My McNeese St to the S16 prediction is looking pretty good right now.

 

[BTChamp]

The good thing about picking a program like Kentucky to go to the Final Four is I’m happy either way if they win or lose.

Luckily, since I might have the worst bracket ever, I only have Kentucky into next round and losing to Texas tech. South Carolina really screwed me.

So, do we try and hire Calipari after he inevitably gets fired for this horrendous failure?

Nope

Lots of people are in that boat

Another March, another Cal early exit lol

 

[Gold Vision]

Gohlke looks like he’s 35 with that hairline.

Coach Calipari to MN. You heard it here first. Kentucky is a Minnesota coaching pipeline.

Edit: you heard it here second.

With Rick Pitino riding back into Lexington on his white thoroughbred to finish his career and complete the circle.

How in the world is reed sheppard even draftable a 6’3 177 pound shooting guard. He’s going to guard Anthony edwards? 6’5 235

How are any of these guys? Wagner and Bradshaw were the top recruits and contribute nothing.

Give me someone a year or two older who has produced in tough moments, unless it’s a Euro prospect.

He's sleazy as hell, but sleaze is now good. So sure.

Then Texas Tech after he leads us to a Final Four. And finally UMass. Accept your fate Cal.

$33M buyout for Calipari on his Lifetime contract. Yikes.

We were sold a huge ass bill of goods on them.

Even Texas A&M and Nebraska think that's a lot.

A “lifetime” contract with a buyout clause doesn’t really live up to its essence.

It's always a great temptation to pick an upset but the trouble is that you never know where the upsets are going to come.

These post pandemic years with the optional 5th season really have shown us the advantages of maturity.

Our really "down" conference somehow is 5-0 in the two postseason tournaments so far.

The dissolving Pac 12 has done well too.

That should mean Ben’s Wins we’re undervalued by our analytic crew

 

[WindyCityGopher]

I didn’t know Kerwin Walton transferred from UNC to Texas Tech. He really hasn’t done much with his college career.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

D J Burns #30 on NC State is listed at 275 lbs?

I would pay money to watch him and Dainja play a game of one-on-one.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Tech and State only used 7 players each in the first half.

A little Tommy Boy reference

They can go out to lunch during timeouts. No need for breathers.
