Pulling for UH

Man I don't see anyone beating Gonzaga. Definitely not rooting for them but they've looked dominant all year.

I'd kind of like the see Houston win it, but it is a long shot for sure.

I'd be completely fine with the Zags winning it.
They've never won one before and are a very overdue and deserving program.

UCLA is really the only team that I for sure don't want to win it. That's because that'd be #12 (1st in 26 years).....and would put them even further ahead of the team with the 3rd most titles...UNC....

While my bracket had liked the elite 8 so far, the games have been eh. Been rooting for the underdog each time, coming up way short.

How are you doing since Roy Williams retired?

I guess some school is about to lose their coach because UNC is a big time program.

I'm guessing UNC will hire within....gotta have a UNC connection.

It was time.
Great career at both Kansas and UNC
They may need to finally step out of the family to get their coach
There’ve have been a lot of alums saying they/we should break that tradition....as it can be limiting.

hey, btw, my oldest is graduating and considering UVa .
I think she’ll stay in state and go to Texas, but its not for sure yet.

Could definitely see them go with Hubert Davis.
Former Mav is such a good guy and will fit the culture to a tee.
Likely can money whip assts to get the best asst crew in basketball which would be big with a first time coach.

If Mark Adams doesn't get the Tech job that's a guy Hubert could come after as his top asst. Dude is nails and a top defensive mind.

Hey sounds like Davis is a candidate but i wouldn’t mind seeing them get another great coach.

She can’t really go wrong with those schools but depending on what she wants to study one may be a better fit.

If I were doing it all over again I would have considered UT and UVA very highly.
I turned down a UT Engineering scholly(partial) to go play football at Tech.
I was a 6th string football player who is now a computer engineer so oops....

 

[Jake]

So which way are you leaning tonight, Texans? I'm rooting for my money (Baylor) but have no dog in the fight.

 

[Jake]

I'm guessing UNC will hire within....gotta have a UNC connection.

Hubert Davis has been an assistant under Williams for 9 years, but UNC-Greensboro's head coach (Wes Miller) is younger and played for Williams' 2005 championship team. Miller has won 185 games in 10 years as head coach at UNCG. I'd be surprised if it wasn't one of them.

I'd go with the younger guy who has head coaching experience but I suspect they'll go with Davis.

 

[uvaballa]

Baylor is looking good. I’ll have to root for them over Gonzaga if they’re both in the final.

 

[Jake]

Man I don't see anyone beating Gonzaga. Definitely not rooting for them but they've looked dominant all year.

I thought so too, but UCLA is giving them all they can handle. Great coaching job by Cronin after losing two starters in February and having to play in the First Four.

 

[Rockport]

Great game going on gents and ladies.

 

[Rockport]

Oh my God what a great fricken game! One of the best ever. Kudo’s to UCLA they played with the heart of a Lion. Man, I’m blown away.

 

[Miller]

That was one of the best endings ever and I loved there were no timeouts the last 50 seconds and they let them play

 

[Jake]

Gonzaga escapes UCLA on a prayer in OT, but their perceived invincibility has been shattered. Baylor can, and will, beat them.

 

[Diehardblues]

March Madness is the best 3 weekends of sports every year for me. It rarely disappoints and certainly didn’t this year with another absolutely classic last night .

UCLA made one of the best runs we’ve ever seen in tournament history and it took one of hbe greatest miracle shots by the #1 team to knock them out.

No other vehicle provides an opportunity like the NCAA tournament to sleigh dragons.

Long live March Madness!!!!!!!!!

Was rooting hard for Gonzaga to lose.

1. I don't want to see them go undefeated and now they are 1 game closer.

2. Last year I signed up for my local casino's sports betting app. Created account, deposited $25, got $25 bonus money and was all ready to start goofing off by betting on the derby races (I know little about horse betting or sports betting in general). But the app wouldn't recognize my location. Multiple sign out/in, uninstall/reinstall, reboots, turn location on/off I finally gave up. Also found out they didn't do horse racing so it was all a waste of time.Yesterday I reinstalled the app on a whim and it finally worked. So I dropped moneyline bets of $25 each on Houston and UCLA. Houston ..... ugh. UCLA was so close I could almost taste the $200.
