I’m in. I will probably do terrible this year since I only follow the ACC, who I don’t really expect to make much of an impact besides UNC maybe.

Howard gets three open 3's to tie it and can't make one. That's rough


Tournament wins by N.Y. Borough:
Queens: 27
Manhattan: 15
Bronx: 4
Staten Island: 1
Brooklyn: 0

Virginia has not won an NCAA Tournament game since they won the championship in 2019. They’re the first champion in modern era to not win a game in the five years after they won a title.

Sports historians will look back at this stretch in bafflement. First 1 seed to lose to a 16 seed then follow up by winnng the entire tournament then descend into the most boring, fair to middling CBB program ever.

Nevada had a 16 point lead over Dayton with less than 6 minutes left and lost in regulation. One of the worst collapses in tournament history there

I had a bunch of losses but none of any Sweet 16 teams. Yet. That Kentucky shit was pathetic

Kentucky losing already blew up my entire bracket so that was fun while it lasted.

Colorado State scoring 44 points in their loss and Mississippi State dropping just 51 in their loss are low-key pathetic tournament performances too.

I had Colorado State in both of my Sweet 16 brackets. D’oh! Virginia’s poor offense during the play in game rubbed off on them.

4 ACC teams in Sweet 16. Guess decline of the conference has been greatly exaggerated.

It could have been five if Pittsburgh and/or Wake made it in the tournament instead of UVA!

Gee I wonder if there’s a current player there whose father is very involved and has close ties with another collegiate coach who is under hot water for his failing to reach lofty expectations…
