2026 NCAA Tournament

If you haven’t checked yet, I asked “What team is going to win the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship?”

Is there a group we can join for bracket entries?

Yeah… we have to probably go through Illinois & Florida to get there…

BYU got a sweetheart draw… @MountainCoug @BYUcougarfan

It says hardest but doesn’t feel like it… UT/NCST, then Zags probably then Purdue…

A bunch of overrated teams…

It could happen. Arizona and UH are on the opposite side of the brackets and if both make it to the final 4, they will not play in the semi-final.

What would be really cool is for UH to play KU in the semi-final and Arizona to play Iowa State in the other semi-final.

They can play in the championship. East plays South in semi finals.

Yeah, if the byu of the big 12 tourney shows we could get to the elite 8.

Not saying it’s likely. But possible

Used to draw 18k. Now they’re about 70-75% capacity. Still great but no as good.

Also, their AD is very vocal about how current spending is not sustainable. They po like us.

And it’s Ohio State. Their best out of conference win was a one point ref assisted win over West Virginia in overtime! They lost to Pitt. They’re 4-10 against teams in the dance.

duke and arizona lowkey have cakewalks to indy

michigan is probably gonna be playing a 12/13 in the sweet sixteen but they’ve been very human since the purdue win at mackey so iowa state winning their region feels way more likely than it did in 2024

obviously we gotta handle our business first but we might not even see florida in the elite 8 should we get that far considering vandy is their 5 lol :thinking:

Agree. Although not nearly as bad as last year.

Also, I think those averages are skewed a bit by our first game (Idaho) being tougher than the other 2 seed games.

But I don’t think Idaho will put up much of a fight and may just bring out enough to get us warmed up for game two.

I wonder how those averages look without the first round included.

Fran Fraschilla will join the 4Quarters guys tonight at 8 to talk UH, NCAA Tournament, and Big 12 hoops.

The fact that Gonzaga has an easier path to the F4 than we do as a 3 seed is incredibly irritating.

The one consolation is, if we make it this far, we have by FAR the weakest 1 seed to get through and we get to play games in Houston. Kind of evens things out.

I hate that she basically just said my entire bracket sans a few wildcards

That’s a pretty good get. Be sure to have the guys ask him about Dybantsa. :laughing:

Gonzaga not going to FF.

No sh*t, Sherlock lol. I’m saying their path is easier by average KP rank of their opponents within that path, which is BS for a 3 seed to have an easier path than a 2 seed.
