Not destroying, but I did pick them

I really donā€™t like Tenn and took Oregon State +8.5, but didnā€™t have the guts to take them ML

I had it on my bracket. Tennessee canā€™t score and I watched Oregon State destroy a couple bets on Oregon and Colorado last week so they seemed hot. Canā€™t say I was super confident in it.

Loving this Oregon State performance. Iā€™ve disliked Tennessee ever since the whole flap about the Heisman and Phil Fulmer voting us 4th in football. This is an incredible start to March Madness.

I picked against the Pac-12 in all gamesā€¦ not looking good so far.

A certain Big Ten Network analyst might say that Tennessee is going to win the highlight reel but Oregon State is going to win this game.

This GT Loyola game may be the best played game today

Loyola / Illinois would be incredibly interesting to me. I picked ILL to go out in the sweet 16 just because I think Loyola > OK St > WV/Houston is a gauntlet path. I think Loyola could control the tempo of that game and frustrate ILLā€™s halfcourt offense.

I did. Tennessee has been super overrated all year, and OSU has been hot the past 2 weeks. I wanted to get to the casino today, or I woulda taken them to win outright.

I just canā€™t imagine Krutwig guarding Kofi though. Or Loyola scoring inside at all

Gotcha. Props to you.

939

yeah the Illinois spleen over Loyola makes no sense to me. Illinois is constructed to crush a team like Loyola.

Yeah youā€™re probably right. I also think Krut has the stuff to get Kofi in foul trouble early by getting him to bite. I think if ILL ran away with it, it would be an Ayo domination game. But I like the way this Loyola team executes on both sides. Not your average 8 seed.

I donā€™t like Josh Pastner and his hair is ridiculous.

Krutwig is Austin Davis with passing ability.

Austin Davis is 100x better than Krutwig

And much more mobile defensively

My brackets already are a disaster and I donā€™t even care. Just loving watching these games and seeing our rivals lose. And thankfully my bets are paying off at least.
