Running 2023-24 NCAA Basketball Thread

The way I think it works now is that CBS goes for the best possible ratings matchups in its last two games. Kansas-Gonzaga and North Carolina-Michigan State is catnip for them. But to get Jayhawks-Zags in that middle slot, Dayton-Arizona comes along for the ride as the opener, which used to be the premier spot.

 

There's a world where Marquette makes the Final Four without having to beat a single-digit seed. It would require JMU reaching the Elite Eight, but it's possible.

 

The Marquette run ends tomorrow

 

Gotcha, I was thinking they only got the tripleheader but that’s Sunday.

 

My East and Midwest brackets are perfect.

The other 2 are late-term abortions and Long Beach won't be beating Gonzaga for the title.

 

20 percent on my first round guesses - 20 percent!!!!

 

The worst part may be, when you get a game that looks to be lopsided early like this one, there's no other game to watch.

I made a similarly pleasant discovery about mine.

 

We have a first. The announcers of the Indiana women’s tournament game are wearing a pink jean jacket and the pbp is in a crop top.

ESPN apparently does not have a dress code.
