March Madness begins today around 12 noon. It starts off with 64 teams, which means 32 games today and tomorrow.
There will be 16 games on Sat and Sun.
I like watching college BB more than the NBA. I usually don't have a dog in this fight and root for the upset, which there are usually a few.
This year I'm all in on Duke. Maine does not produce many big time college players. This year Cooper Flagg is not only a star but he is considered to be the #1 player to be taken in the NBA draft.
Enjoy March Madness.
 
I'm riding with Florida but there are a few stellar teams in the field this year.
 
I enjoy very much watching March Madness. I have I believe four schools I am rooting for. I do love the underdog. Looking at the teams there should be a few.

You all know by now who my boys are, who I 100% root for all year regardless if it in a competition or not.

Same, love Cooper! We actually have an 8th grader here that scored 43 points at the annual State Basketball Tournament in Feb. Look up Quinn Pelletier from Madawaska, ME. He was Sports Illustrated High School athlete of the week a few weeks back.

I did hear of him. It will be interesting to see how things go for him in the future.
So far no upsets but that usually happens.

Keep me updated on him, please. Cooper is all we hear down these parts for good reason. My only request is please don't enter the draft, please and please don't enter the draft. LOLOL But get it.

Almost a great comeback by the Heels.

Absolutely. They almost pulled it off. They had a tough season. Three games against my Devils this season and we won all three. That doesn't happen as a norm against the two teams. The games I am watching are Duke( woot) and NSU. which starts soon.

Now just Duke left for the state. I was surprised to not see Wake Forest and NC State in the 2025 dance, they usually are, but wasn't their season.

Edit: Bye bye NSU

I've seen a couple of Maryland games this year.

They may not make the final four, but they'll be a tough matchup for whoever goes up against them.
 
Rick Pitino is still coaching at St. John's. I remember when he first started out at BU then Providence.
His son, Richard, is HC at New Mexico. Maybe they will meet in the tourney.
Then there is coach Cal, who brought fame to the UMass program in the 90s is now HC at Arkansas.
St. John's and Arkansas are playing now.
