March Madness Could be madness this year

[blood94]

I cant wait for march madness! NO team is a favorite with tech beating OU and Penn State beating the sqawkeyes it shows that there is no dominated team in college basketball. you have to come out and play a good game every single night. So much parity in college basketball right now every game is fun to watch. very few power five teams have fewer than 5 loses this year and you know that during championship week a few of the non power 5 tourneys will have upsets

CANNOT WAIT!

Watch this be the least mad year ever with everything going to seed. I guess that would be the maddest thing ever since it never happens. lol.

3 top 5 teams all go down on a random Wednesday. It will be madness. Hope we are peaking at the right time.

If a 16 seed is ever going to knock off a 1 seed, this seems like the year for it to happen.

I'm calling out a Duke Championship.

the rest is fun non-parity basketball.

Or how bout the Big 12 actually do something this year in the tourney so we don't look over-rated yet again.

If Nova is a #1 seed I could see this happening

My exact thoughts as soon as I saw the thread title.

Zero teams that are dominant. Typically you see one team get 55-60% of people choosing the same team. I bet that could be nearly 25-30% this year.

How about I could not give a crap about the Big 12 conference ever and all I care about is what ISU does. I'm not cheering for KU or Baylor or WVU they can all lose in the 1st round as far as I'm concerned.

I think it could happen to any team in the mix for a #1 seed right now. Nobody has shown themselves to be good enough to survive an off night against a decent team, and despite their seeding a 16 is typically at least an above average team. A bombs-away type team from a mid major like IPFW or North Florida gets hot against a so-so defensive one seed like Oklahoma or Villanova, and there you have it.

So did I.

It'll never be upset-free, but such a musical-chairs year suggests it'll be more normal than we expect.

And with the zeroth round play-in games, at least two of the #1's are playing what used to be 15 seed teams.
