HokieStone Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm just happy that my Hokies were placed in the East bracket, so we can play in....San Jose, California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I recognized that our game(s - hopefully) will be in SLC, that is quite the trip for Auburn... Kind of crazy to see California chopped up between St Mary’s, UC Irvine, and Nevada. None of the big schools you’d expect to see. No PAC 12 from California in the tournament. Wonder if that has ever happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I filled out my bracket last night only to learn that my school was in the Duke division, and that even if we win the first game, we get Michigan State in the second round. Looks like it will be a short dance. Damn you Bobby Jackson for getting my hopes up as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm skeptical of that. Marquette was falling apart at the end of the year, losing 5 of their last six games, including against tournament no shows like Georgetown and Creighton. In contrast, Auburn has been playing really well of late. I agree it looks like a bad matchup, but don't sell yourself short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get off Thursday night. Hate being at work on that first Thursday but have had to deal with being at work both days in years past, so I can't complain too much now. I usually try to take off both days if I can, but I've got a work obligation I can't avoid on Thursday. Thank goodness my team doesn't play until Friday morning. I'll be working from home that day (yes, legit working, except from roughly 11:40 - 2:00 PM central). Basketball isn't my favorite sport overall, but this weekend is my favorite sporting event every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it looks like a bad matchup, but don't sell yourself short. i share bronn's distaste for a really fucking terrible draw but we are playing some good basketball right now. If we come out of this bracket then everyone will want to play for pearl but we won't. What we have done is get there for two years in a row; which is basically unheard of. and that is something i can be happy with; feel optimistic about. Wiley HAS to come back another year and other players are doing so out of the new GP. there is a HUGE place for role players in the NBA. its gotten that close. that is exactly what 4th and 5th year seniors provide. its a thing, IMO, and we are gonna be loaded with them next year. GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ded As Ned Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The Sons of Ned have filled out their brackets for a 2nd year... they've gotten better but some of their choices are.... entertaining. News out that Kentucky will be without PJ Washington for today's game (and hopefully ONLY for today's game!) ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well, I got Minnesota over Louisville right; so that's a good start. My bracket will never look so good again; especially if FSU shits the bed against Vermont. However, brackets mean nothing; upsets are everything.

KingintheNorth4 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Last year, I had started with 14 correct picks. Let's see if I can break my record this year. LSU and Minnesota won, so I'm 2 for 2 so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
