And the night ends with another upset as #14 Abilene Christian beat #3 Texas get their first NCAA Tournament win in school history.

Wrong sport I know but atleast it wasn't Maryland this time.

Illinois looks like they're about to go down. Big 10 has been a joke in this tournament, yet again.

[Meacon Keaton]

Texas and Illinois were both in my Final Four, so that seems about right.

Likewise.

It's what I get for trusting the Big Ten and Texas though.

Yeah, I wish I had an excuse but I'm just bad. My championship game is still possible, but I'm sure my bad juju will cost those two teams in the next round or so.

The silver lining of my bracket getting trashed by the end of the first weekend is I can then enjoy the (usually much better) games the second weekend.

This Texas Tech/Arkansas game has been friggin' amazing.

[Meacon Keaton]

Oral Roberts does it again!

[The Buscher]

Oral Roberts to the Sweet Sixteen!

[gunnar hendershow]

Don't worry Florida. Oral sometimes finishes us all off early.

[gunnar hendershow]

Houston is going to meet Baylor or Arkansas in the Final Four which guarantees us a Southwest Conference (RIP) clash!

Guess I'll put this here?

Wonder who they hire next.

[gunnar hendershow]

There's going to be a rather steady succession of these marquee programs opening up over the next few years. I assume UNC first tries to hire Chris Beard while also checking in on a couple of the other younger coaching names. Wouldn't rule out them calling Calipari either, even though he's got a job for life at Kentucky.

Looks like Beard just took the Texas gig. I can't really think of any other names they'd target. I wonder if they just promote from within and elevate Hubert Davis.

My dad, a UNC grad, wants Wes Miller. Miller played on the ‘05 championship team. He’s young and has done very well at UNC-Greensboro. So if the Heel want someone young and connected to the program, it does make sense.

[HailtotheYo]

Wow, trash bracket but I got two of the FINAL FOUR!

Just need HOU to upset Zaga in the final!

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, this wasn't my finest year. My bracket is usually busted on the first day anyway, but I usually have at least two in the Final Four. I got 'Zaga, along with probably every other person in the country. 

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah I managed 2 as well. I went back and forth between Baylor, Illinois, and Houston in the title game and picked the one of those that got upset. Also obviously didn't pick UCLA but the Texas pick was bad (that region was a disaster to pick for everyone).

JALEN SUGGS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

[Meacon Keaton]

What an amazing finish!
