March Madness 2025

[HoneyBadger]

Happy “what channel is TruTV” day.

The First Four is now.



Also, EVERY game should be on Max since they’re the ones paying for the contract. GTFO with Paramount and their BS.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Carolina got a chip on their shoulder. Asswhooping so far.

If Flagg can play Duke will go all the way.

 

[Brentford]

Here's my bracket, from a guy who doesn't watch college basketball.

Last night featured one of the best buzzer beaters ever. Not sure it’ll be remembered as such since it was a 16v16 game, but holy cow. Another reason why the men’s college game does it best by not advancing the ball on a timeout.

 

[Dudley]

If Flagg can play Duke will go all the way.

Agreed. If not, my money is on Florida.

But they don't call it March Madness for nuthin'

 

[Dudley]

Both Creighton and Louisville are too good to be 8/9 seeds.

 

[Dudley]

And right after I post that Creighton starts pouring in shots from beyond the arc.

 

[HoneyBadger]

**** CBS.

Not available on DirecTV here, games not available on NCAA app while TNT games are, wtf?

 

[Dudley]

DirecTV app?

What the heck is High Point?

What the heck is High Point?

Private school in NC. They have a pretty remarkable campus from the pictures I’ve seen.

 

[Dudley]

You made me look. Beautiful.

I remember getting mailers from them back when I was on high school they did have an impressive looking campus.

McNeese State is puttin' the hurt on Clemson. Clemson has 8 points with 5:30 left in the first half.

Won’t be the last time Will Wade gives an ACC team heartburn.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I don’t have the numbers on hand, but I’m going to assume 13 points is the worst first half performance by a 5 seed in the shot clock era.

 

[Greg]

Clemson trailing by 22 points with only eight minutes left, I think they are done.

Down to 10.

 

[Dudley]

Clemson's #4 looks like Sam Bankman-Fried

 

[HoneyBadger]

It's over now.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Clemson only lost by 2 in the end.

 

[Greg]

Clemson scored 13 points in the first half and 54 in the second half.

First tourney win in school history for McNeese and I think they can give Purdue a handful as well.

Wade is going to be a great addition at State, the ACC sucked ass this year and needed a gangster HC like him.

Didn't realize they play Purdue next. The McNeese defense could be a problem for Purdue. But that's assuming we will get more of what I saw today.

Except for Duke. Cooper Flagg is the real thing. He is an all-around player, does it all. plus, he is surrounded by some good talent.

 

[FLRacingFan]

I wanted to roll with UCSD, but figured Michigan simply had too much size for them and changed my mind. This is a nailbiter.

 

[kkfan91]

The teacher I'm subbing for today has had all his 6th grade classes pick brackets and has each block posted in the room...pretty straightforward...except the one class that for reasons unknown has Troy in the final 4

Is there a kid in the class named Troy?

No

Nailed the Colorado State over Memphis pick

UNC getting blown out by Ole Miss.

Me watching the first round

Me watching the first round

Early chalk should mean the rest of the tournament is that much more interesting, but yeah, it’s been a bit sleepy so far. Even the “upsets” really weren’t that unexpected.

 

[Brentford]

I had a pretty solid right side of the bracket in the first round. Left side…not so much. But hey, Iowa St and Houston are still alive, so my championship game is still a possibility.

 

[Michfan]

So much chalk

 

[kkfan91]

Went 28-4 in the first round...not bad by my standards. Missed with Marquette, VCU, Georgia, and Clemson.

 

[Dudley]

This PU game sucks. Not much hope for the St John's game either.

Can't believe I have to wait until 5:15 on the first weekend just to see an interesting game.

I was surprised they didn’t go with the Lexington games as the early standalones. Arkansas/SJU is off to a great start though.
