The NCAA Men's Basketball tournament has begun. Are you watching? Did you fill out a bracket? Who's your pick to win it all?
I absolutely love this tournament and watch as many games as I can. We have a family bracket competition and my pick is Kansas.
Sadly, I predicted that my beloved MSU Spartans will go down in the 2nd round to Duke.

We also have a family bracket competition. I picked Gonzaga to win it all. DH picked Kansas. I don't have a fav or watch any games any other time of year but the competition gene is strong in our family and March Madness always leads to lots of loud arguments and fun trash talking.

I am going for Gonzaga. I don't follow, this is just a top pick! We do a pool at work, so we will see if I win anything!

The Spartans are my team too (we have season tickets) so of course they are always my pick. I think they can beat Duke. They’ve done it before. But, they have to get by Gonzaga to get to the Final Four. That might be a stretch.

DS just sent us a message that only 1.76% of brackets are still viable after all of the upsets today.
DH is rooting for the Hogs and we always have to pull for Memphis when they make the tournament.

I think Baylor will win it all. I am also rooting for Texas Tech.

Michigan plays Tennessee next on the 19th. Holding out strong for my Wolverines.

Duke love here 💙 Years ago, I read some books about Doris Duke, and took them on as my favorite team.

Long day of basketball. I'm going to be tired tomorrow. One quarter of my bracket is pretty much dead in the water.
My overall is still in, so that is good.

That was a fun first day! Definitely shocked by Iowa and Kentucky results.
Happy that it's Friday so I can stay up for the late games!

Oh my! That Kentucky upset! But my Arkansas Razorbacks are still in, though they only won by 4. At this rate, not sure who will win it all, if the Hogs don’t, maybe Tennessee?

Sadly, my team (Oklahoma) didn’t make it to the Big Dance this year.
I still love March Madness though. I have Kansas winning the whole thing on my bracket. I’ll be cheering for all the Big 12 teams. I think Baylor could win the whole thing or even Texas Tech.
I’m not a Duke fan but it would be a storybook ending for Coach K if the Blue Devils win the tourney this year.

My University of Maryland men's team didn't make it this year but our women's team did! So I will pull for them in the women's tournament. I guess the only good thing about the men not being in as I can enjoy the tournament and not be worried about them losing, haha!

Congrats to your Razorbacks but I have to say we are so proud of our UVM Catamounts. They played a good game, had a good season and almost took them down. I bet you could have heard all of Vermont cheering for our Cats in the surrounding states (and Canada…hahaha) last night.

I only watched the first half and I knew I didn't want to be in the same area as DH watched Arkansas play a very unusual bad game. I was tired and went on to bed. I think I woke up in the middle of the night and thought to check to the score to see the Hogs won! Whew, my house is happy for another couple of days. My DD works in Sports Compliance at UAB and she is headed to Pitt to watch that game.

I think the Blue Devils are either going all the way or out embarrassingly early. I think the pressure on these kids to do it for Coach K is a whole lot!

Arkansas was definitely playing a different game last night but managed to pull it out. Our Coach was highly complimentary about your team, they gave us a run for our money! It’s the whole “any given day” theory…

I don't follow any of the teams too closely really, so I have no favourite (Canadian watching from afar).
But I have a soft spot for Loyola & Sister Jean, so I like to root for them!
DS has a good friend from here who is a freshman on a D1 team in Buffalo, but they didn't make the tournament.

I picked Duke to win the national championship! I told my husband that with Coach K retiring, I feel old. I was on the Univ. of Maryland Dance Team, so I would see him up close every year of college when we played Duke at home. Now with him retiring, I can no longer say "he was coaching when I was in college"!
