He's essentially an NBA intern at this point.

I will never trust ESPN bracket analyzer again

I swapped out High Point and St Louis because they were, are you sure you want to do this? This looks like a dumb idea

You let something called "ESPN bracket analyzer" make your picks?

Gee, what fun!

no, but they ripped them and I changed my mind last minute

should've stuck with my pick.

It was more me joking, but you're not the type that finds humor in anything.

Kentucky/Santa Clara is a great game to kick off the day.

 

[IceBoxGopher]

CRAZY game between Kentucky and Santa Clara.

CRAZY game between Kentucky and Santa Clara.

That Santa Clara 3 pointer should do it! Nope.

 

[salzie]

crazy, Santa Clara and KY going to OT

 

[GophersInIowa]

Terrible timeout call hurt Santa Clara.

Akron within 6 of Texas Tech

 

[GophersInIowa]

Refs ruining a good game. Kentucky is getting every call down the stretch.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Note to Santa Clara - Maybe don't try and shoot 3s over a tall defender that is good at blocking shots

Should have given Santa Clara the timeout after the 3.

The clock also didn’t start on time when Kentucky inbounded the ball too. A lot went against SC.

Was definitely a wild sequence at the end of regulation. Bummer that they weren't able to pull off the upset. Real bummer was that the Santa Clara guy didn't foul before that final shot went up because with 2.4 left had they fouled immediately Kentucky would have had to try and make the first and then execute a miss on purpose for the second which is really tough to do.

Another aspect of that wild ending is a Kentucky player was calling timeout as well. And they didn’t have any left.

Alright, let’s go Hofstra

Utah State should take this one, Kevin Willard teams always choke up at tournament time. The Miami of America vs Tennessee is the one I can't wait to see.

 

[stocker08]

Tennessee is just way too big for Miami (OH). Not a good matchup.

Hoped this one was going to be good, looks like not. Talent and poaching kills the mid majors.

NIL seems to really impact upsets in March.. High point the only significant upset

VCU. A few near big upsets.

That’s right, and Texas beating BYU after not looking to good against nc state.

Paging Charlie Sheen. We found the droopy eyed children. They're Utah State fans.

Ok, I'm done being mean now.
