I'm in MN, so when my people hear that phrase they're thinking MN Boys State Hockey Tournament that's running this weekend. All winner bracket games streaming for free at prep45.com

Minnesota is 9-21 and getting easily handled right now by Maryland. No wonder they confuse March Madness. ;)

I am waiting for the brackets. Syracuse sucks. So I am pulling for Dayton if they get in.

Looking at UCLA, Kansas, and Purdue. Not falling for Gonzaga again.

Gotta vouch for this! No state high-school tournament can match the Minnesota State Boys Hockey Tournament. (The girlsā€™ version is awesome too, just with smaller crowds.) We were from the town that, whenever its team made the state tourney, 95% of the people in the sold-out, 20,000-seat arena would chant, ā€œThe whole state hates you. The whole state hates you.ā€ Good times!
 
Marquette! But they never do well in tournament playā€¦like today against St Johnā€™s. That was too stressful!!
 
The first rounds are going strongā€¦.got a few bracket busters out of the way. Wow on a couple games!!

Wearing my lucky pants for todays round ā˜˜ļø
 
Maryland! Fear the Turtle! šŸ¢šŸ˜‹ Won the National Championship while I was there, that was fun šŸ€šŸ€šŸ€
 
I can't believe Virginia and Arizona are knocked out in Round 1. Of course I had them both in the Sweet Sixteen.
 
Yeah, I had to pick U of A since I live an hour from there.

Was a pretty stunning loss. Wildcat fans are incredibly loyal and devout. I have not reached out to my son's CFA proctor/teacher to check in. She played for U of A, coached BB for decades at the high school level and has been a season ticket holder for decades. It's too soon.

I think I'll take Duke for the win. Or Xavier. Don't have a dog in the fight but what the heck.

Stunner. From CNN:

March Madness: Princetonā€™s shock victory leaves only 0.065% of brackets remaining intact.​

 
I live about a mile from one of FDU's campuses and the NYC area news was pretty giddy with ANOTHER Cinderella NJ team taking
down a high flying team. Second year in a row a small NJ college takes down Purdue.

My friendā€™s wife is from Jersey. D1 Rutgers athlete. She nailed the pick.

Her whole bracket looks great. She said Rutgers beat them so she thought Purdue wasnā€™t good.
 
Back in my day, FDU was known as "Fairly Ridiculous" and didn't have a good academic reputation. I wonder if that is still the case.

But couldn't believe how they handled Purdue. I think I heard the announcer state that they only had 4 wins last year. What a turnaround.

I heard that 4 win, as well. I was wondering if FDU won? Or Perdue lost? I know itā€™s semantics, but also a reality.

My teams dropped eggs. Meh. One loosing a nice lead in the final minutes. Another, having the WORST game of their careers. Sure hate to see that, but it happens.

I am not sure FDU believes they won, yet.

Saw a statistic: 0 perfect, of 20 million brackets, after FDUā€™s win.

Itā€™ll be interesting to see how FDU does going forward.
