Offical NCAA Tournament thread

Baylor started out patient offensively. They are starting to jack up the the first open look which was my main concern.

[Badgerhater]

Baylor's Bear was a gift to the school from a Wisconsin National Guard unit training in Waco for WWI.  It was the unit's mascot and they had to find a home before the unit shipped out.

That is all the connection I need to be a Baylor Bears fan today.

Davison pushes off constantly with his off arm. 

[rocky_warrior]

Wisconsin will win this game.

Yeah.  No.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

That was awesome

Houston is gonna be tough for Loyola. OK state is very much beatable. Hell, Marquette had a chance this year.

Everyone counting out Rutgers!

With about 3 minutes to go and with Illinois down 11, Raftery noted that the Illini had bad body language and "forlorn looks on their faces."

Any of us would take Underwood as a coach. Any of us. But sometimes, teams get beaten down by adversity. It happens, even to fine teams run by outstanding coaches.

I have them in my Sweet 16, for better or worse. (Probably worse.) My bracket is sufferin'!

I can't decide which repetitive ad I hate most, but there are an unusual number of them to choose from this year.

[BM1090]

Yeah.  No.

Just preparing myself for the worst! 

Baylor, when engaged defensively, is probably the best team in the country.

True dat.

That creepy singing hood ornament is a #1 seed.

The Vanilla Orange coke doesn't taste like a basketball but has something orange and round in it. It isn't as annoying as some of the others but it has to be the worst.

Scoop, there it is.  Advertising slots were cheap.  We just had to hand over a few Arbys coupons.

[MuggsyB]

They should just play the Dikembe ad on a loop.

The Pinocchio ad and the Wolfgirl/Satyr(?) ad.

Ugh...picking a side between Baylor and Wisconsin is like choosing if you'd rather have gonorrhea or herpes. I guess I'll hold my nose and pull for Baylor for my bracket's sake.

I think we all know when it comes to the tournament, people "root" for teams that they hate just to help their bracket.   No disclaimer required.  At least, hopefully nobody thinks I'm a giant Baylor fan.  hah.

Boat. Raced.

[MuggsyB]

Baylor just let them back in the game.  WTF?  Gotta convert easy interior shots.

[BM1090]

Boat. Raced.

Lots of time and Wisconsin on a run. If some 3s start falling it gets interesting.

[rocky_warrior]

I'm not sure I've ever seen so many guys fall/kneel down while dribbling as I have in this tournament.  Floors? odd.

[BM1090]

Wisconsin has been by far the better team this half. It is a game. Danger zone.

Can't believe how many 1-4 footers Baylor has missed. Just missed 2 FTs too. Effen Madison.
