It's possible that NC State gets to the Final Four by beating the two schools it beat in their previous two national championship games (Marquette and Houston). The last time NC State played Marquette was in fact for that 1974 Championship. It's also possible that NC State would have to go through Duke to get the Final Four, only to play UNC for the Title, repeating what they faced in the ACC Tournament. The story lines here are intriguing for the Wolfpack.
Houston was called for some pretty sketch touch fouls throughout and 4 of their best players fouled out. If one or two of them stay in a couple minutes longer, A&M doesn't come back much at all and it ends comfortably in regulation.
@@joinjen3854Up 12 points with 2 minutes left is close? I wouldn’t say so. That comeback was lightning in a bottle and Houston should be fine. A&Ms entire offense was sprint to the hoop and throw up a shot in order to get a foul
Fun to see the Carolina's have a full 4 out of the final Sweet 16 teams. A quarter of all of the teams still playing are from the Carolina's and the ACC. Everyone thought the ACC was down this year, but actually playing games show the ACC is still the dominate basketball conference in the US.
I think you're underestimating how well Clemson is playing right now. They've been underdogs in both of their games and not only won both but only trailed for a total of 31 seconds the entire time. I like AZ to beat them but it won't be as easy as you think. As an underdog again they're playing with house money and have nothing to lose.
With the teams are more familiar with. I tried to base my prediction, based on how they’re playing toward the end of the season most of the time that works, but not always.
@@Aler_rl You would be very surprised if a 2 seed beat an 11 lol? Colorado went into the Marquette game winning 10 of their last 11 games, they were no joke. No disrespect to NC State because they've been on an incredible run, but they are not nearly talented enough to keep winning like they have been. I think Marquette beats them pretty comfortably.
In my opinion this year the ones and two seeds are the cream of the crop.... I usually don't pick ones and twos to make it to the final four... But I think this year they're just too good
I think you’ll get 2 out of your final 4 picks on point. East and the Midwest. The south region will have Duke advance if Houston plays like they did against A&M. The west bracket I had Clemson beating UNC to go to the final 4. (Bama beating UNC was a mild surprise). Clemson already beat Bama once, it will be a challenge to beat them again. Too many people slept on Clemson and the ACC this year in general. Pitt, Wake forest and Syracuse all had teams that potentially could have made a run like NC state did. The out of conference record for Clemson and the top half of ACC teams really shows that the brand of basketball in the ACC is solid, and they deserved to have more teams ranked in the AP all year, and they were underrepresented.) I think the ACC has a lot of good teams between #2- #35 in the country I’m not sure why the ACC is getting so many teams snubbed in the top 25. In the NCAA tournament each year they usually back aquit themselves in the tournament nicely. The toughest one to pick for me was the Purdue vs. Zags. The winner of that will play And beat creighton.
If they can upset Arizona, Clemson already beat Alabama and UNC this year.... 🤷♂️ and I wanna see that big mfer from NC state bang around Zach Edey a couple times, might be the only one left that can lol
I'm doing better than I've done in years on my bracket. In the 95 percentile with 13 of 16 Sweet 16 teams. 7 of 8 of my Elite 8 picks are still active and 3 of 4 Final 4 teams. I picked Baylor to reach the Final 4 so that's hurt me. Both my championship game teams are still going too.
No credit to either of koleks performances for Marquette casual? Yes the almost lost to a Colorado team with multiple nba draft picks on there current roster, look at how well Colorado shot from three in the second half along with their big man and lmk if you’re taking Colorado to NC state, at least make it seem like you know what you’re talking about
I’m glad therefore ACC teams in this week 16 but I did not think Clemson and Duke would advance figured Baylor was the better team and I didn’t expect James Madison to go out and lay egg against Duke
Big East continues to be under-rated. Only get 3 in tournament, but all 3 make the Sweet 16. At the opposite end is the SEC, over-rated as usual. 8 teams in tournament, 2 in Sweet 16. Most of their losses were "upsets" by seeding. St John's should've made it. I think UConn will repeat.
My strategy has always been to take Big East, then ACC...and NEVER Big 10 (the most overrated conference with the most selections....for the last 50 years), thus, I'll stick with my original final 4 of 3 Big East teams with NC, with UCONN over Creighton in championship game...my other selection has the same final four with UCONN over Marquette. Predicting Iowa State over Illinois and Gonzaga over Purdue...

I agree. Its a longshot, but not impossible.
Yessir, literally anything is possible from here on out
Here we go again against duke

Houston let's teams stay close. They were 12 points up with 2 minutes to go.
@@joinjen3854 up 12 with 2 minutes to go is a pretty strong position…

@@loganklein5031 I think he’s saying it should’ve been over when Houston was up by that much but they let A&M stay in it and force OT
@@logandombroski1179 SHE is saying, as in Jen.

This tournament is too chalky
Why does that matter?
Better matchups then. Throw in a couple upsets and it’s best
it's for the best. cinderellas are fun, but they always get stomped by an elite team in the F4/natty. We're set up to have some really good matchups

Totally agree slick. New Mexico and Baylor are solid teams. CLEMSON can handle Arizona.
I have 13 of the 16 teams correct in the sweet 16:)
congrats you picked all chalk
@@FloatingOnXimYou’re criticizing someone for picking correctly? What would you rather they did?
No, I didn’t see Clemson making it. I picked a lot of upsets but it fixed it self in the next round.
Let’s not forget that Iowa state smacked Houston
Purdue is 7-0 this year vs the rest of the Sweet 16 with wins against Illinois (2), Marquette, Alabama, Arizona, Gonzaga, and Tennessee. Just sayin’.
With the teams are more familiar with. I tried to base my prediction, based on how they’re playing toward the end of the season most of the time that works, but not always.
NC State we are playing for a championship watch the WolfPack move on don’t underestimate us 🔴⚪️🐺🏀🏆 we doing it for Jimmy V in his honor.
Marquette is a sleeper for the final 4
They almost lost to Colorado. If they beat NC State, I will be very surprised.
@@Aler_rl You would be very surprised if a 2 seed beat an 11 lol? Colorado went into the Marquette game winning 10 of their last 11 games, they were no joke.

