I know IU isn't in it and this thread isn't to pour salt in the would. The NCAA Tournament is one of the best events in sports, so I 'll still be watching. Let's enjoy it together. Post thoughts on games, share your upset picks, brackets etc.
PS There are other threads to use to complain about IUBB, this is to enjoy March Madness.
Florida repeat. That's all I got.
The First Four starts tonight at 6:40.
No. 16 Howard (-1.5) vs. No. 16 UMBC Total: 143.5 6:40pm on TruTV
No. 11 Texas vs. No. 11 NC State (-1.5) Total: 158.5 9:15pm on Tru TV
Should be two good ones.
Which high seed will take down Purdue?
@ams66 If Queens was the NY college I'd say them. I think they avoid LIU and Hofstra as well
Iowa St is my dark horse if a 2 seed can be that.
Great first game! Took the over so….Cash That Ticket!
Second game was pretty darn good if you ignored the shady past of each coach.
Two more games tonight! Also join the Hoosier Huddle Bracket Challege if you haven't details are pinned on the board in a separate thread.
16. Prarie View A&M vs. 16. Lehigh (-3.5) Total: 142.5 6:40pm on TruTV
11. Miami (OH) vs. 11. SMU (-6.5) Total 163.5 9:15pm on TruTV

Making Miami (OH) go through this play-in bullshit is criminal.
@unclemark It guarantees people lock in to watch. Let's not pretend that this whole thing isn't for TV drama. I love the tournament, but that also plays a big role.
@unclemark….and I still can’t figure out how all of the people in the selection room looked at St.John’s as a 5 seed and UConn as a 2 and agreed on it. Zero common sense.

kind of cool that it’s in Dayton though. Not sure how many fans come up from Oxford. I doubt they will have as much of a home court advantage as IU had the year we made the play in game and played there.
@gerdis Not sure how the ticket allocations go each night for the 4 teams. But I would say the potential would be there for Miami to have well over 80% of the fans for their game.
I'm glad I didn't bet the NC State game, because I would have put a lot on them to not only beat Texas, but also beat BYU, and maybe even get to the S16. Its making me take another look at ACC teams, other than Duke... as potential early round loss candidates.
@iunorth I believe it works like any tournament site. People can buy all-session tickets or session one and session two tickets. 80% may be on the low end.
