2019 NCAA Tournament

[CameronBornAndBred]

It's here!!! Crossing fingers Duke gets a trip to DC. Hoping the Wuffies get to dance, too, but I'm not optimistic. Lots of bubbles got burst with upset wins in various tournaments. (The Gaels don't mind that.)
If NCSU and/or Clemson actually do get in, you can bet they'll be playing their way in once again.
Also, while I hope they lose their first game, I wouldn't mind seeing the Cheaters get a one seed, just because that would be some pretty cool bragging rights for the ACC. They can become the second team to lose to a 16.

WTF is up with three ACC teams in our region? Unless 11 other conference teams get seeded, that's some BS.

GO IONA!!!

Didn't Jimmy Valvano coach at Iona? May his spirit guide the team to take out the tar heels.

Yes, he did.

Go Jimmy's Ghost!

If the team plays defense the way we did against FSU, we will be hard to beat. I'm okay with MSU as our brackets #2 seed as they play a slower tempo. to beat us, a team is going to have to be uptempo.

[CameronBornAndBred]

I got my brackets in, and I don't like them. I'm sure I'll be busted by this afternoon.
I filled out two, each slightly different. Both of them have Duke beating UVA (again) for the championship.

My bracket got busted in game 1 when Louisville lost. And then Maryland won and Syracuse lost. Ugh. LGD GTHc!

[Ima Facultiwyfe]

I think I listened too much to Bilas. (When will I learn?) My bracket is in the toilet already!
GTHCGTH!!!!!!! Go DUKE!
Love, Ima

Accurate representation of my bracket.

Accurate representation of my bracket.

Mine resembles that remark. As long as I have the last one right!

After two days of round one, I got 23 of 32 right. The left side of the bracket looks a lot worse with 7 wrong, the right side has 2 wrong. Syracuse and Louisville, along with Arizona State let me down. But as long as Duke keeps winning, I'm all

Joy is 24-8 so far and I'm at a pretty mediocre 21-11. Both of us have Duke winning the final game with my bracket over UVa and hers over the cheating, lying fockers from Orange County.

I was pulling for Bobby. The ACC teams have not done me any favors. (If Carolina tanks, I won't complain.)
Maryland almost put another hole in my sheet of swiss cheese. Whew.

FSU looked very good in their win over Murray State yesterday. Terance Mann was a man possessed. He played an outstanding game.

Four ACC teams in action today:

5:15 Duke vs UCF on CBS

2:40 UNC vs. Washington on CBS
7:10 Virginia Tech vs Liberty on TBS
7:45 Virginia vs Oklahoma on TruTV

It is not beyond the realm of possibility that five ACC teams head to the Sweet 16.

Five ACC teams in the Sweet 16.
