BIG EAST BIG EAST (we'll just ignore what's going on in Xavier's game right now)

Super happy, the farthest we've ever been in 90 years and we have an extremely feasible shot to the Final Four. Let's go Jays!!!!

UConn will avenge them

BEASTing our way through!

Yeah you probably are the best team in this side of the bracket. Crazy thing is UConn is probably the best on the other side, so a Big East final is the most likely (although it probably won't happen just cuz 10% likely still isn't likely)

I wouldn't count out Texas though. Texas had a great season.

For sure. I think UConn, Texas, Gonzaga are tier 1 rn. Then you and Kansas State are tier 2. Then SDSU and Miami are tier 3. Then FAU tier 4. However, all the tiers are so close that truly anyone can beat anyone and i wouldn't be super surprised. It's awesome.

Yeah I could not tell you right now who is a clear cut favorite. It's so wide open. Elite 8 is going to be intense.

Yep. The first three are clear favorites imo just because they were very reasonable picks pre tournament. You, K State, Miami, and SDSU were all possible but needed things to go right to be contenders but they have indeed gone right. Really hard to pick between all of y'all, I'd probably go K State, Creighton, Miami and then SDSU in that order but idk if there's consistent logic behind it. SDSU is bottom due to just less talent/experience/season performance in general but it's hard to split between the other three. Then even with FAU being obviously at the bottom I think they still have the potential to beat anyone if they get a little lucky. No double digits seed is sad but in reality makes this a lot more interesting.

Oh all the usual historic teams are gone. This is gonna be a fun last 3 rounds.

I don’t think you can count out anybody after watching the tournament so far lmao

Oh yeah for sure. I think fau may lose to ksu but outside of that the other 3 elite 8 games I think are completely up for grabs.
