Yeah, looking at Vegas odds, EW drew Gonzaga's bracket, which is the toughest to try to pull the upset. However, I don't think their opponent, Kansas, will go far.
Michigan's bracket is the one I would lay some upset coin on, in the early rounds. Baylor's bracket in the later rounds.

Just a warning. KU was getting on a roll before they got COVID. They beat Baylor pretty good at the end of the regular season. As Big 12 people we have to kind of root for KU in the tournament...but if EWU were to upset them we are actually smiling on the inside.

My flailing Sooners will get the Zags if we win in the first round. Nobody around here thinks we have a prayer but I think Gonzaga would give us a chance to see where we are. The Big XII has five teams that are really good and we had nail biters in all those games with those teams. So I hope we get to measure up against Gonzaga.

Yeah, 25/1 odds for the Jayhawks is fair. But I'd lay down a C note on WVA, or maybe TX.
Tough year for my ACC. But I'd like to see FSU get to the F4.

Bottom line this tournament will likely gain high ratings. Thanks in part to it being cancelled last year. Plus some very popular high seeded teams. Let’s get it on!

I have rarely seen people in Seattle area who care about Gonzaga at all. I wouldn't know if they are playing.

I'm a U of Washington Husky fan first and foremost when it comes to NCAA Division I men's college basketball, but, they're not in it and the Zags are from Washington state, so that counts for me. Plus, Mark Few is a really good Head Coach and it would be fitting for him to finally get a title.

Go Zags!

Strange.....as almost all Gonzaga games were televised in the Seattle area, Root did most, ESPN and FS did the rest. Not sure if the Huskies got any televised in Seattle unless you paid for PAC 12 sports.

Root is available on cable only. That's why so many people complained that Seattle Kraken signed a contract with Root and their games will not be available for streaming online because this channel is still living in the 1980s.

Interesting, FYI satellite providers carries Root and all the rest of the sports channels...
I guess many people in the Seattle area aren't really Mariners fans either because most of their games are on Root also. I suggest sports fans in Seattle quit being so cheap and get either cable or Satellite.... that's if they are really sports fans to start with.
I can not image any follower of varies sports not having cable or satellite to view stations like numerous ESPN channels, NFL channel, MLB channel, NHL channel, Golf channel, Tennis channel, Root, FS1 which carries most of the Seawolves games, FS2 which carries a lot of team like Boise State and E Wash, SEC, or Big 10 sports channels. I am sure I miss a few but I am sure you get the point I am trying to make.
