NCAA Tourney 2022

My ten second impression: really, really, really bummed VT and AZ are not in the same region. VT’s three point shooting is the perfect weapon for Az’s twin towers.

My less than ten second impression? My bracket's probably gonna be busted at the conclusion of round 1.

I think I am too invested in my team actually being a favorite to partake in any brackets this year. I think winning the Pac-12 Tourney without Kerr will hopefully pay dividends if he is ready for at least the Sunday game next week.

Coach K is a nice guy I'm sure but I am hoping his storied career ends with a whimper. Otherwise I'm hoping to get long looks at all the draft favorites.

Murray just tried to tackle his man on a pivot move. Not sure what kind of defense that is. Certainly wouldn't work in the pros.

It'll be interesting to see if my eye test is validated, but I was never impressed with any Big Ten teams this year. The level of play looked really mediocre. We'll see if the Big 10's record in the tourney validates this (or not).

Murray just scored two straight buckets by backing down his man, pivoting, jumping into him, and going off the back board. Clutch. I don't think that would work in the pros though.

Well, if Gonzaga goes down, that would pretty much seal my fate, as I have them winning it all.
I got my Bruins beating the Zags in the final four. So the Zags losing in round 1 would hurt for me too. Though I suspect 99% of the world has the Zags making it to the final four, so everyone loses equally.

Got duped into putting Iowa in the Final Four by their Big 10 Tourney championship.

Between them losing and Marquette currently getting curb stomped by North Carolina, it's been a rough start for my bracket lol

Lolzzz. Sorry, man.

Tourney time is nutz. One of my all time fave tournies was 2013 when Florida Gulf Coast had its crazy run. I was in Tahoe for the opening weekend and Vegas for the sweet 16. One of the best times of my life during those weekends. Ahh, pre-dad life. Lolzzz.

I haven't watched a game since I've been in a weird room all day and now I have to go to work tomorrow morning because one student failed their test. 1 in 70 friggin persons is the difference between me in my jammies watching hoops all day from home and me having to wake up at 6:30 and get dressed. If I miss the Arizona game I'll punch someone...

Well it seems like you at least know the right person to punch. :)
