    #2 Kentucky gets their doors blown in by Duke 118-84
    #3 Gonzaga wows nobody beating Idaho State
    #4 Duke unveils a trio of NBA-ready-looking freshman led by Zion Williamson, a lefty 'LeBron'

    Any indication as to which schools don't require students to go to classes or write their own papers?

    CNN's headline: "Jim Boeheim's Car Hits and Kills Man"

    amazing that his car could just do that on its own

    Yeah, I saw that on the webz but I saw half a dozen pieces on the news about Zion blowing out his sneaker and messing up his knee including CNBC interviewing Chris Russo to see if Nike would lose millions. It's a strange world in which we live.

    Yeah I’m sure though that Boeheim will use his resources and notoriety to set up some kind of fund for the victim’s family. He’s always been known for stuff like that

    “Shoe-gate” though? We might never recover from this one

    Do y'all think Zion the Great is done and headed for the NBA or will he actually suit up for Duke again this season. I could see it going either way and unfortunately it has some major gambling ramifications haha

    -I guess Zion will play tonight. Good. Exciting for college basketball.
    -Virginia and their plodding put you to sleep style is currently trailing at halftime...
    -Lots of upsets in the conference tournaments that have already crowned a champion.

    Also, I guess I'm the only person left on this website that follows college basketball anymore. sad. this place used to be a zoo

    It's bracket time!!

    St. John's somehow gets in the tourney and MSU get hosed. They were the best ranked 2 seed but are in the same bracket as the overall 1 seed. They should have been outwest w/ Zaga

    You are right about MIchigan State having to be stuck in Duke’s bracket, but if it’s any consolation, their path to meeting Duke is quite easy. The 3 seed LSU is completely shot because of the scandal, they might not get out of the first 2 rounds.

    I'll admit, this year is probably the least I've probably followed NCAA Bball..... but I'm ready to hop on the marchmadness bandwagon.

    Filling out my bracket and I have a tough choice: make Duke my National Champions or have them not even make the Final Four with Michigan State beating them....... I am really torn. Everything else is filled out.

    Same dilemma I have dude. MSU deserved to be a #1 this year. Unfortunately for that region the strongest #1 and #2 are both in the same region???? Go figure.

    You can't go wrong with Duke this year. Best Coach. Best Player. Best Team. I'll take that all day. To take down brackets you need to hit on all the other picks though.

    Michigan takes out Gonzaga and is then eliminated by their cross-state rivals. North Carolina defeats Virginia on the sane side of the bracket, then wins it all.
