NCAA college basketball tournament thread - discuss teams, match-ups, brackets and whatever.

Register and it prompts you to enter to win a 10,000k best buy gift card, there's other things you can join I think too for money or prizes although I haven't explored it too much, all free obviously.. even if you're not into college basketball, think of it as a free lotto ticket since it's tough to predict these games. The match-ups are looking really good this year though, people should give it a watch.

I've already made 4 brackets(there's probably a limit), but you can't share them until after it starts. I'll post some mine when it allows me though.

I've also made a personal group for the ts community, search "tsq2" and it'll come up. I allowed up to 2 entries per person.

I think UNC has the edge but it would be in kansas city apparently so, we'll see.

another good early possible 2nd round match-up is #8 NCstate v. #1 Indiana.. an upset possibility for sure. imo #2 Miami has the edge on whoever wins that match though. #2 Duke exposing #1 Louisville like they did earlier this year(except now they have crucial player back ryan kelly) wouldn't be too far-fetched either, same with #2 Ohio State > #1 Gonzaga... if that were to setup like that.

the acc got screwed with seeding, NC has more teams invited than the ACC, lol(Davidson and NC AT&T in addition to unc/duke/ncstate).

Just a friendly reminder that the championship game will be played today @ 9:23PM EST.

As for the brackets, I'm currently ranked #1 but I cannot earn anymore points. If Louisville wins then adrenaline wins this bracket tournament, and I'm very positive that Louisville will win. I think though it is quite awkward that I will be rooting for my second favorite team in the NCAA to lose. ;>

Louisville wins, just as I thought. Best game in the season. What a thriller that game was.

Also, lol @ my score prediction for the championship game. When I first guessed it, I thought it was too high for a college game:

predicted: 83 Kansas  :  76 Louisville
actual: 82 Louisville : 76 Michigan

Not bad. ;>
