My bracket boring af so far...all 1 & 2 seeds in elite 8.

I need to work back through it an find some better upsets.

Michigan is either losing early or making the elite 8.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

whoever decided to put Louisville in Lexington to start the tournament got a burning desire to see Auburn lose because a team ranked that low should not be essentially getting a home game.

I haven't really paid attention to the locations yet, but that's crazy. I was hoping the Zags would've been the 8th seed in Auburn's bracket just to see Ike vs Broome

I'm tired of people acting like Mike Anderson left St John's down bad.

Rick didn't take over a dead program.

Very, VERY friendly run to the Elite 8.

On the other side, Auburn's lost 3 of 4 and has to play either Louisville or Creighton in the round of 32. NOT FUN.

Yea idk much about St Mary’s but we better not lose to a bunch of white kids. We just have to not beat ourselves.

Auburn got a tough draw for sure, wouldn’t be surprised to see them knocked out early like last year

Most of their production is coming from transfers that Pitino brought in.

Yeah no doubt Pitino is an all time great but the owner of Bodyarmor basically gave him a blank check to get the guys he needs in the transfer portal
