NCAA FINALS 2023

Hmmmm.....I guess no one else is interested. That's okay.

I knew Arizona would lose early without a decent point guard. I'm hoping UCLA can work out another magical run down two starters.

Go Cats!

This should have been a poll, so 90% could vote Vivian Vance.

I hate Duke. That is all.

Purdue?

Purdon’t!!!!

Go Guyjackers!

Down goes #1 seed Purdue!

Purdue loses to Fairly Ridiculous University.

They should be forced to play shirtless. Then I’d watch.

The coach for Princeton is a hot daddy.

Glad I switched over from the Kentucky game to watch fdu/Purdue. Purdue couldn't do anything right. How do you the big 10 player of the year only take one in the last 12 minutes of a one and done game. Last year I was on reddit and there was a comment by a Purdue fan who hated Matt painter. I pointed out they kept Gene keady around for decades and he never got them to the final four. Looks like painter may be another keady. He has underperformed in March.

DAMN! I missed that upset! I got distracted with the women's tourney!

While I don’t think Purdue was worthy of the 1-seed, FDU has put on two very impressive Tournament performances.

Yes......Painter saw exactly what FDU was doing in the first quarter and didn't change a damned thing.

So goodbye, Boilermakers! Sad.

CBS - Crotch Boy Shot - is doing the best at showing us some nice crotch and butt shots with TNT - Tight Nuts Taint - a close second.

Who’s in that pic, R10?

Princeton is all white?

Fun to see some upsets spoil brackets right away.

All the brackets on ESPN are fucked

Will 3 #1 seeds be out before the Sweet Sixteen?

#1 seed and defending champ Kansas just went down to #16 Arkansas (the "hogs") - by a single point.

R17, it has some blacks. These guys are super smart plus super athletic.

That made my week, r21. I loathe KU.

Purdue has now lost to a double-digit seed in three consecutive NCAA tournaments

2021 - L to 13-seed North Texas

2022 - L to 15-seed St. Peter's (Sweet 16)

2023 - L to 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson

BUT THEY’RE BIG10 AND MATTER MORE!

R24 they weren't out played - they were out coached.

Fairleigh Dickinson coach is a weird hyperactive guy with a gorilla face.....I'm not sure if he has a speech impediment or is on something.....

They're playing on TRU tv tomorrow night at 7:45 ESDT......give it watch to see his reactions.....

Princeton makes the sweet 16 for the first time since 1967!

Here are the Princeton players and coach at the press conference -- all handsome fellows. Coach was a Princeton ball player.

I'm not into basketball at all, but saw the end of the Princeton game in the gym locker room. They were interviewing I guess the lead player and the coach. Princeton is hot! I was so excited for their win. The coach is super hot as well. I'm going to be watching them. The whole team is very cute.

Xavier game on now. Colby jones is gorgeous.

Marquette game is on now. Tyler Kolek is gorgeous.

Colby Jones

Saint Mary's with five white players is just so... anachronistic. Weird.

Marquette - Mich St is getting good.

And the camera guy keeps catching a HOT Marquette fan in the stands.

R33, 4 of the 5 starters of Princeton's team are white guys.

UConn is on a tear.

Final Four Prediction: Alabama, Houston, UCLA, Kansas St

UCLA wins it all

I had Baylor versus ucla in the final. Baylor lost tonight so my atrocious bracket continues to sink further.

I worry UCLA's injury woes will sink them. Too bad because healthy, they have good balance and great defense.

R31 I've been lusting after him all season. Hot

Marquette's coach was HOT! The fade haircut, the 5 o clock shadow, the dad athleisurewear hiding a TIGHT body.

R37 fuck you and the horse you’ll soon ride out of town in…let’s see how many NCAA titles Ucla wins as part of the Big 10… must feel strange that your school’s entire athletic program was led by the nose as U$C’s second banana.

R22 is super naive about how super Princeton is

Princeton!!!

Florida Atlantic!!!!

Boys!!!!

Of course with the Covid protocol, some of the players are 25 years old......

MEN!!!!

R41 Ahem, did you see what BIG 10 did in the tournament this year? ACC, Big 12 all have more successful post seasons. UCLA will help restore prestige to BIG 10 basketball.

Having said that, I'm not happy being in a league where we have to travel to Rutgers to play FB instead of rivals like WA and Oregon. Better restaurants in Palo Alto than West Lafayette.

Jay Bilas says Connecticut is playing the best ball in the tourney thus far. Hard to hard with that.

Jay always knows where to find the boys and the balls.

I am loving these cute white boys killing it. I have only love for the traditionally majority black powerhouses which is why it is so fun to see these boys go to the top. It's rare, even genetically. Maybe what they are saying is true about gen z having the biggest cocks because of the all the hormones in foods. Maybe that goes for height, too.

R42 must be be resentful he didn't have the smarts to get into an Ivy League school. Well, at least I did.

Actually, I was accepted at an Ivy—I turned the offer down in favor of my flagship public school. ….At a fraction of the cost.

[quote]Actually, I was accepted at an Ivy—I turned the offer down in favor of my flagship public school. ….At a fraction of the cost.

F.I.T. is NOT an Ivy, except to the dizzy queens that attend.

It must have been a poor Ivy if they didn’t offer you a scholarship.

Duke is out, both men and women, so everything's good.

Duke REALLY sucks

At least we all agree about Duke.

Duke out. Kentucky out. Kansas out. North Carolina never made it in.

And there was a wide-spread media comment about this tournament - "all the Blue Bloods are out!!"

Ahem... UCLA w/ 11 national championships. UConn w/ 4 national championships since 1999.

Also, given DL's obsession with plastic surgery, seems like on this thread we should remark on the astonishing facial surgery on that crook Rick Pitino, who has just moved from Iona (let's see if he can stay out of jail) to St. John's (now he can break more laws).

Rip Rip Rip the Chipmunks off the field!

Darn, poor Iona. I always feel sorry for those "feeder schools."

Groundhogs!!!

When was the last time NYC saw real college basketball with one of their schools? Has it ever seen college football?

The closest they come is when UConn plays at MSG. It’s like a home game.

Remember "ABD"?

Anyone but duke!

I have a good friend who went to Duke and roots hard for the men’s and women’s teams. I haven’t the heart to say what I think of Duke.

Though Kara Lawson, who coached the women, is quite likable. That’s because she didn’t go there so lacks the arrogance.

Anyone but Duke?

There’s the Evil Axis of college sports, in no particular order:

Duke

U$C

Notre Dame

$tanford

I only hate Notre Dame in football. I never really think about them the rest of the year.

Can we start a petition to please bring back the short shorts in basketball?

Stanford isn’t really a factor outside women’s basketball. I’d add in Alabama.

Miami Hurricanes made it to Sweet 16 again. Last year they got to the Elite 8. Hope the upsets continue.

R66. Um, I hate to say it—Stanford has the “winningest” overall record for NCAA D-I sports. They are followed by Ucla, Usc, and California (Berkeley).

^By that, I mean total NCAA / collegiate championships, team or individual.

"..... must be be resentful he didn't have the smarts to get into an Ivy League school."

Me either. But Trump got in.

[quote]Stanford has the “winningest” overall record for NCAA D-I sports.

OK but nobody cares about co-ed tiddlywinks championships from the Forties.

R71 UCLA was leader until the last decade or so.... so it's not "old time" Furd. And it's Men's volleyball, Men's water polo, and a bunch of women's sports.

R59 we saw real college basketball with CCNY, and real college football with Fordham, and that was before I was born.
