Trying it!

It's nice being able to circumvent commercials.

I'll likely go full screen for the last part of Duquesne-BYU, then maybe Zips/Jays if it stays this way.

I don't care what the metrics say, Creighton and BYU are not brimming with defensive athletes that can just lock you down.

These small schools used to lack in bodies, now it's more a lack of consistent skill. But on a hot streak, that's kind of irrelavant. It shows up long term, but short term they are probably make shots and probably playing solid connected ball.

Creighton and BYU, though solid on paper, struggle to just say enough is enough and LOCK you down.

I feel good about the way we play for this reason.

This is spot on.

With that said, I hope our guys are watching Duquesne dismantle BYU as a reminder that everyone playing now is good (sorry Virgnia)

Both BYU and Illinois getting upset would be perfect.

I'm a fan of More head today

BYU might be overrated but Creighton look good. Akron is playing well. Not sure how long they can keep this up.

I love Creighton, but I don't think they are on the same PLANET physically with ISU and Houston or Tennesse and Auburn from a defensive athletic standpoint.

Heads up to you YTTV users. They recently added a feature where you can build your own 4 box. When you choose the channel and it asks you if you want to join live, catch up, whatever....choose watch in multiview.

People need to realize Mississippi State was overseeded.

I'm pretty sure I read that they've never won in the tourney.

And UNC is also over seeded IMO. I picked Izzo to make another S16. MSU usually get favorable draws for the tournament, This year was no exception.

If we go down, we're going down on that ship together. It pains me to pick against UNC because I like their name, my tried and true method. But it breaks another cardinal rule of "always pick MSU and KU to go one round further than you want".

Remember every team that isn’t in the Big12 is over seeded or doesn’t belong in the tourney lol

I hate Izzo so much. Every year I pick against him he screws me. Every year I pick them, he screws me.

Feels like it’s some people’s first tournament lol

 

[bosco]

We are cheering for upset before our game right? Isn't there a thing about so many upsets occur on the first day?

Me, too.
I also shopped for TVs I couldn't justify, because why not get stupid?

 

[cowgirl836]

all right, one game in and all my brackets remain perfect. let's close it down now. don't need to continue. cause it's about to drop to 50% in all my brackets

I like Big 12 but there are good teams in other conferences.

Are you married? Because if so, More head has had at least one hater for a very long time

 

[Clonedogg]

I don't want Big12 to lose but don't want to face a hot BYU either.

Hahaha obv just pointing out how often people have been saying teams are over seeded or didn’t belong.

 

[J Mast]

Just wondering, is there another team in the tourney with more punchable faces than BYU? Man, I really hope the Dukes pull this off.
