All is right in the world. Nothing better than seeing Purdue going down to a 16 seed. :)
 
We are at a little bar in the springs getting ready for the Jayhawks game. Arkansas is really athletic, won’t place any bets on this one

Sadly we are a family of Wake Forest, UNC and NC State alumni. I did become a Furman University fan for a short time this week. Their chant at games is FU today, FU everyday! March madness never disappoints, alway some upsets and just great basketball.
 
No number 1 seeds left, what a strange tournament
Parity has come to college basketball? Really weird given the transfer portal and NIL money -- nobody able to load up so far. Seems like the free transfers are helping to even things out.
 
Go Aztecs!!! That’s San Diego State in case you were wondering…
 
Great game last night - FAU, FAU, FAU!

UConn/Gonzaga was a great game too, until it wasn’t. Gonzaga couldn’t buy a 3 pointer!

Is it just me, or is the 3 pt shooting a bit too much. I know its hard to do all the work to get 2, when the other team is dropping 3’s, but the 3’s just weren’t coming for Gonzaga. I guess its more exciting to watch home runs, than bunting a guy to second.

The problem is teams rely only on the 3’s and when they can’t hit them, they suck because they cannot work the ball inside. Used to be Teams would work the ball in and maybe take the outside shot, now it’s run and gun for the 3.
 
I lost interest in college basketball shortly after they started using the shot clock and 3 pt. Yeah some of the slow down games were hard to watch but it kept it interesting. I've hated the 3 pt shot from the get go. So it's been close to 40 years now that I've had any interest in college hoops. Same for the pros with the 3 pt.
