For 3M, Tell us what you are most excited about for March Madness. (Specific player to watch, a team, a rivalry in the bracket, maybe this year cinderella?) if you don't know much about college hoops this year you can instead tell us your favourite March Madness moment from the past.

[Hooper]

-Michigan gets in and gets a relatively favorable roll in a toss up game per Kenpom and the most overseeded team based on BPI
-Gonzaga, Duke, and Texas Tech could have all been final 4 picks for me in the right regions. Def my region of death this year
-MIDwest region is aptly named. That should be a wild one
-Murray State and San Fran first round looks like a banger
-My Cinderella this year would be Virginia Tech

[Panic!]

Not following ncaab much this year because the lakers have no picks.
Favorite moment elite eight kihei clark to diakite to overtime.

[CLB3]

I went to Bryant University, so I'm most interested seeing them play. They have the leading scorer in the nation, you never know...

[brooks]

I’ve been loosely following because MN sucks terribly this year. However, I’m extremely excited to watch Chet blow up even more on the national stage. He’s insane.

[Lerkwins418]

Looking forward to the tournament ending so the focus can be back on real basketball. Favorite moment was watching Hayward miss the half court shot that would’ve won Butler the natty over Duke

[yrtb]

tbh I don't follow college ball very closely. But I love making brackets so I'll be invested for a couple weeks which should be fun. Loyola Chicago's run in 2018 and Sister Jean was fun

[Username]

I don’t follow at all but what I do remember seeing is

-Kemba step back GW
-Wisconsin losing in the natty to Duke

So Kemba step back is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in college basketball


I also enjoyed watching FVV during March madness when he was at Wichita. Mostly cause he’s from Rockford.

[hokeyrules]

Looking forward to UConn or UM winning it all. Hopefully Diabate has a good tourny

That Kemba shot was in the conference tourney but I agree, that was my favourite game winner I’ve seen in CBB

[mngopher35]

Lol so we all really loved that Kemba shot I guess. That is the standout that came to mind for me as well when I read the question.

As for this tournament I am excited to watch some of the elite young prospects like Chet and Paolo. That Gonzaga/Duke game earlier in the year was pretty good and finished close and I think they can see each other in the elite 8, hope we get that matchup.

[SoftLettuce]

Don't follow NCAAB a lot until the tourney, bandwagon I know, but I genuinely root for chaos all the time. Nothin less than absolutely crazy, insane, chaotic games will do it for me. I'm also an MIZ fan so I don't have a lot to be excited for.

[Cloud]

I mean every single second of it for me but if I have to pick something specific it would be my Alma Matter in Indiana, as well as the team I grew up around and a diehard fan of San Diego State. Both have a decent chance to go on a sweet 16 run.

[Xxplayerxx23]

Based on bets I’ve made since it became legal UCLA USC GOING HOME EARLY. Looking forward to that. Think Duke makes a solid run but falls short.

[LukaSZN]

Talking to people around the league, Ivey seems really controversial. I’ve seen him at #1 and #5 in mocks. Just want my own sense of him.

[the_jon]

Most excited to see Chet dominate. Hes going to be really exciting I think. Most people seem to have him going number 1 in the draft.

[GB]

I love March madness, not a huge college hoops regular season fan mostly because I don’t have a team in the fight. But madness is one of it not the best sporting event going. I can’t wait to see what low seed makes a run, there’s always something fun.

[Foreman]

I'm looking forward to the chaos and I enjoy watching some smaller schools guard go off for like 30 and cause an upset.

[BradS4President]

I love March Madness. Won’t be able to watch the first few days, but usually Thursday and Friday are my favorite two basketball days of the years.

Watching the Davidson run from 2008 has to be one of my favorite memories from the NCAA tournament. A player from my hometown was on that squad with Steph Curry. Remember them almost upsetting Kansas in the Elite Eight.

[AiRuPtHeRe™]

Love seeing upsets - love seeing big time plays, dunks etc . Seeing random guys go OFF in the tourney is so fun to see.

[Donkey]

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.

[Nate]

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!

[NotTheKings]

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

[The Godfather]

I'd like to see both USC and SDSU make a run at sweet 16... and then let the Chips fall where they may...

[NCツ]

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!
