MSU Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 First Four mini-bracket of the NCAA Basketball Championships underway tonight with New Orleans and St Mary's putting up a feisty affair. My beloved Michigan State Spartans don't enter the fray until Friday against Miami and will be lucky to make it much further beyond that considering Kansas will probably be waiting. Kinda hope the Wolverines do well considering not even a plane crash wasn't enough to stop them winning the Big 10. Either way, loves me some college hoops.

GingerSaint Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I've got £10 on UCLA. Lonzo Ball is just a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get by Kentucky in the Sweet 16, they've got to have a chance against North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deplorable Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Have the next four days off like every year. About to head to the bar. Planning on going to Buffalo on Saturday for West Virginia vs. Notre Dame / Princeton assuming we win round one. My Final Four is Duke, Arizona, Kansas, and UCLA with UCLA winning.

MSU Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Great to see Northwestern record their first ever March Madness win, edging out Vanderbilt. Gonzaga next for them on Saturday. And my divisional head announced today that games will be on the massive screens in the conference area at work until the end of the tourney. Free chips and dip. Happy days.

Enjoy Buffalo, it's a beautiful place...... Saw the highlights of Vanderbilt game this morning on the new, absolute heads gone moment from that Fisher-Davies guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Over 99% of all brackets are already busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 This MSU v Miami game isn't good for my nerves. Start off with a foul in 2 seconds, turn the ball over 7 times in the first few minutes, fail to get inside for about 8 minutes, are down 10 - 0 and go 12 behind shortly after. And then somehow we get a rhythm, get inside, finish the half 11 points up playing some great stuff. Loves me some college hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Ooft, what a game between number 1 Villanova and 8 Wisconsin. Never more than 8 points in it, Wisconsin win by 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Couple of cracking games today sees both Carolinas through to the Final Four. Gonzaga v South Carolina, North Carolina v Oregon. No real preference here, but it would make for an interesting final if it's North v South Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Was very fortunate to get to attend this with a road trip from hell to get there and back. Travelled with clothing for 85 degree desert temperatures and had to drive through the Arizona and new Mexico mountains where the weather was low 20 s and snowing. Game was blaa with the referees screwing both teams and our ok seats were about 150 yards from the court. Nice to be with the winning teams fans so it's one crossed off the must do list although I would go again if the opportunity ever came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'd love to go to a March Madness game or one of the Bowl games. Had a chance to get a ticket for my MSU Spartans vs Iowa in Indianapolis in 2015, but it was just ever so slightly too far to travel on a Sunday night.
