***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

Miami has that small team but highly successful swagger. SMU is no good, but I’d definitely rather see more Miamis get in than more SMUs

That vibe of Enfield at FGCU

 

[isufbcurt]

SMU has a couple nice athletic players

 

[Cyched]

Miami was never going to lose in front of that “home” crowd and the chip on their shoulder.

 

[bozclone]

Miami is playing good tonight. Better than the other two games I watch them play

 

[Jeffreyisu]

Not impressed with Miami at all. I think Tennessee rolls them.

 

[CloniesForLife]

This Miami win is what makes the tourney so great and why so many casuals love March Madness.

 

[Cardinal2001]

we're back to 1:50 now? central?

 

[danvillecyclone]

Teams that shoot a lot of threes and shoot them well. Very dangerous.

Tough to beat 16 of them.

Against anyone.

That's been the schedule the whole time.

[ClonesTwenty1]

Im pretty sure CW and Hassel mistakenly said 1:30 on their pod Monday.

Bruce Pearl still complaining.

 

[FerShizzle]

Today’s the day! Start of the best 4 day stretch in sports.

 

[madguy30]

Im pretty sure CW and Hassel mistakenly said 1:30 on their pod Monday.

I've only seen bits of their show but information is not something I would seek out from them.

Good for watching a podcast that feels like two people at the bar who pay a lot of attention to their teams' rivals.

 

[cyclones500]

2013?

That should 1-1 my math was sloppy. Ran through it quickly.

 

[FerShizzle]

Dude knows his basketball.

 

[ScottyP]

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.

 

[Drew0311]

I always listen to to many people and they start building up certain teams, then I go to fill out my bracket and totally suck. I start selling myself on certain teams like Miami and a few others, they always flame out.
