Related: About this forumSo--how's your all's brackets lookin' today?
Who'd'a thunk 3 11-seeds and a 14-seed would advance? And 4-seed Kansas barely survived a scrappy Samford team. Yeah, March.

(14,928 posts)Missed the Kentucky upset, but probably almost everyone did. Two bad upset calls; I had Samford and McNeese winning.

(6,330 posts)My bracket is ok, though not great. Like almost everyone, I missed Oakland over Kentucky. I had Kentucky losing in the round of 32.
I also had Samford upsetting Kansas. The bad foul call at the end was heartbreaking.
I expect my bracket will fall apart today.

(403 posts)As long as John Calipari is coaching Kentucky, expect an early elimination. He is past his prime. Kentucky fans are devastated today, but tomorrow, well be ANGRY! It is time for Cal to retire!
Only Cal can bust the first round of the NCAA tournament with two top five draft picks, a consensus all American and at least three other probable NBA picks. WTF

(24,986 posts)Yeah, they can shoot the lights out, can handle the ball well, etc., but at the other end of the floor, they're at sea. Just my totally amateur uninformed view of things. When a 14-seed can score 80 points on 'em, something's amiss......
My Jayhawks seem to have the same problem. A 13-seed lit 'em up for 89 points, and burned through a 21-point second-half lead. It was crazy--the only thing that saved them was that Samford couldn't outmuscle Hunter Dickinson.
