[NCAAB] 2025 March Madness Thread

All three of those are freshmen though. Experience does matter. I wouldn't put money on Duke against Alabama, for what it's worth.

True but one of them was beating USA Olympians in practice this summer. Anything can happen in single elimination so we will see.

 

[iowamcnabb]

It’s too bad they are facing each other next, would make a killer championship game.

Welcome to the NBA, Danny Wolf!

With Houston holding a 10-point lead over Purdue, we are 8 minutes away from having zero seed upsets in the entire Sweet Sixteen round

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

That Houston-Purdue game was, for the most part, UGLY. But, the play that was drawn out to win the game was MONEY.

 

[Tetsujin]

My Houston for the chip pick looked a little iffy there but the bracket persists!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Welcome to the NBA, JT Toppin and Darrion Williams!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

You can't come back from 18 down with under a minute left, so Welcome to the NBA, Labaron Philon!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Are we on our way to 4 number one seeds in the final 4?

I'll take Tennessee over Houston to keep that from happening.

Of course, I would also have taken Alabama over Duke so grain of salt and all that.

Obviously one should not take my thoughts into account, as they seem to turn out not only wrong but spectacularly so. Welcome to the NBA, Chaz Lanier!

 

[Löwenherz]

Yay, the chalkiest Final Four since 2008 because clearly this year has outlawed joy.

 

[Tetsujin]

The guy at the office with the most default ass bracket about to win his pool this year lol

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Welcome to the NBA, Jase Richardson!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Welcome to the NBA, Johni Broome!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Is Duke really going to choke this away?

 

[Kingz19]

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Welcome to the NBA, Khaman Maluach, Kon Knueppel, and Tyrese Proctor!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And a very special welcome to the NBA and congratulations on being the #1 overall pick to Cooper Flagg!

 

[iowamcnabb]

That was a Kings level choke job by Duke

 

[pdxKingsFan]

CBS coverage sucks showing me 30 replays of the airball from every angle when all I want to see is Duke players and fans crying.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I came up for dinner and watched last 3 mins on my ipad now back in my cave and YTTV had it at 3 mins with Duke up 9. lol.

LOEFFINGL.

 

[iowamcnabb]

One field goal in the last 10 plus minutes is diabolical. I don’t like Duke but I feel bad for those kids. Insane

 

[PurpleHaze]

Florida favored -1.5 at this point over Houston for the National Championship. Well, oddsmakers had Duke favored -4.5 over them boys from H-Town. Gators about to be roasted Monday night.

I don't.

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’ll be rooting for Houston to win but only because I want Jo Jo Tugler to declare for the draft and be on the board for the kings in the second round.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'm rooting for Houston because F the SEC and up the Big-12.

Also I sorta like Kelvin Sampson.

 

[Kingz19]

definitely a project but I read he has a 7’6 wingspan. He’ll probably go before 41 just for that

yeh it’s hard to know how teams will feel given the lack of offense. I’m hoping for him or Toohey, most of the other guys I like are either returning to school or will go in the first.

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Florida-Houston will be a fun one, and should be a very exciting one as well. I have the Gators winning it all in the only pool that I really care about at this point, so yeah, let's go Gators!!!
