I agree w/you Jazz, I LOVED it, definitely NOT a Bill Self fan!!!


The Pac-12 have 4 teams left (USC, UCLA, Oregon and Oregon St.) in the Sweet 16, But, the Big Ten, talk about a colossal collapse, they started with nine teams in the Big Dance now only have Michigan left. Not a good look. it should be interesting the rest of the way, Gonzaga still looks like the team to beat, but we've been down this road before, and Indiana is still the last team to go undefeated and win the title, that way way back in 1976!!!

Not only has the Big Ten had a collapse, but the Big 12 has as well. They started out with seven teams and are also down to only one, Baylor.

I'm not sure how they keep holding teams to well below their average shooting percentage, but OSU is moving on to the Elite Eight! Keep it up!

Congrats @Tog! I didn't see anyone pick against Loyola Chicago, so Oregon State continues to surprise everyone. Enjoy the ride.

I've been a UCLA fan since I was a baby, but hey, when you do this? Respect BAMA! Overtime!

UCLA is my team too. Took out my other finalist, but I'm ok with that.

A possible Gonzaga-Michigan semifinal may decide which kid is winning the house pool this year :)

Living in Michigan I made the decision to pick against Michigan going to the final four - knowing everyone else would pick them.

Thought my Alabama pick had some legs for a bit there!

Similarly though I also picked Baylor to win to avoid the gonzaga horde. Unfortunately others had that choice and I am behind them so far. Grr.

It's been one helluva tournament for the Pac 12, they have three teams left (Oregon St, UCLA, and USC). They will be the underdogs in all three match-ups, let's see how many can get to the Final Four. I have enjoyed the run that they have made!!

Good for them. I can be sad all I want, but Houston is the better team. Jarreau especially is an amazing player.

I hope you're not sad @Tog. What an amazing run for your team. This should be a year your school always remembers, hangs up something in the rafters to signify it happening.

When I look back at it, absolutely. I hope we can build upon it to have some long-term success.

I agree w/Jazz you definitely should be happy and proud, what a run the Beavers had winning the Pac 12 title the way they did, and getting all the way to the Elite 8, they were down 17 at halftime and made a helluva comeback to tie the game late in the 2nd half, no quit in this team. It was a "Magic Carpet Ride" for Oregon St,

Houston is tough, it should be a great game vs Baylor.

Putting this here since it's the right time of year and there's another discussion going on in the Sports thread. Just stunning, I hadn't heard that it was coming. An underrated career as people like to lie to themselves and pretend Bill Self built the Kansas program into what it is thought of today when he most definitely did not. Roy did. And then he took over UNC and did Dean Smith proud in how he carried on the wining ways of the program. The game will miss him.
