Madness begins
- Thread starter basketcase
- Start date
I can believe it, I had the Spartans losing in the championship game to Kansas.
I live in Michigan, and some people around here act like Tom Izzo can walk on water. He has taken a lot of less talented teams, much further than this, so I really can't explain this upset.

Crazy day today. Michigan St., West Virginia, and California are all gone. My bracket is already toast. On a brighter note my alma mater Hawai'i-Manoa won their first ever tournament game. Go rainbow warriors.
Wow. This might be the biggest upset of all time. I (and many others) had Michigan State winning or at least going to the final four. I said here that I was taking Michigan State over Oregon in the final but I changed it to Kansas in my bracket pool. Unfortunately too many wrong on day 1 so I'm already toast.
Vegas people are the only one smiling today. MCST are one of the team Vegas don't want to go all the way!
BTW, had the game on in background and paying little attention and thinking good on NorthernI upsetting TAnM......and then it happened....those last 40 seconds is why college hoops can be just the greatest game around for the unexpected finishes.......had to rewind that and watch twice to see how they did that......March Madness always provides fun wow ..!!!
No real surprises last night. What remains of my bracket wasn't damaged.
I noticed that during the week the Bleacher Report bracket challenge allowed people to change a pick. Says something about how messed up the first weekend was.

I had Virginia losing in the 8s (I need some reason to brag about my bracket) but it was to the Spartans (and I had the Orange not making it past the first game).

My bracket was already busted in the 2nd round. I had Oklahoma winning it all. If Nova can keep Carolina's bigs off the glass, then I can see Nova taking it all
Congratulations to Nova! Just desserts. The TV coverage was all about the Tar Heels: fans, coach, players. Were there no Nova fans around? Even the coverage after the game was about UNC. Most one sided sports coverage I've ever seen!
Have to correct myself. Seems there were 3 broadcasts: TNT,TBS, and Tru-TV. I happened to tune in to TNT, the Tar Heels broadcast. The Nova broadcast was TBS. Who knew? Now I understand all the complaining about the refs, all the shots of MJ, and the absence of anything Nova.
