March Madness 2025, call it!

I'm hoping The City wins the NIT.

About to tip on the Hilltop.

If they win tonight maybe I'll walk up the hill and go see them play. I think they get the first three games at home. If they win.

I'm calling it. The Dons win the NIT.

Oh yeah. The Florida Gators can thank the San Francisco Dons for their head coach.

Coached 6 years at the University of San Francisco before the Florida Gators snagged him with the big bucks.

Todd Golden (good Jewish boy)

Looking forward to #14 Montana vs. #3 Wisconsin in about 15 minutes.

Montana could shock. Great coach.

The big man from The City is keeping the Bears in it.

Looks like the cheeseheads are just to big in the paint. The Grizz only have one player over 6ft 4.

First game is finished, and my bracket has its first loss.

No, High Point did not upset Purdue

Bama won’t go deep into this tournament at all if Grant Nelson can’t go. Might get past Robert Morris without him (hopefully he rests and heals), but the Tide needs his inside presence, defense, rebounding, and his 3 point shooting. They came completely unglued after he was injured against Florida.

UCLA vs. Utah State.

Laughing at Clemson.

Zags look like they're too much for the SEC.

San Francisco beat the Zags.

Fuck you North Carolina AD for not letting the deserving teams in.

Well, King Triton didn’t even look competitive in the first half, but at least he made a game out of it. Hard to deal with two seven footers when your tallest player is 6’8”.

Watched Drake v mizzou, potential Cinderella story brewing with them.

St Johns v Omaha was fun early, but the Redmen* flipped a switch and ended any thoughts of an upset.

* stuck in the 70's and 80's with lou carnasecca.

Arky beating Kansas was lovely.

Now we get Pitino vs Calipari.

Got a wild one in Cleveland (Mistake by the Lake).

The team from Fort Duquesne giving bama all they can handle.

Bama needs to get their shit together.

Bama needs to get flushed.

Sudden Sam · Post by **Sudden Sam** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 9:18 pm

Bama is not at their best without Grant Nelson. When he came in with eight minutes left, they turned it around.

They won’t get far into the tournament if he’s not able to play his regular minutes.

FiatLux · Post by **FiatLux** » Fri Mar 21, 2025 9:47 pm

I thought the Gaels would lose to Vandy because the way they ended the season.

Marčiulionis looks like his daddy... but, not nearly as good.

Looks like the San Francisco Bay Area vs. Bama.

Should be fun.

Can the New York City boys pull it off?

I like Pitino better than I like Calipari, but I loved seeing the Hogs take that one.

Arkansas looked good.

Some great games today.

I like BYU to upset Wisconsin

Like to see the Zags win. But I think Houston may be one of the best teams in the country.

Hoping Tennessee destroys fUCLA.

The San Francisco Bay Area kid (Mahaney) is giving Florida fits.

#1 Florida (SEC) looks rattled. Nice get by UConn getting the St. Mary's kid.

Mahaney vs. Golden. San Francisco Bay Area crime on crime. Golden gets the better of it.

Off to The City for Florida.

Great game to start the day off.

That was a sweet shot off the glass from the corner.

Too funny.

It sets up for a fun Sweet 16.

No Cinderella's... so lots of potentially good matchups.

Sudden Sam · Post by **Sudden Sam** » Mon Mar 24, 2025 2:19 pm

7 SEC schools remain.

I am sticking with Florida to win it all.

UConn pushed them hard. Had ‘em on the ropes. That win bodes well for the Gators.

This could be the day Bama leaves Jersey and goes home. BYU is very good.

Golden comes home today and knows The City well. Hopefully, he hasn't let his team have too much fun in The City.

Florida will have their hands full at The Chase Center against Maryland tonight.

Bama’s hit 12 3s already. 4 1/2 minutes left in half.

44-34 Tide. Fast pace. Fun game.

What a game. Bama took away the 3s that BYU wanted and couldn’t miss at their end. Never seen anything like it.

Now watch the Tide shoot 2/30 on 3s vs Duke!
