Link: 2025 ESPN Bracketology - March Madness brackets announced

[Bazza]

All 4 ESPN experts all picked Florida but they also picked 1 vs 2 in every elite 8 except 1. Like go out on a limp a little.

Oh great.....

The two seed in our region is MSU. That’s not bad.

Don't sleep on Coach Izzo

Tom Izzo is the best Coach that never came to Alabama! I remember when people wanted him after CMG got fired. He's the like the Ashley Wilkes of Alabama Basketball Fans.

That being said, I think the game has passed him by.

At a certain point you just have to pick your poison. Better them than Bama or Tennessee or St. John’s.

Better take half day Friday. 12:40 vs Robert Morris.

I always work a half day on Fridays. This works out pretty well for me.

Fortunately it’s my rotating off Friday. Option of 9-9’s comes in really handy at times.

I think too many people look at the quad 1 records now as a major barometer but I think it has way to big of a gap to look at it. North Carolina is definitely getting ragged for it being 1-12 which I get but 7 or 8 of those losses were to teams with a 1 or 2 seed. They lost to Duke 3 times, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Michigan State and Kansas (who was number 2 at time). How would Indiana done against those teams. Probably not much better maybe 1 win. I just don’t see how a game at Florida or Duke has the same value as a game at Penn State. I mean one team could lose by 2 at Florida and they are 0-1 in Quad 1 games. The other team wins by 1 at Penn State and they are 1-0 in quad 1 games. So not all quad 1 games are even close to the same I think they need more groups and smaller class widths.

You’ll often see some sites further break it down into Q1A and Q1B.

Positive note Nelson didn’t have anything on his knee or leg and just in shorts.

I’ll be in on a campus tour with my oldest daughter and wife. Yep, my oldest will be a senior next year which means I’m about to enter that phase of life of paying for a college I can’t afford.

Wife has already told me that my attention needs to be on the tour, not the game. At least it is the ground 1 game and hopefully a solid win with no drama.

I'm just now seeing the bracket. I think we caught a massive break. Nothing is going to be easy, but every projection I saw had us playing St. Johns in the Sweet 16, if seeds held. Of course, they moved up to a 2.

Neither Wisconsin nor BYU will be an easy out, but I think we have a path to the Elite 8 if we can get healthy and play defense.

BYU might not make it out of the 1st round.

I honestly think Saint Mary’s could be a tough out.

If we are full strength and rested and have Nelson we should make it to the Elite 8 though.

Duke is a Monster but I’d love to get a crack at them.

Usually in the NCAAT a Team made of mostly Freshman cracks under the pressure.

Sorry but this is Florida's tournament to lose. They appear to be as dominant as the last 2 UConn teams. If they stay healthy, nobody is beating them.
