NCAA Tournament Open Thread

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Best time of the year. I'll be sitting on my ass for the better part of 12 hours today so I figured I'd start a thread if any others are doing the same.

Here's to a perfect bracket.

[NickelDimer]

Right there with you. Took the next two days off work with no obligation other than watching hoops. Best sports time of the year.

But I'll gladly exchange a perfect bracket for a Warrior run!

[GoldenEagle323]

Best 4 days of basketball especially with our warriors playing! GO MARQUETTE

[#UnleashSean]

45 more minutes of work and my last client is "cancelled"

[RushmoreAcademy]

Absolutely.  Greatest sports weekend of the year with no close second.   It's a beautiful thing!

[MU82]

A 10-seed (Minnesota) getting almost a home game (Des Moines).

Maybe not quite as egregious as 7-seed (S. Carolina) actually getting a home game in 2017, but right up there.

Man, nothing better than when the CBS college basketball music hits at 11am. The benefits of having a job where you work out of a home office comes through strong today. Texted my wife "don't ask me for anything until Monday".

Except when you`re on the west coast and it starts at 9am!!!

Been out west two of the last three tournaments.  Certainly makes those 10pm east coast tip times more palatable!!

Amir looking good.

Couldn''t agree with you more, Brother Dish.

Working from Southern Command in Florida today until it's WARRIOR TIME!!!

Southern Command goes dark at 16:30 eastern.

I'll trade you! Those after 10 pm starts are brutal for this old fart.

That is a regular request from my wife to me.

They* say that the tournament doesn't officially start until you miss a pick on your bracket.  It's looking like Minnesota might be getting it started early for me.


*And by "they," I mean me.  I said that.  I made that up.  Just now.

Me too although Murphy being hurt could change this game

[HowardsWorld]

Minnesota just thrashing Louisville now. Up 16 with 10 to go. Game is over.

I've watched the Gophers 3-4 times this year on tv, I haven't seen them shoot like this at all, totally different team today.

It's' the Pitino Revenge Tour's first stop!

Yeah this is a very unpredictable game right now

[Dish]

Yale making a run.

Go Vermont!

[HowardsWorld]

Florida states lengeth is killing Vermont right now. 3rd jump ball in the first 5 minutes.

[Oldgym]

Critical UL 3-pointer being reviewed against shot clock vs. Minn.  Every bit as close as Sam's vs. Creighton.

[Dish]

Early still, but FSU looks like they're asleep, especially on offense.

[NickelDimer]

Offense has been their problem

Not a fan of our broadcast team.
