Looking forward to whatever random school wins a couple of games. It will be a shame if one of the "Cinderalla" teams is Michigan. I want it to be a small school.

Wish we had a FCGU type school this year that everyone could get behind, not a ton of fun teams this year. I don't want to see one one of these defensive powerhouses win either because those are boring to watch.

For the first time since 2015, Boise State is in the field. Also, this may be their first time since about 2012ish where they aren't in a play-in game. First time in program history as conference champions as well. They don't have the best of draws as I expect them to be bounced in the first round but hey, they're never really been here before so let's go!

Not a huge college fan but I love following the tournament. Looking forward to seeing how Chet, Paolo, Jabari and Jaden Ivey look. Also fuck with the upsets

Things i'm looking forward to outside the typical "chaos" and "madness" answers

South Dakota St is electric offensively, 1st in the country in 3P% 12th in kenpom offensive efficiency. They could be a 3 point shooting version of FGCU's "Dunk City" run

Speaking on Dunk City that coach is at USC now, would not be shocked to see them upset Auburn/Wisconsin and make a fun Elite 8 run

San Fran - Murray State is going to be fun as hell, literally two of the top 5 mid major teams in the country going at it. Murray St still has key guys from their Ja Morant team that made the tourney. Winner of this game will give Kentucky a scare, and maybe even an upset

The UAB Houston game is going to be a DOG FIGHT, people are gonna be shocked how long UAB hangs around but Houston will pull it out.

Chattanooga WILL BEAT ILLINOIS. Illinois is a fraud. They are above average at everything but elite at nothing. Curbelo is a curse on the court. De Sousa gonna redeem himself after attacking Kansas St with a chair back when he was on Kansas' team

Tennessee is gonna make the final four or lose to Longwood, just feel like there is no inbetween there. Really love their team, if they were the 3 seed in ANY OTHER region i'd have them as a FF lock

The South is the region of death imo. Zona, Tennessee, Houston, Nova, ALL are capable final four teams. Other regions only have 1-2 imo. They also have my favorite MM's in Chattanooga, UAB, Longwood, and Loyola Chicago, and Wright State if they can hold on tonight!
