Non Boog specific COLLEGE HOOPS thread

bama getting an easy path to the elite 8 is not fun to me. Rick Barnes choking again the tourney is, however, very funny to me.

Wisky was ranked 12th there and a 9 seed. I didn’t pick Wisky but I don’t feel great about Baylor today.
 
Wow just finished watching the Loyola Sister Jeans dismantle the Illini on delay. The B1G not looking so great. I think they’ve lost a #1 & 2 & 4 I can think of, & two of those in the first round. Funny to see Loyola doing the BRUCE Dance.
 
Just noticed every seed except #16 still in the Thrilling 32™️. And yeah I’m trademarking that before the NCAA cause I came up with Elite 8 in 86 when the Boogs knocked out Tark the Shark’s Running Rebels & they didn’t trademark it until 97 filthy bastages.
 
B1G stinking it up largely with two 2’s & a 1 not advancing to the SS, while the under rated PAC whatever is like 7-0. And of course the Bams catch #10 Maryland & the bottom #1 Michigan is in their bracket. Nary a Blue Blood left in their bracket unlike the run of the Boogs two years ago.

I don’t think there is any such thing as an easy path anymore. Every year the Mid Majors get better and better.
But still I just glanced & they gonna face three double digit seeds to make the Elite Eight with a 15, 10 & probably an 11 that is already playing their third game. Actually could face a 14 ILO of 11, but that seems unlikely at this point.

Not arguing that. On paper it absolutely looks easy. It’s just a day to day things for teams now. Many thought Texas could get them. Nobody thought AC was gonna get Texas first.

Instead of saying nobody has easy games maybe I should say you have to play 6 pretty good games in a row. Because anybody can beat anybody on a given day. Captain obvs right??
 
UCLA and Syracuse as play in 11’s, both look like teams that can play the 3rd weekend to me.

Agreed & LSU definitely looks like the better team right now. Bams played their worst game Saturday since before league play started & still won by double digits. Maybe I should step back & give them more credit for only losing two conference games, but I still don’t have to like it. Gonna be tough weathering this game with the wife tonight, but she thinks the Boogs are all HYGS so I’ll try & behave.

Man Maryland sucks ass. It’s crazy how many teams in the tourney are complete garbage.
 
Houston as a 2 has an even easier route on paper to the Final Four than Bama. 9 of 16 teams left are 5 seeds or higher. Crazy tourney. 4 PAC teams is the craziest thing to me! Bill Walton is loving life!

Gonzaga's Second Round game was always going to be one of two teams that beat the #5 overall seed.
 
Arky into the Elite 8 from the SEC. IF Bama makes it, it will be a stretch to use the bad league excuse.
