First time watching college basketball, how far can Utah state go? It seems like washington will stomp them from what I saw.

Not if I have anything to say about it. It's /myyear/

>It seems like washington will stomp them from what I saw
Where are you getting your info from? Utah State should be the favorites in that game before they get smoked by UNC

Out of curiousity why did you ask about Utah St in particular? But yeah no one will really put them passed the Tarheels.

Basically watched 3 pundits make their ncaa brackets and none of them put Utah st throught the first round

They have 2 portuguese players in the roster, and one of them can be the first ever portuguese in the Nba, Neemias Queta

I'm first time as well. Anyone know if Purdue have a chance at winning.

anyone have the link + password for our espn group or are we using the same one as last time

They give too much respect to Washington for their status as a Power 6 school. Nothing Washington has done this season has been particularly impressive, especially after they got smacked by Oregon in the PAC-12 conf title game. An Oregon team that wouldn't have even made the tournament otherwise.

They play Old Dominion, right? ODU aren't a pushover, but Purdue should be good for at least a second round trip. They have no chance of winning the whole thing, but a trip to the Elite 8 isn't completely out of the question, if they get a good matchup if Cincy can beat Tennessee

Is there a UConn this year

Didn't make it.

I think this is it with no password, unless there is another one.

I can't trust Virginia after last year, and Zaga is almost always overrated.

Duke is guaranteed elite 8. Gonzaga loses early to Cure or FSU. Kentucky and UNC are also elite 8 locks, when it comes to Virginia's bracket... Pick a god and pray

The first 4 in teams that are 11 seeds are just schools that wouldn't have made it in under the old 64 and 65 team tournaments. All conference tournament champions get automatic bids, but nobody would really argue that an 11 seeded Zona State or St.Johns shouldn't be a higher seed than say.. a 14 seed Yale

KState’s defense is great. However their offense is a garbage fire.

Both of these teams are playing way too urgently.

North Carolina (20) and Kentucky (17) have the most Final Four appearances, but with both in the Midwest Region this year, only one has chance to get back.

8 schools have won 3+ men's NCAA March Madness titles:

>UCLA 11 (last title: 1995)
Kentucky 8 (2012)
North Carolina 6 (2017)
Duke 5 (2015)
>Indiana 5 (1987)
>UConn 4 (2014)
Kansas 3 (2008)
Villanova 3 (2018)

Of those 8, three didn't make March Madness this year:
UConn 16–17 (6–12 AAC)
UCLA 17–16 (9–9 Pac-12)
Indiana 17–15 (8–12 Big Ten)

see

Dook's starting center is out with an injury, and basically everyone outside of Zion and Barrett is garbage. UCF unironically has a chance.

they can't
UK is better

St. Mary’s is absolute AIDS. They are 1-6 vs. tourney teams including losses to Utah State, Cal Irvine, LSU, Miss State and Zags twice - once by 50. 50 fucking points.

The one win vs Zags was the ultimate combo of tryhard and running white hot where all their shit fade-aways shot clock running down garbage went in.

This team also lost to Pepperdine and San Diego yet some expect them to beat the defending champs who just won the Big East tourney?

Easiet bet of round 1 - bet a bazillion on Nova. Nova will win by 10+ easy. This is coming from a non-Nova fan who follows college basketball closely. Don’t touch SMC.

They're going to lose to ISU in the second round, but if they made it past them they could easily beat Kentucky. UK is very vulnerable to memechucking.

Buffalo seems kinda memeish to me
Their big wins diminished and one of the play-in teams usually wins

Low seeded teams that have had recent tournament success can be really dangerous. Butler in 2011 wasn't expected to do shit and they memed to a final appearance. uconn and kentucky were 7 and 8 seeds in 2014 and met in the championship game. don't be surprised if villanova goes further than expected

I have no idea how Loyola is still in this game with Creighton. They look so much worse but manage to hang around on the road.

They've been shit, but they're right next to Nova on kenpom and they match up well with them. Nova's been overrated all year, look at how they got absolutely memed on by Michigan and Furman at home.

UVA you can make the argument because their system lets any team hang around, but MSU has final 4s and nattys under the current coach.

Well hello there

Virginia is absolute trash in March. They aren’t built to win a tourney like NCAA’s. Over the last five seasons they’re 133-33 and have one Sweet 16 and one Elite 8 appearance and of course LOLUMBC.

