2018 NCAA Basketball Tournament

[PT7]

After watching games from the opening rounds of the 2018 NCAA Men's Basketball "March Madness," I thought I'd post some comments. Last night, my alma mater, Kansas University, moved into the Sweet Sixteen. But when looking for this year's Henry thread, I found the last NCAA post was from the 2017 tourney! So if there are any NCAA basketball fans around, here is a starting thread for the 2018 "March Madness."

Like I said, KU moved forward. But in glancing through some of the highlight tourney reports this morning, I found a really cool video about the team chaplain from Loyola, who has been involved with the university for over a half-a-century. Loyola men's team won also this weekend, but this is a kind of a fun and "good news" report about this 98-year-old loyal Loyola lady. So here it is --- just to smile and enjoy. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2018/03/17/ ... ers-ready/

Have a good day of rest this Sunday!

Virginia's first round lost to a 16 seed has to have almost universally killed most everyone's brackets

[PT7]

I wondered about that, too.....whether or not the brackets were "universally-killed" or not. Seems to be maybe a statistics/probability math problem ---- my very worst h.s. subject!

Does anyone know the answer

Duke looked good last night .... with Virginia out of the picture, Duke's chances have gone way up .... Duke's Coach K has become the winningest coach in Division 1 history

Some good basketball playing today. UMBC played pretty well against K-State, but are now heading home.
The big news for me (since Roy Williams was the former KU Jayhawk's coach and was in nearby Lawrence, KS for years when I lived there), was the Aggies taking out North Carolina....and wow, really taking them down. That was a game to watch.

The person who coined the name "March Madness" was spot on!

I'm a University of Kentucky fan , but my daughter lived in Spokane for a few years. On one visit she took us by the campus . I usually root for them if they aren't playing Ky. teams. I can 't believe the teams that lost in the South bracket. We were in line to have to play several top teams that are now sitting at home. Crazy year indeed.

I'm hoping this is the year the zags go all the way.

Sir Henry, Is there anyway at all you would accept 2nd place for the Zags so that Kentucky could win it all? LOL
