Committee did their job.  Even if it fucked my bracket, one of the better Day 1 ever.

The weird thing is all their teams were solid, none great. Purdue with the only real shot at FF. Iowa and Wisconsin had a decent shot at S16/E8. But the rest were always gonna be overperforming to advance past this weekend.

That's fair.  I just don't think that justifies NINE (or 8, if we split hairs) bids.  Akron kind of sucked, but damn if they didn't represent.  MAC should have gotten 2 tickets.  I'm just so beyond tired of seeing shitty big conference teams get bids at the expense of more deserving mid-majors.

OSU/Loyola should be a good one. Matchup pretty evenly with each other.

Buckeyes need to not wither down the stretch like they have several times lately.

CSU/Mich was an awesome game. So was Iowa/Richmond!

Sort of. Not competitive at end. 

It's been another boring day. Miami USC was exciting finally. 

Favorites are killing it too.

Most matchups sound meh and the games haven’t been very good or exciting.

Carolina looks pretty determined to bust my bracket. I took Baylor deep even though many advised not too.

This game has been hard to watch. Officiating has been blah. And I’m a Duke fan.

In the last 2 minutes Baylor has had 3 bad possessions with no points. We will see if UNC can handle the press and make FTs down the stretch.

These first two games can completely break my bracket. My best bracket (I think) had Kansas in championship and Baylor Final 4


But I never care if Kansas loses

I picked a lot of the wrong upsets!  But that's how it is.  Seems like most of the games this year have been closer than ever, even if lacking in buzzer beaters.

Haven't done an analysis, but really competitive games so far.  And today already have UNC beating Baylor, which is not shocking, but Creighton giving Kansas a game, too.

My pool at school has 38 entries….most are 21-23 of first 32. I had 25 but a 60 year old aide who doesn’t watch got 28 of 32 🤦🏻‍♂️
