Norfolk St should've been angry about being 27.5 pt underdogs to the Florida Gators. They also should've saved that anger for the locker room and basketball court.

Creighton wasn't really an upset. #9 seeds have a better record. Being an #8 seed offers no advantage over #9 in terms of path and just pisses off the other team by suggesting they aren't as good even though it's splitting hairs.

I picked Mizzou to win the tournament a few weeks ago. They immediately started losing. You're welcome Drake.

(I'm using MAGA "logic" here, including the idea that sports are this important) The USMNT was 3-0 in Nations League tournament championships under Biden. They're 0-1 under Trump (losing to Panama). Our hockey team also lost to Canada in the Four Nations championship. So much winning Mr. President!

With 68 teams, I think they belong just as much as West Virginia did (who lost in the 1st round of their conference tournament). I love having all the conference champs in, but could do without all the other simply "good" teams (and I like UNC and think they could make it to the Sweet 16).

West Virginia lost in the 1st round of their conference tournament. I don't understand why so many people were upset, as opposed to disappointed another good team didn't get into a field of 68...

I don't understand what the fuss was about. West Virginia lost in the 1st round of the conference tournament. UNC almost won their tournament.

Newsom has tremendous political skills. Being able to have a congenial conversation with Steve Bannon, while not letting him walk all over you, is impressive. I just don't trust him on a moral/personal level.

I don't know about a "comfort" movie, but it's definitely one everyone should watch at least once.

Given how well the ACC tends to do in #MarchMadness, I think they should be in
