NCAA hoops regionals underway.

Texas went down in the play-in. 12 seed McNeese shocks 5 seed Clemson. It is madness!

Meanwhile BYU looks like they have a pretty good ball club.

Gonzaga spanking Georgia in an 8/9 game.
 
When I think of March Madness, I think of HS BB in the Midwest. It's a religion in the area.

It occurred to me just yesterday that my HS won the state BB championship 50 years ago. Those were heady days indeed!
 
Had my bracket with money on it busted with the first game!!!

Surprisingly there were 5 people who chose McNeese St to win... there are a lot of 12 vs 5 wins in the past...
 
sorry I missed the Clemson game.

I enjoyed seeing Drake win, but then it was bedtime for me...
 
I don’t especially follow college hoops (even less, pros) but Illinois is my alma mater so it’s good to see them in the tournament.
 
Some of the 'experts' make such a big deal about certain teams that just make it in the top 64 and others that don't get selected. There are always some early round upsets but the reality is any team outside the top 20 has almost zero chance of winning it all. They should reduce the field to 32 teams but that will never happen, if anything it might get bigger, just too much money involved.
 
Sure but great games along the way. Michigan barely survived last night against 12 seed UCSD.

Mizzou shocked by 11 seed Drake.
 
So I finally broke down and watched a game. My favorite team, Wisconsin. Ranked #3. Just to watch them lose. They totally cratered in the first ten minutes. Ugh.
 
I was happy to see McNeese State win. The university I attended many years ago used to be in the Southland conference.

My local school, Colorado State, won. I was happy to see that. Hopefully, they will win this evening. Eventually the big boys will crush them.
