Non-UND Men's Basketball

ORU needed to jump on Duke early and scare their freshman, never did it.

Duke was an awful draw for them all the way.  They would have beaten Tennessee or Miami, no doubt in my mind.

Duke might make a deep run, they are peaking at the right time.

Arizona chokes in March, per usual.

Wonder how many brackets are ruined already?

POTUS picked UA …

I imagine so did a lot of other people. But that is what makes this tournament so special.

Yep. I did

Oral Bob shot the lights out against NDSU. Must have used all that good will... didn't save some for tonight. 

My bracket is wrecked. Had UVA in the title and UA in the elite 8. I dont watch a ton of ball, was very gut heavy lol

[petey23]

Bracket is busted.

Number Board hasn't hit yet.

But on the bright side did hit a 4 game parlay and 6 game teaser today!

Busted brackets? I learned my lesson a couple-three-or-so decades ago: 

I was working on a grad project using Monte Carlo simulation so I had access to a pretty solid random number generator. I came up with a weighted process, generated at that time 63 random numbers, and followed the process for each game round by round to fill out a bracket. 

I then made my picks. I turned in two brackets. 

I came in bottom half of over 200.

The random number generator came in third.

Now we shall see if Mills ends up going anywhere.

Think he could end up at North Texas? I know that may seem like a smaller jump than anticipated but it sounds like McCasland is the lead for the Texas Tech job.

I really doubt he would leave Oral Roberts to go to North Texas.

In hoop, unless there's serious money involved, is that really an upgrade? I'd think he'd want an MVC school over UNT. 

[sioux24/7]

North Texas has been a rock solid program since McCasland has been there. I agree he will likely only go for something bigger though. It seems like a faith based school is important too.

move over UMBC, we have a new champion of the 16 over 1 

[Shawn-O]

From 4-22 last season to history.  It can be done, folks.  

[Nodak78]

Too bad ORU was not matched up with Purdue 

[fightingsioux4life]

And more brackets go up in flames.

If Duke keeps playing like that, they’ll steamroll through the region. 

[farce poobah]

Raise your hand if you had Princeton over Mizzou by 20.  4 min left.

This is unfortunate.  I genuinely feel bad for him and I hope he’s able to seek some assistance.  I think there has been evidence that he hasn’t been a good place for a long time now, and I hope that he is able to find something to steady things

Quite the "Shocking" Development....

 

[SWSiouxMN]

Could this finally be the Zags time?

 

[fightingsioux4life]

The last #1 seed just went down.

[mn_sioux]

Good to see Greg McDermott and Creighton in the Elite 8

[Nodak78]

Any chance Nowell in the portal?  A lot of TO's but damn he can assist and score.  

[Nodak78]

Is this craziest March to madness ever.  Damn I hope Greg McDermott wins.
