Clemson has 11 points, is 1-14 from 3 and has 10 turnovers with 1 minute left in the half.

And I have them in the Elite 8...

Well they are up to 27 points. Halfway through the 2nd half.

Let’s see if they can get over a point per minute for the full game.

The 5/12 curse strikes again (likely)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'd be annoyed by this offensive performance if I were a McNeese fan. Thoughts and prayers to the people in orange.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Georgia is also shitting the bed.

[Derwood]

Clemson is mounting a comeback

[Ding Dong Johnson]

That was quite possibly the most boring 2 point game ever.

BYU game was fun. I have them going one more 

First half of Auburn game was the most exciting basketball so far. The Purdue game was good too but imI wanted them upset

Also the most boring 5/12 upset I can remember

[Hot Sauce]

Only one in my bracket contest that had McNeese for the upset. 😎

UCSD was my other 12-5 upset. My condolences ahead of time to the Michigan fans here.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Well we at least got a couple good games tonight.

Kansas became only the second team in history to be a preseason #1 and lose in the first round. 
 

The other team was…Kansas in 2005.

However, as my friend the Kansas fan pointed out, that's not as embarrassing as UNC starting as #1 and not even making the tournament.

I had UCSD as well and almost got the upset.

Mizzou had it going with a comeback until every single player on the team that touched the ball after they got to within one point decided they were going to be the hero instead of running the offense and it cost them the game.

These are the best two days in sports and I am not even a huge college basketball fan anymore.

 

14/16 in my bracket. I expect to come crashing down today.

I love looking for the brewing upsets and flipping to that channel to see if it happens.  I do watch some college basketball but it’s mostly Badgers so I can’t claim to be following the sport as a whole.

The quad box on YouTube TV was made for this exact weekend.  It's so amazing.

I definitely don’t have the patience for full basketball games anymore. Show me the last 2-3 minutes of close games, otherwise I don’t care

The MVC has produced some big bracket busters over the years but I just wasn’t buying Drake. The conference was much weaker this year than in years past.

I will only watch full games if Illinois is playing... otherwise, I'll check in during the 2H of games in the tourney, and watch if they're close

Big Ten looking good thus far, undefeated.

SEC not looking great. Glad Miss pulled it out, they're in my E8

[gflore34]

Except for the TO’s the good Illini showed up.  Xavier never really had a chance, final score was closer because of the TO’s.  In KJ defense he did get mugged a couple of times.

Illini were definitely the better team. Underwood had them ready to go, which was really nice to see. Now go beat Kentucky!
