I'm not sure you understand what a Cinderella is, either. You know how many teams have been in the elite eight all three of the last three seasons? One. It's Florida.

My bad. When I was said Cinderella, I was referring to SFA/Tulsa, not Florida. Florida is in NO way a Cinderella team, I should have been more clear in my writing.

You're right! I just looked at their schedule and they've grown into a .400 club for the month of March. That's tremendous progress - and since they lost their last game, they're due for a win before they lose again if the pattern holds. If that's what qualifies as "massive growth" I'd personally recommend seeing a physician to have that cut off.

I don't know if you watch Kansas basketball, but I've seen many of their games this season. Comparing the way they played at the start of the season to the end of conference play, their chemistry growth is off the charts. They struggled without Embiid at the end, especially against Iowa State and George Niang, but overall they've learned to play as a team, and I legitimately think they can contend once Embiid is healthy.

I don't claim to be a basketball or NCAA basketball expert, but my friendly advice is to learn that the game continues to be played even outside of Kansas and maybe check your facts before you speak out of turn.

I'm sorry but this advice seems anything but friendly to me. I fail to see how I "spoke out of turn" in a public forum, and I don't understand how my little fantasy there offended you. I never denied that Florida was a bad team, and certainly didn't intend to disrespect them, or you.

Seems like Ohio State finds a way to underachieve every 2-3 years. Brutus sure does love living up to his mythical name.

That comment was directly related to the Cinderella thing, as it seemed that you were referring to Florida as a Cinderella and also had said something to the effect of that it was given that Stephen F Austin or Tulsa was beating them. I've since seen that you were more responding to EBW's post there, but it was that combination of things that made me think you were taking the whole "the SEC's weak so Florida's overrated" concept to a ridiculous extreme. As it is now clear that I either misunderstood what you were saying or you said something you didn't intend, it's no harm no foul on my end. But that still was the friendly version of my advice; after all, I didn't invent a hrudey special madlib to refer to you as, using the template:

Haha alright, all's well.

How's everyone's bracket looking? I'm perfect so far, provided UConn pulls this one out! :D

My billion dollar bracket held on all the way until the end of the first game. I are genius!

Well, I got to 10/10, but missed SLU over NC State and NDSU over Oklahoma. Still better than 96.4% of people though!

I'm 10/13 right now, missing the Harvard game, NDSU game and Texas Arizona State game.

Anyone else not impressed with Florida's 12 point win over a 16 seed?

It was a pretty lackluster game from Florida - Albany hit 10 of their first 15 and only made then 10 of their last 26. Five guys in double figures but the offense really never got going efficiently for the most part. It's a shame that the Gators are going to be voted out of the tournament on style points after this.

Born in North Dakota and live in Oklahoma and all i can say is DAD GUM NDSU. So much for my bracket. I've got Iowa State winning it all though and my final 4 picks are still all alive so far though. I was flying high picking both Harvard and Dayton earlier in the day though.

In the 5 pools I'm in I'm 11/16 in one and 12/16 in the others. None of my misses we're going to the Sweet 16 so I'd say I'm ok so far. Hopefully Day 2 can provide a couple less mistakes on my part!

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.
