MrM Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I really don't have a dog in this race. I'm so stereotypically gay that I don't even know who's playing or why, but I thought I'd take a census as to who is watching, what teams, and why. Happy Sprunged Spring Edited March 20, 2015 by MrM
Site Administrator Valkyrie Posted March 20, 2015 Site Administrator Posted March 20, 2015 I don't really follow sports, but the UB (University at Buffalo) Bulls have made it for the first time in their history, so I'm rooting for them, even if I don't expect them to go far.
JamesSavik Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Kentucky is the favorite. They are a strong team in a relatively weak field. It wouldn't surprise me if this year one of the small college basketball powers made a lot of noise like Xavier or Butler. They always end up with very competitive teams for their size.
Site Administrator Valkyrie Posted March 20, 2015 Site Administrator Posted March 20, 2015 Damn. UB lost their first game. At least it was close. I suppose I shouldn't expect anything less from a Buffalo team. lol
Carlos Hazday Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Watching 'cause I enjoy the game, the athletes are hot and college ball can really surprise you at times. In 1992 Duke beat Kentucky (not in the final game) with a last second basket by Christian Laettner. I still get goosebumps when I watch a replay of that moment. Those are the moments that make watching the tournament worth it.
Krista Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) That was before I was at all interested in sports and I hate Christian Laettner for it. I am of course watching, Kentucky. If Wisconsin, Virginia, Butler, or Gonzaga win it all I won't be upset. I like all those teams and they all seem to have classy coaches that don't look or act like used car salesmen. The State of Texas bombed.. absolutely bombed.. and I love it. The Big 12 - who the committee apparently thought was a dominating conference was nearly swept completely out of the tournament... Iowa State owes me a new Bracket. Bad calls at the end of games that decide the outcome - suck. What's the monitor for if you're going to still get it completely wrong... I like upsets. These little bitty schools in these non-talked about conferences really playing hard. And, in the future, I'd hate to be a 3 or a 4 Seed in the tournament.. the last two years.. those seeds have been in a lot of trouble.. they may even have a losing record the past few tournaments..

Krista Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Tis that time of year again! Already some nice upsets to break a lot of brackets! I've never been a fan of Baylor, so I'm glad to see them bite it. Surprised Purdue didn't show a lot of toughness during their game though. They played Michigan State so hard. So far the PAC 12 looks a little bit weak, maybe they'll turn it around.
