FInished second in Big 12 which was the toughest conference in the country this season. Destroyed number one seed Kansas in the last game of the regular season and again in the Big 12 tournament final. The NCAA twists its spine into a pretzel trying to get two SEC teams into the football playoffs every year. Nothing wrong with 2 one seeds out of the Big 12.

I forgot about that, thanks for the reminder. Memphis did play well most of the season after a bit of a crappy start if I remember correctly

Houston also lost a good player in the AAC semis. Probably why they lost to Memphis in the championship.

No school tomorrow so have all day to do my brackets.
First glance Houston is going to be tough to beat. Uconn, my home team, has already beaten Bama, and I hope they will go deep. Didn't look all that good in the Big East semi final, but had a player in early foul trouble and missed a lot of minutes. All the other top seeds are strong, but it's rare that even 2 get into the finals. Not sure what to make of Kansas. Arizona has lost in first round as a 2 and a 3 seed years ago. And expect a 12 to beat a 5 in at least one bracket, and 9's have a habit of beating the 8's in 2 or 3 brackets every year. UCLA has lost a good player to an Achilles injury.
Best sports event ever!

Arizona is good, but my comment was just to show any high seeded team could lose in the first round.

I really think it's anyone's to win/lose. It makes some sense to follow the trends (like picking #11 and #12 and #9 upsets and never picking a conference champion to win it all) but I also think you just gotta throw that out and pick the teams that you think will win lol. Everyone says the bracket with Texas and Houston is the toughest. I really don't see that imo. I think they're all relatively balanced. Arizona is good! Definitely don't cancel them just because of some stupid statistical trend.
I think the West is the toughest bracket, so many of the teams were ranked during the season.
Kansas, UCLA, Gonzaga, St Mary's, UConn are all capable of winning on any given night. Of course it means they could also lose on any given night but all have been through tough conference and non-conference battles. And for the first time in years, not a lot is expected of Gonzaga this year so a little pressure is off them -
lots of MADNESS happening today

I go to UT and I'd definitely call pissing away a 13 point lead with 11 minutes left a disaster!

Very proud of my state team, UConn.
They won a championship in 2011 starting in West bracket, beat SDSU on the way to Houston. Hoping it comes true again.
Stuck on a plane in Miami last night but got to watch the second half
