nice win, lost a starter early and still hung on against a good team on the road

I told you at the start of the year Iowa's a top 5 team MV. No one's better than Rutgers on their home court and Iowa still left with the W.

They aren't as good as Gonzaga but you've gotta think about putting Michigan at #2 after this.

Man this Iowa / Illinois game is shaping up to be a nailbiter to the very end. Has any team had more than a six point lead?

The Big Ten is such a meatgrinder this year. If you go .500 in the conference this year you're gonna be at least a 6 seed in the tournament. That's how good it is.

poo poo goaltend call cost Iowa 2 points so that's cool

Great game but that's probably it for Iowa's hopes of a conference title and a one seed

Yeah probably but they're still solidly the #2 team in the conference and are looking like an easy 2-3 seed in the tournament.

I love how Houston spent the entire year dodging good opponents and ended up getting exposed any ways.

Yeah feeling like the third best team in college basketball is on another level just means you're a really good team instead of a great team. You're still gonna slide in that 6-8 seed range in the tournament.

IDK if they are tired... This is just what they are as a team, a streaky shooting team that plays good D most of the time.

Correct, they're the classic definition of a 7-10 seed team in the tournament. Decent enough of D to keep it somewhat competitive and can do some damage if shots fall, but probably won't make it to the second week.

Iowa of course immediately wins an insanely ugly game on the strength of the D but whatever, get lost you nut punching scrubs

Is it really a rivalry if you beat them every time?

Hell of an ending in the SEC Championship game. With that Alabama locks up the 2 seed. We've now got four teams looking to secure the last #2.

Imagining the relief for the committee as now they can discard the janky ill-thought-out bracket they were hurriedly taping together to wedge LSU in, and get back to the janky ill-thought-out bracket more like we've come to expect.

Eh? LSU's gonna be like a 7 or 8 seed. They were a lock regardless.

I'm excited to post in a March Madness thread this year - really bummed me out when it was (understandably) shut down last year.

Pretty funny ohio state clawed back from a 15 point deficit to technically blow a lead

Ohio State is, if nothing else, extremely on-brand.

drat Gonzaga, Oklahoma's a hell of a second round matchup. What a tough 8 seed.

Are we really the lowest 2 seed? That's bullshit

Well you and Ohio State have to go in the Baylor and Gonzaga regions, so you're gonna be the lowest 2 seeds by default. But I'm surprised Ohio State lept y'all. Still, Iowa vs. Gonzaga round 2 should be a hell of a match if it gets there.

I don't see how Syracuse made the tournament. Their resume does not compare to the other bubble teams.

My immediate thoughts final four:

Gonzaga
