More interested in the women's tourney this year, as neither of the schools I attended will be playing in the men's. Not a good year for the dudes. But our ladies could do some damage!

Best game I've seen so far was the Penn- Yale Ivy League championship game Some guy for Penn had 44 points and won in OT.

March Madness is the best sporting event of the year. My absolute favorite.
Love both men's and women's
Always pick brackets. Never do that well because I like picking upsets too much
I like uconn women to repeat
Men is tougher call. Duke looks the best but is too injured. The 2 seeds all look dangerous to win it all

I stand by what I always say irregardless of sport...talent is far less important than moral stature. There will ALWAYS be someone as good as you or better. Teams know when their players are selling drugs....they choose to pretend differently. They choose to turn a blind eye. Now they pretend to walk the higher moral ground...kicking him off the team...out of school...when the reality is he was always that way. Why did you let him represent your school in the first place? As a recovering addict...clean 39 years...I have zero sympathy for him.

The championship week and the men’s and women’s tournament are amazing TV.
Hands-down, the best sporting event of the year. Men’s east bracket looks pretty tough, there could be some upsets here.
They stack the brackets now so that they’re much more predictable, which is too bad.
Absolutely loved the year when St. Peter’s made it to the elite eight.

I play the bracket game at the office. I know nothing about basketball. I tend to pick my teams based on mascot, team name (is there a more fun name than Gonzaga?), colors, or general vibe.
A couple of years ago, I won the office game.
I still can't believe my strategy worked. Neither could my co-workers.
I've got my bracket filled out again this year...

The school I attended is playing and so is the school my son attended. We have a friendly bet going.

Good luck….Ive always thought that the mascot for Howard should be a duck. Howard the Ducks.

I used to run pools for dozens, but now am a casual observer. Just submitted a largely uneducated bracket for the men and will try to get the family.to watch some of the first two rounds this week.
Best sports weekend of the year, imo.

Always wondered about that….the 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 teams are rewarded for being ranked below the 11’s.

I don't have a dog in the fight this year, but I'm still taking tomorrow off to watch the first full day of games anyway. It's nice to have a flexible schedule.

I have always guessed that the first four had to be two games of the actual last four ranked teams (automatic bid winners, 16 seeds) and two games of the four lowest rated at large teams (which usually end up being 11 or 12 seeds).Always wondered about that….the 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 teams are rewarded for being ranked below the 11’s.

I fully agree.
Oats is a pretty vile human being and coach.
Players delivering guns to murder scenes and selling drugs and playing illegally after they have no eligibility left - it's always something with him.
