Too bad for Coach Self. He's a heck of a coach. I didn't think he would have the strength to return so soon after 2 stents. I experienced the same thing and was amazed how weak I was for a good month. Get well soon.

Quote from: Tim Johnson on March 18, 2023, 08:26 AMNew York sports radio was talking hard about firing Matt Painter this morning but he more talking about the bad players wrapped around Eddy, being in last place in three point shooting attempts and near last in three point accuracy.

He should have fired with 2 minutes to go in the game and made to walk home from Columbus. They could have pulled any random fan from the stands and it wouldn't have been any worse.

But he won't get fired. They will keep him forever and continue to choke in the tournament.

Was hoping Kentucky could make sweet 16. Little guard for KS kicked our ass.

I realize a lot of you guys are in to this, But I have to say I have zero knowledge and could care less who the next supposed NBA star is.

I have not nor will not watch a basketball game in either setting.

I loved to watch back in the day of Jordan, the Pistons, the Lakers.

But now it is some ass wipe that claims to be a King...He's Not.

I think I lost it between Shaq and Kobe.

It's just players that want to highlight themselves....Not a Team.

And coaches who want to be Political.

Meh. :)

I didn't think K state had it in them. They haven't played great on the road. They played an excellent last 4 minutes.

If my bracket hadn't already been destroyed that would have done it!  :crazy:

We were inconsistent all year. Didn't have any high hopes for us.

Ricky Council who played for Arkansas against KU, played for Wichita State last year. I guess he made a good choice to transfer.

I assure you guys, the fact that I am tied for 3rd is a complete fluke! I don't really follow any sports at all. I don't even have ESPN. My dad and I drag race, so unless it's got tires on it I couldn't care less.

That said, I do fill out a bracket each year and enjoy the blind luck that I sometimes have. It's fun to dabble in something different a couple times a year.

My bracket is busted, I picked Kansas to go all the way. I had them beating Purdue. I expect to finish in 6th or 7th  ;D

Lol. I don't think being a student of the game is helpful in picking the winners at all, especially this year! There has been so many upsets that an "expert" would never predict.

I don't know, maybe being an "expert" might make a difference in the 8/9ish matchups but when it comes to FDU over Purdue or Furman over Virginia I think knowing more will definitely be working against you. :)

Well it looks like me or Dan still have a chance...Houston or Alabama.

Definitely more surprises this year than ever before, but that's why they call it March Madness!  :cheers:

Based on historical data, Purdue students have a better chance of walking on the moon than making it to the Final Four. :coffee:

As hot as AL is right now, it doesn't mean much. I've never seen so many upsets.
This is by far the best chance Bama has ever had in getting to the Final Four.  Hope they make it happen because this may never happen again.  I'm ready for Friday!

Welp, at least they didn't get embarrassed in round 1.
