Very talented team, they sacrificed u19 to win this at home. Topić in my opinion should have played for u19 team, but it's nice to win something at least. Bošnjaković who is one year younger has playe

The first two teams to punch their ticket to March Madness: Southeast Missouri State and Fairleigh Dickinson.

 

Safe to say they stand no chance in the tournament.

It does mean it’s time for me to start watching college basketball though. The “one shining moment” of the season :p

I donʻt trust Baylor (historical statistics thing).

 

I thought about Kentucky, but fell into the Duke trap.

 

Houstonʻs region is where I think the chaos is. Either Kent State or Drake will go on a double-digit seed run. Iowa State is my sleeper pick.

 

The top four seeds in the West all could make it out, but I chose Kansas.:d

 

(I also have some feeling a 14 seed will win. Either UCSB or Montana State is really sticking out.)

7 teams remain after 9 seed Florida Atlantic University eliminates Kansas State in the East Region final.

 

The Owls can thank Fairleigh Dickinson (who were given "no chance" in the tournament by certain user on the forum) for knocking off Purdue, the second ever 1 seed to lose to a 16.

 

There are also no 1 seeds in the Elite Eight for the first time in the 64-team era.

      It means that our pair will miss Olympics for sure. But I am happy for your pair. They won it fair and they deserve it. It always sad to see when your own sports bodies destroys dreams.

      The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.
