Go Wolfpack!

suziek.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yay! I picked this upset!!!

simpleelements.bsky.social•4 days ago

People thought I was nuts to pick McNeese in my bracket. Lol

leecingola.bsky.social•4 days ago

Clemson did not show up. That coach just got a long term contract.

chrisjonez.bsky.social•4 days ago

No one cares.

david279.bsky.social•4 days ago

I wish LSU had a coach like that 😏

celtic85.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you McNeese for destroying my bracket

szeiter.bsky.social•4 days ago

Here comes Akron!

kutlinreport.bsky.social•4 days ago

I had em 👍🏻

And there go my brackets…
Busted already.

cmgdrama.bsky.social•4 days ago

this did not help my bracket at all

Down goes Clemson!

Long live March Madness!

That's our new Coach!! Congratulations McNeese. ❤️🐺

Clemson was way too high.

breeinthedesert.bsky.social•4 days ago

Read an article this morning questioning if Clemson could be a sleeper in the tournament. So I guess that’s been answered 😆

Ouch!

12 vs 5 is always interesting

etsisusi.bsky.social•4 days ago

ever since the olympics, i got very interested in womens' basketball. i'm disappointed that in my area, they're only showing womens' basketball on espn, which i don't get. ☹️

keshmir.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well, there goes my bracket 😩

NC State must be happy with their new coach

caligator.bsky.social•4 days ago

How many teams did the ACC put in?

paulwartenberg.bsky.social•4 days ago

thank you, 12 seed, for living up to your upset potential! ;-)

alayenisilvermist.bsky.social•4 days ago

A 12 beats a 5 just about every single year.

funnybone1.bsky.social•4 days ago

The challenge is picking exactly which 12 seed will beat the 5 seed. Tougher than it seems!

alayenisilvermist.bsky.social•4 days ago

My husband picked McNeese on one his brackets, but he says it’s his worst bracket haha. We shall see. My kids are UNCW alums, so I’m dying for that game tonight.

funnybone1.bsky.social•4 days ago

They got nothing to lose! No pressure, let it ride, and see what happens.

alayenisilvermist.bsky.social•4 days ago

Right!! It will be fun either way. They only make it every 10 years or so, because if they get good players and coaches to get there, they get poached by Chapel Hill, so it’s always just a pride thing.

funnybone1.bsky.social•4 days ago

It was much closer than expected!

tkbikes.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thank you McNeese for kicking butt and keeping my bracket alive 🏀

theathletic.bsky.social•4 days ago

No matter where he’s coaching, Will Wade always seems to have something cooking.

On Thursday, it was an upset of fifth-seeded Clemson in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

dancowell.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hasn’t a 12 beaten a 5 in every tourney since its inception?

hipquark.bsky.social•4 days ago

McNice

mxmllnr.bsky.social•4 days ago

The first upset I had on my bracket is a success!

tkbikes.bsky.social•4 days ago

Me too!!

mxmllnr.bsky.social•4 days ago

Go us! My bracket wasn't looking great from the first couple games, but I got that one.

globalentry195.bsky.social•4 days ago

That was not a upset ! That was easy call. Mc neese is the only Cinderella that can win it all but Houston will win it

bigb-in-kc.bsky.social•4 days ago

I enjoy seeing the overrated old SEC schools losing just like how others like watching the same for Kansas or Duke

Even better when it is an upset like this
