OT: College Basketball season is upon us!

Great win by the FAU men tonight! A 9th seed!

And great win by the Virginia Tech women just now! First time ever in the Elite 8!

So excited about FAU!

The UConn women just couldn’t hold it together against OHIO State. Oh well.

Go Aztecs! We are so excited here in San Diego!

I was going for Creighton, but really OK with either team winning. I always go for the teams that aren’t in the tournament every year/ have never made the Final Four before.

Congrats to San Diego State.

I was hoping for Creighton but big congrats to SDSU. Great job!

This has been quite an interesting tournament!

Well this year you’ve had quite a few to pick from. It will be very interesting to see who wins the bracket challenges. An alum from FAU? Someone whose child goes to Miami? A guy who picked by rolling dice or someone who picked their favorite mascots or colors?

I’m going to win my small family pool (only 7 of us but still fun) this year for the first time ever! Not because I made great picks but because everybody else did even worse! Crazy year but I’m excited to win this time!

That’s how I always pick teams in pools :slight_smile:

My threads were busted Very Early (had Purdue going all the way
lol!). But has been exciting to watch. Cheering for SDSU–the kid who made the winning basket is from our area
and went to same HS as my kids

Wow, Miami!
Don’t want to choose among the Final Four- might jinx them, heh, heh.

Caitlin Clark is the first person (male or female) to have a 40+ point triple double in March Madness history.

I will be rooting for Maryland tonight for a Big 10 (re)matchup on Friday.

We were at that game last night–everyone was rooting for that last rebound in the final few minutes so she would get to 10 rebounds and have the triple double. Caitlin Clark is just incredible to watch. It’s so fun to watch her get the crowd hyped up, too. The crowd was so into it that it felt like we were at an Iowa home game at some points.

A win at the buzzer. Wow! Hoping UConn wins the next one
and a little easier!

I was rooting for FAU but congratulations to San Diego State. I now hope they win the whole thing.

Has San Diego ever gotten this far in the NCAA tournament before!

The best they have been able to do until now is the Sweet Sixteen 2011.

Well
then I hope they get to play UConn which also hasn’t done so well in more recent years. That sure was an exciting game ending.

I was rooting for FAU in that one but what a finish by San Diego State! Great run by FAU, though! CUSA is really having a moment right now with FAU in the NCAA final four and two CUSA teams in the NIT championship game.

Excited for the Iowa-LSU women’s championship game tomorrow (Go Iowa!)

I am rooting for Iowa too. I really wanted Virginia Tech to win against LSU but no such luck!
