2024 NCAA Tournament
I think Houston has to be favored.
They remind of Nolan Richardson's Arkansas basketball team.
As described..
In the early 1990's, Arkansas enjoyed unprecedented attention and success. Former Governor Bill Clinton was sworn in as President of the United States while the University of Arkansas became one of the top men's college basketball programs in America. The man behind the Razorbacks' rise to prominence was head coach Nolan Richardson and his "40 Minutes of Hell" playing style - turn up the pressure for an entire game and the opponent will eventually break down. It was an approach that embodied Richardson's personality.

That Arkansas team was deep and so well schooled. Nolan was an amazing coach and has been a great philanthropist in his retired life.

iowa State some are pushing for 1 seed over North Carolina who I think lost to NC State.
I think I can't root for Iowa State.

Won the biggest Big Dance jackpot of my life -- $240 -- by picking the Razorbacks to win it all back in the late 1980s. In fact, my bracket had me winning before the Final Four started playing. Luck of a lifetime for me.

OU didn't make it in either. The surprise to me was Michigan State as a 9 seed with a record of 19-14. I don't follow them at all but just saw their record.

Yeah, this was quite surprising. As expected, we weren’t even in the first four out.WildcatEngineer wrote: ↑March 17th, 2024, 5:39 pmOU did not make it.
I do not know if 9-9 would have got us in.
