I don't think we've done this before since college sports tends to mainly be an American thing, but I also know there's a unique magic to the tourney and I will argue about the many reasons why it's called March Madness - and the moments that show it - so I wanted to open up a TL thread for it. Feel free to sound off on who you've got in your bracket if you filled one out and how it's doing, what upsets you smell, who you think will win it all and more!
Games listed here are from Sweet 16 (Regional Semis) onwards due to the sheer number of games. Full bracket is here: Live ESPN BracketEast Regional - Carrier Dome, Syracuse, NY(8) North Carolina State <> (4) Louisville (3) Oklahoma <> (7) Michigan State South Regional - NRG Stadium, Houston, TX(1) Duke <> (5) Utah (11) UCLA <> (2) Gonzaga West Regional - Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA(1) Wisconsin <79-72> (4) North Carolina (6) Xavier <60- 68> (2) Arizona(1) Wisconsin <> (2) Arizona Midwest Regional - Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH(1) Kentucky <78-39> (5) West Virginia (3) Notre Dame <81-70> (7) Wichita State (1) Kentucky <> (3) Notre Dame Final Four - Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN

I don't see a world where Kentucky doesn't win. EDIT: Of course, that doesn't mean I won't be cheering for Michigan State!

Kentucky Louisville Notre Dame Michigan State Arizona Wisconsin Duke Gonzaga
Not exactly a Cinderella party.

Lol, this is one of the least likely of Izzo teams to reach the Final Four. GG Izzo godlike.

We've had threads in the past but I guess no one made one this year haha. I was able to go to Omaha for Wichita State's first two games, was a blast and didn't expect that team to get to the Sweet Sixteen this year. Notre Dame played a heck of a game against us and they were drilling shots left and right, unfortunately they couldn't recreate that magic against UK, although they came close.
Hoping Gonzaga wins so we have someone new in the Final Four this year.

I know MSU isn't new to the final 4, but given how they have played this year it's really impressive. They've been downright awful at times, but they clicked at the perfect time and Izzo did his thing! Fuckin' right!!!
I don't think they get by Duke, though. And I still don't see Kentucky losing. Duke/kentucky finals with kentucky winning wins me 50. Only bracket I have left. Coooome on!

so I'm in a huge pool (285 brackets, $10 a bracket) and I'm in second going into next weekend. Had 7 of the elite 8 and got all four final four.
If Kentucky/Duke win in the final four and Kentucky wins it all, I win like 2k.
It's funny too I thought I was way out of it because I only had 9/16 in the sweet sixteen.
Time to start rooting for two of my least favorite teams. Thank you Michigan St, very few people had them coming out of there. BOOM. Never doubt Tom Izzo!
