The only saving grace is that I can watch Wrestlemania from the beginning now that I have no reason to watch the rest of this tournament.

I’m no Miami fan, but they deserved to win this game. That’s about all I can say.

Classy guy you are Fuji.

I hate to see them lose too, like Bama lost to San Diego State as they reached the Final Four for the first time.

That's why it's called March Madness for a reason, cause a lot of shit can happen in the tournament.

I agree, with the small exception that Texas had big leads twice against Kansas, a better team than Miami by every conceivable metric, and did not start playing like shit. I suppose Disu being out and Carr being hurt played a part there, but man, teams that get cocky when they’re winning big piss me off. I have no issue calling out my own team for that kind of behaviour.

It was a fun run though, and I hope Terry gets the permanent job because he’s earned it. First Elite 8 in 15 years is nothing to be ashamed of.

So I was watching the NIT game, North Texas vs Wisconsin right, and my buddy asked me who is the biggest alum from North Texas? He said Mean Joe Greene and I said Stone Cold Steve Austin.

San Diego State is my pick for the National Championship with the lesser known Florida Atlantic as the runner-up....This Final Four in particular isn't the most popular but it sure can make for more quality gameplay.

It would be kind of hard for that to happen considering they're playing each other in the Final Four game.

UCONN looks like the team to beat, so obviously Miami will somehow beat them and then go on to lose to Florida Atlantic on Monday.

I don't like Iowa but I just want to see Caitlin Clark go off on the top rated team.

Please do not disappoint.
