2021 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

This morning I thought how great it would be if Zay woke up with a miraculous healing of his foot. I guess it didn’t happen. Hoping for the second after Eli would be over asking. I still feel good about tonight’s game though.

So if you’re the Texas AD watching UCLA do what your own 3rd seed badly failed to do … what kind of thoughts go through your mind?

“How much was that buyout again?”

Yes, I knew JP was playing behind a guy named Tyger! That team was stacked. Of course, as we know, JP is doing pretty well for himself!

And their children, while hirsute, would be luxuriously lock’d.

Actually, hold on. The Texas AD is the same guy who just hired Steve Sarkisian. I want to change my answer:

“Twenty dollars? Awww… I wanted a peanut.”

UCLA doing well in the tourney is bad news for recruiting.

Creighton #13 has been a total badass in these first two games. He pretty much beat UCSB by himself

Are people going to be stoked to play for Mick Cronin because he beat BYU and Aliblene Christian?

It’s not so much that as continued exposure to his sexy mask.

Don’t forget the overtime win over 9th place in the big ten MSU though.

UCLA was getting trashed by MSU at halftime. Then Izzo yelled at Gabe Brown, and the PAC-12 has been steamrolling everyone ever since.

Hey, more exposure to UCLA on the national stage is never a good thing is all I’m saying.

Not only has the PAC12 not lost, but other than that first game (UCLA-MSU), no PAC12 team has failed to win by double digits so far … and that does not look likely to change with UCLA-Abilene. If I did it right, the average margin of victory of PAC12 teams has been 13.5 points (not counting UCLA-Abilene). I mean, this seems to be a real thing?

One side effect from the Big Ten doing bad is that our UMhoops bracket pool has a really low average score because most of us favored the Big Ten so heavily in our picks lol

I may have been distracted, but I really think I heard Grant Hill call Ohio “Miami”.
