yeah, other than the championship in 2019, tony bennett has not done too well in the tournament.

My bracket is toast.
I picked Furman over Virginia. So far, so good. My next biggest upset would be Vermont over Marquette
Arizona looked disconnected right from the start of the game.
Love the fact U of A got bounced in round 1.
I think Princeton plays Missouri where Princetons most famous player came from. I remember the Caszzie Russel lead Michigan in beating the Tigers back in 64 or so.
As an aside I recall sitting in the first row at the Field House whenMichigan came to town..Cazzie, Bill Buntin and Oliver Darden, that was quite the awakening for a small town Wisconsin kid. These guys had muscles on muscles.
Those were the days.
Duke firing on all cylinders vs Oral Roberts. Up 14 with just over 3 minutes left in the 1st half.
This might be the only time I will ever want Duke to win, just because of the scumbags name on the other team.
#13 for the Catamounts has to wake up. He's been involved in turning the ball over and not being ready for passes to him, on transition plays. 39-30, Marquette at the half.
Purdue playing… not well
Purdon’t
My bracket is toast but I don't care. it is so cool to see the shortest team in DIV 1 knock out the player of the year.
Down goes #1 Kansas to Arkansas.
Tomorrow Marquette gets Michigan State. Go Marquette!
Arkansas used basic fundamentals of basketball at the end. Fouled before the shot when up by 3 and won the game. Something the Badgers were lacking.
Interesting, Izzy has more NCAA appearances than the “king” Coach K. Just Hope Marquette kicks their ass.
Epic game between MSU and K State. K State by 5 in OT. Record 19 assists by Nowell.
Great game. I think 4 different State players passed up the tying 3 in the final seconds.They get to live with being afraid to shoot with the season on the line the rest of their lives.
My last game was in 1974 for Bartlett Ave’s 8th grade team, but Goddam if I wouldn’t have heaved one up.
At least I would have taken my shot!
Down goes Alabama!!! 
And Houston is about to join them!!!!
A 5, 6 or 15 seed is going to the final 4. And maybe a 9 seed.
Florida Atlantic, Kansas St., Princeton, Creighton, or San Diego St will be playing in the Championship game. March Madness indeed.

The Zags are happy
It’s pretty incredible that Creighton is in this position. Having watched a fair amount of Big East b ball they weren’t much of a threat to Xavier and Marquette and U Conn and Providence for most of the year but got hot toward the end of the season. I kind of figured Marquette was fools gold having won so many close games and they drew the worst possible matchup in MSU in round 2 but overall the Big East was really good and competitive this year.
As for Gonzaga, honestly, there’s no excuse for them to not finally break through and win it all. All the big dogs are out. On paper, they are probably the best team left standing. Then again, they have to get past a pretty decent U Conn team and a really pesky KSU team.
The next game between UCONN and Gonzaga could essentially be the championship game, as they're arguably the two best teams left in the tournament. That said, this just feels like a year where a Florida Atlantic wins it all.

For me when Alabama loses in any sport we all win.
UCLA is the team that should be kicking themselves. They had a 10+ minute stretch in the 2nd half where they didn't score a FG and turned a 10 point lead into a 10 point deficit. Then with about 3 minutes to go they found themselves and still almost won.
UCLA was down their two best defensive players and it showed. Overall they played well enough to win offensively (only 6 turnovers / 7-18 from the arc), but for the first time all year they allowed an opponent to shoot 50% on them (their season average was 40%)
FAU and K State has been a real battle so far. Tied at 16 at the 12:00 mark.
Lotsa empty seats, on March 16 th, the Turner broadcast team determined there were only 10 teams who could win it all. Only Texas and Gonzaga remain
