2022 NCAA Tournament Open Thread

I just can’t root for Memphis and Emoni. I don’t like their program. I really have nothing against Gonzaga. They are mildly annoying in a wannabe Duke way…but they haven’t won a title so that sort of caps my annoyance.

If Memphis wins, Michigan has the longest active Sweet 16 streak in the country. That’s enough for me.

Saint Peter’s absolutely draaaaaains the shot clock

Man Gonzaga losing would be cool but only if Arkansas, MSU and ND all lose too. I don’t want any of those teams anywhere close to the Final Four

Fantastic timing on the zone there

I like Arkansas

Teddy Allen’s destiny is in New Orleans in early April. I don’t make the rules - this is written.

Texas Tech needs to win out

Also my new hot take after tonight is Arkansas wouldn’t be nearly as successful outside of the garbage SEC and incredible luck in the NCAA tourney (if they win tonight they’ll have 5 NCAA tourney wins under Mussleman in 2 years, 4 of them vs double digit seeds and 4 by 4 points or less depending on this finish).

They’re one of those teams that I have no reason to dislike (and I kind like Mussleman and his weird antics), but I hate all my interactions with their fans

Call me crazy, but I don’t think St. Peter’s wants to go home just yet…

I don’t think Gonzaga is used to playing this level of speed

You mean to tell me Pepperdine doesn’t have high caliber players?

I have never gotten over the 1994 Elite Eight loss to that team.

Edert is human after all. I wonder if he has one more (covid) year of eligibility? Would be great to have the stash on our team next year.

Murray State is falling apart down the stretch like some plucky mid-major OVC team or something.

Come on Teddy Buckets get it in gear

/gestures at Purdue.

Well there’s still potential for this night/weekend to be amazing depending on future results, but us winning, Baylor losing and St. Peters winning are all incredible
