Sorry I missed out on Del's bracket pool but you guys all know I'm a loyal Duke fan.  :cheers:

Yeah, some of the officiating has been just awful this year, but when you are on the wrong side of a bad call you just gotta keep playing.  :shrug:

No doubt the best 4 teams are left.

When I first filled out my bracket, my Final Four ended up with the 4 #1 seeds.

I was like, nah...

So I stuck in Tennessee and Michigan State.

Whoops.

I don't think Houston has enough offense to beat Duke.

The only thing Houston has going for them is experience. Duke is all 18-19 year olds. Hell, Flagg should be a senior in HS this year.

But they are REALLY good 18-19 year olds. I don't know how they lose.

The NIL has changed everything. I feel sorry for the coaches, especially the mid majors who lose their entire team.

Mid majors? Hell, IU has NO team currently. Zero players on its roster. :rofl:

And Painter at Purdue has finally dipped a toe in the transfer portal. This should make them a little tougher next year.

That happens when coaches leave. We had zero players starting last season. I really don't think they should offer scholarships anymore. A lot of these players are getting 1-3 million a year.

KU damn sure hasn't had great luck building a team with players from the transfer portal. Lots of talent, not very good teams. :shrug:

Purdue almost got me. Houston holds them off 62-60.

Del rolling along. Greg doing well. Smit got bit by Alabama..

Watching Auburn vs Florida. They are both great teams. Going to the buzzer I think.

3 Jewish coaches at final four. Pearl, Scheyer, Golden. Intriguing!

Congrats, Del on your big win.

I felt dirty rooting for Duke.

Need a shower.

I didn't think Houston had enough offense to beat Duke. I was wrong again. I went to bed in the first half.
