Day 2 here we go 

There's isn't any men's team I want to see today, so I'm going to give the ladies my attention and watch how y'all act up in this thread😂 I can always count on this group of crazies to become unhinged

I want to see if Mark Pope gets himself fired today.

Can’t believe that sequence.  Onions!  Overtime

This is why I love march madness

Kentucky finally overtook the powerhouse that is Santa Clara for the OT win. Tech has started to stretch their lead on Akron finally.

I know that by the end of the day I will regret saying this, but for now.....I STAND ALONE in the OTF bracket challenge!!!

If the men's game had as much crisp off ball movement and spacing as the women's game it would be absolutely amazing to watch. Baylor's offense in the fourth quarter against Nebraska should be studied.

How is Devin Askew still playing college basketball?

I don't get why fans try to gauge conferences. How strong or weak a conference is perceived to be isn't an indictment on an individual team. Moreso, if you win a championship and don't play in the strongest conference (hello UConn women) does that take away from the fact that you either beat enough of or everyone that was put in front of you? In my most humble opinion the we play in this conference or that conference is an excuse fans use when their team doesn't get the job done.🤷🏿

It was all fun and games when Duke was pushed, St Louis said hold my beer. Michigan is super frustrated they aren't blowing out STL😂 That's the hard part when playing these lower seeded teams that don't match up with you,  but they run a crisp and clean offensive set that you normally don't see.

Am I crazy for this but it really doesn't make sense that we play the first round on a thursday and a friday? Now I'm sitting around on a sunday morning with nothing to watch. Maybe do the second round on mon/tues where you can schedule it better to be after work. Then again, I do love watching some march madness at work. Also, it being my first year in Pacific time has made me more aware of this.
