Eco Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 It's that time of year again where the entire country fills out their brackets and glues themselves to watching college basketball. Is this even a blip in England's radar? 'Cause it's massive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Better than the NBA playoffs by a large margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, all of the teams are in a conference, so the bracket is released on the Sunday after all of the Conferences championships are completed. I think this should be this upcoming Sunday. 2 ways to get into the tournament Be Selected by the Committee Win your Conference Championship So once all the conference championships are completed, the committee picks the rest of the bracket based on schedule, record, players, history, and try to get the best teams in.

Ha, one of my good friends is a big UNC fan so have a soft spot for them. In college sports I root for MSU and Washington. MSU have had a pretty indifferent year and Washington have been awful, even worse when you factor in they probably have the best player in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
