Basketball & March Madness

If any of ya wanna root for the under dog go with The Rebels.
Izzo’s a hall of fame coach.
If The Rebels play good basketball they can win.

BYU went down to dang Bama by 25 after scoring 88 yesterday.

Hotty Toddy.

It’s early Friday night to boot.

I'm stuck rooting for Duke, both in the Men's and Women's brackets. Duke women made it look easy to beat UNC this afternoon. <sigh>

Yup.
They’ve been fun to watch all year.
Beat some good teams to boot.
Even though The Rebs made 9 of 10 from the charity stripe 19 outta 22 by MSU. got them the W.
If NC woulda made more of their foul shots in their comeback It mighta ended different.

I hope Dia comes back. Oxford’s a nice place. With NIL they’re already pros.

Going for Elite-Eight-Izzo’s MSU (11X) & whoever is playing Duke.

Texas Tech really choked !!! missed several free throws on 1 and 1s at end of game. That just eats your shorts in a close game , a coach's nitemare .

Yup.
TT had a 9 point lead with under 3 to play.

Fouling the All American, Clayton who played for Pitino at Iona, when TT pressed with a 10 second call looming towards the game’s end wasn’t too smart neither.

Yep folded like a cheap tent

Meanwhile, Duke men roll on to the Final Four.

Final Four will all be colleges in southern states. Although of course the players are from all over the place.

Are you predicting the future or saying East Lansing is in a souther state?

Although of course the players are from all over the place.

JuJu Murray the little guard for Ole Miss is from The Bronx via Saint Peters. Played on the ’22 team that also lost in the elite eight. Flagg’s from dang Maine.

Didn't look that carefully at a full bracket with tiny print . . . that's the game in the NCAA South.
