2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

One of Alabama/Clemson will be in the Final Four.  Wow.

[BLWarrior91]

Great win for Alabama.  Only their second E8 ever.

Is there a more useless stat than the ESPN win probability?  With 90 seconds to go, UNC had a 67% chance of winning.

Illinois-Iowa State is some ugly basketball

“I’m shocked Carolina was the first #1 seed to lose.” - No one

Love it, Dish. 

[SoCalEagle]

Looks like 3 out of 4 lower seeds with victories tonight.

Milan with a night to forget

Ouch. That was a big TO.

[jesmu84]

Good thing that trial was delayed

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

That Nelson guy is pretty good.

[88Warrior]

IL has one guard. That was one ugly game.

Terrence Shannon Jr's play reminds me of DWade. Smooth and aggressive.

Though he carries some heavy baggage. It would be hard for me to be and Illini fan.

[DoctorV]

Those late games were awesome tonight, fun to watch.

Gonna be hard to sleep tonight

[MuggsyB]

Very surprised with Clemson.  Not so much with Bama and Illinois.

True dat Dr V.  We must drop a gargantuan 🔨 tomorrow. 

[Tyler COLEk]

UNC continues to be my choice to win The Tournament . Bacot and RJ are talented and experienced and their role players are solid

Condolences on the bracket, Hermie.

[Plaque Lives Matter!]

Good thing that trial was delayed

Nothing to see here!

[Uncle Rico]

Condolences on the bracket, Hermie.

As soon as I saw Herm pick them, I eliminated them as a legit threat to win it all

What's useless about that? They had a 3-point lead with 90 seconds to play. Honestly, I'd think the percentage would be higher that a team leading by three in that situation would win the game.

North Carolina looks like a national title contender.

Oops!!!

[wadesworld]

People who think Caleb Love is a All American are legit mental patients

Why do you talk like this?

[lawdog77]

Why do you talk like this?

At least he didn't use the R word

[PGsHeroes32]

Why do you talk like this?

Uhh because it’s an insane take?

And we got 4 years of data

[MU82]

UNC was up 1 with about a minute left when Jae’Lyn Withers - for absolutely no good reason - pulled up from 22 for an early-clock 3 attempt. The ball clanged off the iron and was easily corraled by a Bama player (because UNC had nobody within the same zip code to rebound). Bama went down and got the ball to Grant Nelson, who scored as he was being fouled by ... Withers. The 3-point play put Bama ahead to stay.

Not sure if Withers is the goat of the tournament, but he's in the group photo.

Easter weekend, will Jesus' return to the land of the living help out the remaining Jesuit schools? I'm rooting for Creighton, Marquette, and Gonzaga to make some noise this weekend and make the pope proud.
