

My second chance brackets are already fucked. Why do I continue to waste money on this horsefeathers?

9 vs 11 for a Final Four spot. Had to happen with how much of a disaster that region was.

 

We are about 3 minutes away from ensuring that one of these 4 teams will play in the title game:

 

-Loyola

-Kansas State

-Florida State

-Michigan

[soccer10k]

Michigan is our only hope of having a competitive title game.

Michigan is our only hope of having a competitive title game.

Nova-Duke is gonna be the championship game. But yeah. Nova-Michigan should be fun. Nova is still my prohibitive favorite.

[The_Achiever]

Ugh Bruce. You killed Illinois basketball and nary a consequence. F that guy forever.

[Derwood]

I love that the morning-after articles are all “Michigan is a sure thing for the Final Four”....yes, because the better seeds have just been breezing through this thing. 24 hours ago Kentucky was the team cakewalking to the Final Four

[Old Style]

I hope Duke, Kansas, and Villanova all lose tonight. horsefeathers up the whole damn thing at this point.

[Brian707]

If Michigan were to lose and Loyola makes the championship game they will have beaten a 6,3,7,9,9 to get to the championship game. I am rooting for them but that would have to be the easiest route to a title game ever?

[UMFan83]

Yes me too. How angry would fans be if MIchigan's run to a title was 14 Montana, 6 Houston, 7 Texas A&M, 9 Florida State, 11 Loyola, 11 Syracuse?

Loyola vs Syracuse for the title.

I dunno but it reminds me a lot of Michigan's 2014 run which was against a 15 seed (Wofford), 7 seed (Texas), 11 seed (Tennessee), 8 seed (Kentucky), then if they would have won they'd have 2 Wisconsin (beat already @Wisc) and 7 UConn in the title game.

Bob Newhart is a Loyola Alum. I wonder if he's been watching these games.

2008 Kansas went 16, 8, 12, 10. They did beat two 1 seeds in the Final Four though.

[UMFan83]

Will be funny if Loyola wins to see their "Teamcast" broadcast where they show the game on another channel but with local radio guys and fans chiming in

Loyola vs Syracuse for the title.

horsefeathers Syracuse.

 

They're a random sport team that I just hate for some reason.

[sneakypower]

Nova-Duke is gonna be the championship game. But yeah. Nova-Michigan should be fun. Nova is still my prohibitive favorite.

Michigan's pretty arguably in the best form of any team currently

eh for me it would just even things out for 2013 sins

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Nova/Duke would be a Final 4 matchup, it can't be the title game. At this point I'm aiming for the balance of maximum seeding and mid-major chaos, with exceptions for power conference teams that are aesthetic obscenities(Syracuse, WVU, KSU).