No clue why people keep backing them as a natty contender.

temple has momentum

They're more similar to gonzaga lite than anything else. Godly offense, pretty good D. They beat all the good teams they were faced with except Marquette, but Markus Howard decided to hit like nine impossible threes in a row after it being a tie game for ~30 minutes. Their two conference losses were by a combined 6 points during a massive shooting slump by the best sharpshooter on the team (Harris), who is now in a groove and has scored 20 points in all of his last 4 games. I think they're in for a fantastic game against TTU, and if they make it, Michigan/Nevada.

Just how we like it

Virginia's style is trash in tournaments. Packline is great for opponents you know - IE the coach - but when it's a different team across three mini tournaments, it's trash.

It's a failed philosophy that can't generate offense.

They will never win an NCAA.

Its Murray State over Marquette.

Because Wisconsin always chokes

Also Marquette has been garbage as of late and Murray St. Will beat them

This is actually a decent game

Iowa +3 over Cincy is a mortal lock. Only a fool would fail to bet on this.

So is Texas/SDSU. The Dominator has them within 3 on the road at Texas.

Yale over LOLSU
Old Dominion over Purdouche

You can thank me counting your money this weekend.

UVA is gonna fool everyone by losing in the second round this time.

What part of Belmont are you lads from?

Belmont relies on memechuck and literally does everything else badly

You're missing out. Hofstra/NCSU was a great game too, just a shame Hofstra didn't pull off the upset and humiliate those arrogant faggots.

To be fair, Hofstra was one of the better non-conference teams NC State has played this year.

Wait lads do temple suck?

We're better off now with a new coach to be honest.

Who /brackets/ here?

For me, it's the CAA Tournament MVP Vasa Pushica of Northeastern Huskies.

This season he's averaging 18PPG, 4APG, 4RPG, 1.5 STL, 41% behind the arc and 50FG%

He will lead his team to the NCAA final four.

Why are people buying this Wofford meme? They get obliterated by any tournament team they played through the regular season. It sure doesnt help Seton Hall isnt a great team but I still dont get why everybody has the cute dogs as a lock

KU fan reporting in. This year has been pretty rough on the Jayhawks.

For a 7 seed they actually have the most picks against them getting out of the first round. In fact UCF as a 9 seed is picked higher than them to advance. I think most realize they're not really a top 25 team.

UVA wins it all this year

Protip: I don’t think it’s a smart idea to pick against Texas Tech in the first 2 rounds. They were 17-1 at home this year and will probably bring the most fans to Tulsa of any of the teams scheduled there.

Bonus protip: Iowa St over Houston in the 2nd round might be a cheeky upset pick for this same reason. Some of the TTU fans in Tulsa might be inclined to support their Big 12 buddies Iowa St as well especially against Houston, and supplemented by the fact that ISU fans are themselves also known to travel well, TTU and ISU will probably the 2 biggest benefactors of crowd support in the Tulsa region. I’d personally pick both to reach the 2nd weekend.

Except NY also put 5 schools in to the tournament, as did Texas.

The real joke is California who could only muster 2.

What is the most kino region, and why is it the West?

for me, it's Michigan and Florida State meeting in the West Region finals for the second year in a row!

who is going to be the meme team to reach the final four? there's always one

Because it’s the only region where you could probably be justified picking every match to go either way from the round of 32 and on. I guess the South is kind of like that too, but for a more repulsive reason (All the top seeds are chokers), where as in the West its just because it’s stacked with good teams.

I honestly don’t think they’ll be one this year, but I think St Mary’s or Wofford would be your best bet.

losing to Florida State - sorry mate

Redpill me on Belmont. Seems like I remember getting burned hard by Maryland in a previous tournament.

They are alright, while Mark Turgeon (MD’s HC) can’t coach, so I’m picking Belmont to win.

they have the same resume every time they make the tourney and can't win

They just beat Temple though which counts as a tournament win.

I'll do it tonight

first four games shouldn't count as a win

This.

is everyone in discord or something? why is the thread moving so slow?

cbb has been moving slow for a month, which i wouldn't think would happen during conference tourneys, but y'know.... CASUALS.

Are there even games today?

>Tennessee

pretty decent women's bracket, actually

So aside from UVA and Purdue, what other teams are complete frauds who can't be trusted to go far despite being high seeded?

