The giant is that Haarms guy from Purdue who transferred for some reason.  All of their best players this year are transfer mercenaries.   

Michigan State looked like complete ass for most of the season, but of course they closed at the end by beating Ohio State, Illinois and Michigan.  They have a lot more talent than an 11 seed should, and Izzo.  Fuckers.   UCLA seems kind of meh and doesn’t have a loaded roster at all by their standards - I’d prefer drawing them.   

izzo ALWAYS gets better in february.

every year.

like bank.

if it's msu and shaka let's 'em play streetball, not good, bob.

to be honest I don't know much about them but I really don't want izzo and Michigan State.  do they have someone that can guard Coleman?

 hopefully either UCLA or BYU take care of them.

beware michigan state in march

Yeah come on. It’s setting up for Izzo to beat UCLA and BYU and then it’s Shaka versus Izzo which is a lot like Charlie Strong coaching against Nick Saban 

glad to see multiple people already gone serak the preparer on izzo.

beware the izzo.

Let's say we are a 3 seed. Who are we hoping to have as 1 and 2 seeds above us? I would be just fine with Michigan and houston as the 1 and 2 seeds in our region. And Florida st or wv as our 4. 

Nostra-fucking-damus here.

Well done, sir.

Well... nah. I like Texas' chances to get to the sweet 16. I think Texas has a decent chance to get to the final 8. However, I don't think Texas is a final four team.

Texas has a higher ceiling than any other team that's not  a #1 seed. They are getting some love because these guys have watched enough hoops to know that if Texas gets it rolling, they are a handful and can bury just about any team. Sadly that team doesnt show up that often. 6 games in a row? pffff

yep.  IMO they are buying the big 12(and Big 10) conf hype.  I hope they are right.

Fuck em. They win one time 20 years ago.

They’ll bust brackets as a1-2-3 or make Cinderella runs as an 11.

They’re the Oklahoma state of the B1G in messing up my bracket. I’ll be cheering for UCLA so I don’t have to think about it

Sure, the NCAA is claiming TCU's sweep of the Pokes as rationale for their No.4 seeding, but you know it's really cuz OSU is appealing its bullshit postseason ban. Meanwhile, KU--which is guilty of far, far more egregious violations--barely gets a slap on the wrist and then is rewarded with a 3-seed.

For what it's worth, I like OSU's draw outside of the seeding and think they can do some damage.

As for our 'Horns, no idea what to think. Glad to not be in either Baylor or Gonzaga's region. Texas could win the East ... or lose in the first round. There really is no telling.

shit.  i get my second Pfizer shot on Saturday afternoon.  hope i'm awake and coherent at 8:50 pm.

With an afternoon shot, you’ll have the shakes starting around the under 4 timeout in the 2nd half

Let’s just hope it’s because of Pfizer, not  the display on the court

You think they have a decent shot to get to the round of 8, but no shot to win one more game against an at this point unknown team?

I've heard of lots of people having reactions to the 2nd Moderna shot, but not Pfizer.

Don't know about Pfizer, but I had my 2nd Moderna dose yesterday at 4:30 and was fine last night.  Chills all day today though.

I’ve already made 5 brackets. Got Texas winning it all in 4 of em. Michigan in the other. Best friends family went there so they’re my second favorite college team. Though Juicy makes it tough at times

I’m way late to the party but did they put Kansas as the higher ranked 3 seed? We beat them twice head to head? I know seeding is subjective but just curious if I’m reading that right? Shouldn’t the lower ranked 3 seed be in Gonzaga bracket?

Never understood how someone can be a number 1 seed if they didn't win or even play for their conference championship. 

Which number 1 didn't win their conference? 

Zaga Check

Baylor Check

Illinois (tourney) Check 

Michigan Check

In theory we're a very tough out because we have a 4 year starter senior PG, we're long and athletic at 4 and 5, we can play defense, and if the 3s are falling we can beat anyone in the country. 

In reality, we turn the ball over way too fucking much, and we're more likely to shoot 20% from 3 on 30 attempts than get hot behind the arc.

I can see why experts would either have us bounced in the first weekend or get to the final 4. Our floor and ceiling probably have the widest gap of any top 4 seed, with the exemption of WVU, who is always Jekyll and Hyde especially in March.

WV is Jekyll and Hyde in March bc they don’t get deferential reffing like in the conference. Suddenly Press Virginia gets fouls called on them and they lose

Depends on the team. I just don't think they have a very good chance to win that many games in a row against pretty good to very good teams.

So your resume matters to make the top 68, but then they use analytical guesswork to rank the 68?

That's really stupid.

This Apple stock has been kicking ass for me for 30 years, but damn look at what GME is doing now....sell Mortimer sell.

Oh look it's a tough guy. There are some clowns here but I guess there are a few in every crowd. You might be an aggy.

Has anyone actually seen Michigan State play? They beat Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio State but still got assigned the play in

They are a roller coaster. They have 2-3 good players and a deep rotation of role players who are role players but when forced into a bunch of minutes they suck.

If Henry, Watts or to a lesser extent Langford is hot they are a lot tougher to beat.
