Have the last 3 days of the NCAA tournament stunk?

Kentucky/Notre Dame was a great game, but it's been it's been the only legit nail-biter and there hasn't been a "real" upset since Wichita State beat Kansas. Michigan State was a lower seed but I don't know many people who didn't pick them to win.

Wisky UNC was awesome. I don't know what to tell you

I don't know many people who picked Kansas to beat Wichita State either. The NCAA tourney is normally good for two days, and it was the same story this year.

It's gone by the script and arguably the biggest "Cinderella" left is coached by Rick Pitino.

Been great IMO.

Rarely does a tourney have more than one or two of these type games.........

It's a matter of opinion and tastes. I like seeing a Wichita State/VCU/George Mason make a run and spice things up. Pitino as the underdog leaves a lot to be desired. It's like the Patriots being the lovable underdog in this year's Super Bowl.

quote:Cinderellas are fun, but too often they regress toward the mean and we get poor basketball in the later rounds. The Cinderellas that have bucked that trend were Cinderellas in name only (Wichita State, Butler); they had great players and coaches. The best should be playing the best for the most part at this stage of the tournament.

Fair enough, but even I don't want tons of those every single year. I did like Butler.

No. It's been awesome. I'd much rather be watching high quality basketball with good teams at this point, than a lucky Cinderella make a run. It's nice for one round but at this point I want to see the best teams.

well whoever makes it to this round has proved to be one of the best teams? that's what i thought

ya right! Every tourney ever has had more than that.Posted on 3/29/15 at 1:51 pm to chalmetteowl
Another thing for me is that the teams and coaches left are some of my personal least favorites.
I hate Kentucky (LSU-duh)
I don't like Duke or Notre Dame (well--primarily their frontrunner fans)
I HATE Pitino
I respect the Hell out of Izzo, but some of his teams are so damn boring
I had no problem with Wisconsin, Gonzaga, or Arizona but I'm not really fans of any them either
It's been hard for me to find a team to get invested in this year, and I'm trying not to be in the "I'm pulling AGAINST team X" crowd. Like last night, it was a GREAT game but it's hard to completely enjoy when you wished both teams could have lost.

I'd much rather have some sort of top 16 tourney best 2 out of 3. If that means OSU doesn't make it in often, too bad.
The tourney is more exciting this way, but I'd rather have better basketball