Cuckfaga

Michigan isn’t getting past Texas Tech. KenPom’s season efficiency rating has people believing TTU is the more radically flawed version of the same thing Michigan is (i.e. great defense inconsistent offense), but recently it’s been Michigan who’s been the worse offender of this. Tech’s offense finally found a groove towards the latter half of the season, while Michigan’s offense has continued to struggle.

In a battle where 2 great defenses more or less cancel each other out, Tech’s offense has seemed, at least lately like the one who can more reliably score.

Tennessee obviously.

Gonzaga has made it to the sweet 16 four years in a row, and is 2nd only to Duke in terms of actual NBA talent. I don’t know why people peg them as frauds.

>we write the 79th day of the year 2019
>G*nzaga is still shit
Why are they so disgusting?

Texas Tech

LSU without a doubt.

>Are there even games today?

The last two first four in games.

I don't know... probably because the only school the media hypes up more than them over the past two decades is Duke? And least Duke is kinda justified hype, with you know... the 17 final 4's and 5 natties? Gonzaga just one final four in their history? While Gonzaga beats up on a poor conference year after year and the media treats them like a blueblood program for it. Like, Gonzaga doesn't even have the most final 4's in their conference.

michigan will lose another final check em

Final four:

LSU
Michigan
Virginia
Kentucky

You think BRCC State - St. John's is going to be a good game? Kinda worried that this one's going to be a stinker.

>LSU
>Final 4

is this a joke? They’ll be lucky to even make it to the 2nd weekend.

Real final 4:

Duke
Virginia
Gonzaga
North Carolina

Good god no
This but swap Sparty for Duke

>Gonzaga just one final four in their history?

Yeah and it happened just 2 years ago, and they were the NCAA runner-up. Literally made a Final 4 run more recently than Duke.

Your post oozes butthurt fan of a school which hasn’t done jack shit in recent history and is mad people care about recent success more than ancient titles.

One final 4. EVER. The media were sucking them off LONG BEFORE THAT. TWO DECADES OF HYPE. ONE. FINAL. 4. YEAR AFTER YEAR they get a top 4 seed for beating Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount and St. Mary's. I was watching the WCC championship game, and ESPN is just listing off Gonzaga's domination of their conference as if it's anything impressive. It's like putting UNC in the MEAC. Beating up shit teams year after year doesn't make you good. Butler didn't get even half this much knobslobbing when they went to back to back title games.

Okay that’s cool and all, but your butthurt isnt an argument as to why specifically they are “frauds”.

I literally just explained it to you. One year where you off-handedly make the title game doesn't make you not a fraud. Gonzaga will never, ever make a title game again.

Question was:
>what other teams are complete frauds who can't be trusted to go far despite being high seeded?

And what has been Gonzaga’s respective seeding and tournament results over the past 4 years?
>2015: #2 seed — lost in the elite 8
Went exactly as far as expected
>2016: #11 seed — lost in the sweet 16
Went further then expected
>2017: #1 seed — lost in the Finals
Went further than expected
>2018: #4 seed — lost in the sweet 16
Went exactly as far as expected

So how exactly do they fit the definition of frauds?

You're absolutely right.

I don't get why all the Gonzaga hate when teams like MSU and Virginia have been downright garbage in the tournament as of late.

> tfw recent Gonzaga alum
> tfw we are expected to make another title run
> tfw Syracuse is going to beat us in the second round again

If they make it passed the second round they will sail to the final four against Dookie and then a rematch against UNC

Told yall NC Central was forreal.

No way Maryland goes that far.

A championship is a pipe dream this year. However I think some people might be giving them more grief than they deserve.
This is team is not a void of a talent, but they're just so inconsistent. Sometimes they play like dog shit, sometimes they play great. If they can hit on all cylinders they make a run in the tournament, but on the same note I can see them loosing in the first or second round if they played like, ie when they played at texas tech. They need to learn how to guard the damn 3's too.

I will admit I picked them to beat Michigan St just for the sake of having an upset in my bracket, but they can pretty easily beat Belmont and LSU. Belmont isn't that good and LSU's coach is still suspended. They looked very bad in the SEC tournament.

Duke is easily the best team in this tournament and Kentucky has a super easy bracket. Their path to the Elite 8 is hilarious.

Buffalo is going to the Final Four.

I figure if either us can make it to the sweet sixteen then there is no reason why we can't make it to the final four with 'home court' advantage. It'll just hurt me less if I pick you guys to do it.
