Anybody else been glued to the TV? Just incredible. A few thoughts;
- This has been the most star studded tourney in a while. If your favorite NBA team is drafting in the top 15, you are going to get a hell of a player.
- With that said, I think Darryn Peterson is the 4th or 5th best player in the draft with lots of question marks.
- Acuff is Starbury 2.0
- Rick Pitino truly is one of the great college coaches of all time. The Johnnie's vs Duke will be must see TV.
- I've watched a lot of Arizona this year and love that roster. They are my pick to win it all. Brayden Burries is a dog
- Speaking of must see TV, Coen Carr at State is the best in-game dunker since Vince Carter.
Top notch tourney and if you haven't been watching, you are missing out

Madness exhibit A: the Iowa Hawkeyes. Enter the tourney on a 3-7 death spiral, now in the Sweet 16 after stunning the defending champion 1 seed Gators.

Ouch, dude. I've been here in St. Louis for the games and saw that live  Miami became Public Enemy #1 beating Missouri and was getting booed by all the locals vs Purdue  Put up a good fight but their jump shooting legs crapped out on them in the 2nd half.

Great tourney so far, the Sweet Sixteen should be awesome. Iowa vs Nebraska? Nice. UConn vs Michigan State is going to be really good. The O/U on Michigan vs. Alabama is 176.5, lol. St. Johns and Duke? Sweet indeed.
Best 4 teams left IMO, Arizona....Michigan....Duke....then Houston. If Michigan had LJ Cason, I'd feel a tad more confident about them. The Big 10 is all over this remaining field, shows how amazing the Wolverines' run this year has been. They've beaten almost 40% (6) of the remaining teams in the tourney.

That's going out on some limb, the three no. 1 seeds and then the highest remaining seed in the South. lol The tourney only has 4 teams left that aren't a top 4 seed, Iowa, Texas, St Johns, and Tennessee, so it's been pretty well seeded as a whole.

Houston was the other team I thought about. Super talented, they play defense, and Sampson is an excellent coach. They were so close last year. It would be cool to see them win it and get a little redemption

Don't forget Calipari down in Arkansas. I lived in Louisville for the Pitino vs. Calipari Kentucky vs. Louisville years. Both those guys can flat out coach and elevate those programs.
Carlos Boozers son running the Dukies, but I saw a stat that for 2 years straight now, no 13-15 won a single game. I think the NIL is sneaking in to March Madness now as well as the top teams are dominating to a greater extent.
