***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

Everybody seems to be picking USF to beat Louisville today. Usually these "trendy" upset picks don't end up happening so I'm picking Louisville.

TCU and Ohio State kick things off today, which should be a good one. Troy and Nebby after that so some really good games to start.

Ohio State is the Big Tens version of Texas Tech. Not sure what team is showing up. Actually kind of like TCU. I went with Ohio State on most of my brackets because I heard they might be healthy now. I don't actually even know who was hurt or anything.

Brown out for Louisville announced this week is a huge huge blow. 18 ppg and 5 assist per game.

Outside my brackets, I'm laying an extra $25 against Nebby, you just can't fight that kind of bad juju, they'll lose yet again. Plus, Troy is apparently a pretty decent mid-major.

Oh yeah, gotta lay extra against EIU too, LOL.

USF is sneaky good too. Won the AAC regular season and tournament

I picked three Big 12 teams in the final four, Houston, Arizona and Iowa State, with Arizona beating Houston for the crown.

Is this Bynum on OSU Omar's kid that we recruited out of Omaha?

He would have been a nice get.

 

[Clonefan32]

Might get another shot at him if Diebler gets canned.

TCU-Ohio State was difficult for me to choose.

TCU may be slightly under-seeded. Ohio State "seems" over-seeded, but has played closer to an 8 recently.

This was the hardest for me too. I wanted TCU, but went with Ohio State because I was so Big 12 heavy everywhere else.

One thing that stood out in the ISU/TCU game was how well TCU timed up their jumps to defend ISU close to the hoop and it seemed to throw ISU off a bit.

They're just pretty solid.

Iowa was similar on that timing and if I'm TSU's coach I'm looking at that.

Watching TCU and OSU, game ball must be at full psi. Ball bouncing off rim like it is a super ball.

They always over inflate in the tournament

Let's go Troy!!!

Scott Cross is a fantastic coach.

I do think Nebby gets it done today though...

There have been a lot of complaints about the ball the ncaa is using