@@TurboFist0bet on it, lol. Not sure if we’re watching the same NC State team or not. These guys are talented and have size. Good luck
I see you will be disappointed if Purdue took it all
great graphic and commentary, keep it up!
I LOVE people picking against the Zags!!
Let’s not forget Purdue has beat Tennessee and Gonzaga this year already
Houston just keeps on winning! We in Houston don't care who they play!! You have no Faith
I agree with you on 3 of your final 4 picks, I think North Carolina is going to make it to the final 4 instead of Arizona, but not a bad prediction.
I have a hard time picking against Purdue, even though i am a Tennessee fan😮
PURDUE WINS IT ALL!!!!!! 🏆
10 Million $$$$ Bet!!!! Str8 up
No spread!!!!! Right NOW!!!!!
Chalk year this year. Last year was exciting seeing FAU in the final four.
In my opinion this year the ones and two seeds are the cream of the crop.... I usually don't pick ones and twos to make it to the final four... But I think this year they're just too good
Chreiton will be a tough out. They let the game come to them they don't force it.
Bro absolutely hates marquette for no good reason
It is interesting that the Sportsbooks only favor Purdue by 4.5 so that is a pick em vs the Zags.
What does this mean
@saraschlup2259 they have Purdue winning by 4.5 points which means they are hardly favored Zags were favored to Kansas by 6.5 points and won by 21.
Purdue is tough to pick against especially with the big man.
yes dude please keep picking against iowa state its working
Why do you keep picking against Marquette?They are clearly the better Team!
Yeah NC States Cinderella run ends in the sweet 16.
NC state has won their last seven beating duke and UNC idk either how they’ve been playing they should be a 3 seed
@Monarchclipz Yeah I kinda like them, but overall I think Marquette is a better team. NC State has been on a roll lately.
@@Monarchclipz they’re due a loss
North Carolina has beaten top schools in their last 7 games I got my bag on NC State
You should do a video about the host arenas besides state farm stadium.
I think you’ll get 2 out of your final 4 picks on point. East and the Midwest. The south region will have Duke advance if Houston plays like they did against A&M.
The west bracket I had Clemson beating UNC to go to the final 4. (Bama beating UNC was a mild surprise). Clemson already beat Bama once, it will be a challenge to beat them again.

After last years unchalky tournament , this one is getting back to normal .
also funny to think if wade taylor was another millimeter behind the 3 point line with 15 secs left a&m would’ve won
I think he has had Iowa state lose every round
All the best players on mid major teams ended up on power conference teams due to NIL. Not suprised to see it like this
Betting against creightons big 3, really almost a big 4 with the way ashworth has been playing, is laughable
Ziegler is gonna punk that 40yr old
"You're not gonna blow everyone out by 20, 30 points"...
That's LITERALLY what UConn did last year.
If they can upset Arizona, Clemson already beat Alabama and UNC this year.... 🤷♂️ and I wanna see that big mfer from NC state bang around Zach Edey a couple times, might be the only one left that can lol
New Mexico and Baylor are solid teams. Clemson can handle Arizona.
I am getting a perfect second chance bracket don’t worry 😂

Come back to this bracket after the sweet sixteen lol. I think you’ll end up only getting one or two games right /8
Watched this after Sweet 16 was over Got 5 Elite 8 teams right. Have two Final Four left, both teams in National Championship out.
You made pretty good picks Depressed Ginger!
I'll take UCONN, NC, Houston & Creighton. Houston over UCONN in the title game ...
I’m glad therefore ACC teams in this week 16 but I did not think Clemson and Duke would advance figured Baylor was the better team and I didn’t expect James Madison to go out and lay egg against Duke
Underestimate Duke all you want. Jon Scheyer has them boys balling right now.
Uccon always ended up with an easier run in march Madness. It happened last year and it is happening again.
Duke is comin 🔵😈
NC state all the way #DJBurnsJR
Why do you hate Marquette
Its so annoying
They fucked the times this year making the east coast games the latest of the day everyday
Htown!!!!!!!
Roll Tide 🐘
almost 100k lets go

1s and 2s all winning happens all the time
UConn will not lose
i have the exact same picks except for arizona beating uconn

Purdue already beat Gonzaga and Tennessee in the Maui invitational at the beginning of the season just saying.
Let’s go Marquette
I got 12 of the 16 teams right. Not bad for not being an “expert”.
I got 13 my boy:)
@@Tuffster Good for you. Some years I put more effort into it, and dont see the results, so I kinda 1/2 way guessed this year.
I Got 15!
same i got 12
"Who really cares about the second chance bracket it's irrelevant". Then why are you filling it out? LOL
Let’s go Illini
This is exactly my bracket tf
UCONN wins championshipship. I can’t go against the Huskies as much as I like NC State
The mighty zags will best Purdue
Arizona just lost 😞
“Chalky tournament” yeah cuz the better teams WON, enough said!
Lol at people thinking he hate their teams because he don't pick them.
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved I love yall and God bless y'all
Might be the worst tournament in history. no upsets and almost all blowouts
Duke is about to beat Houston
@@BRNRDNCK lol
No way zona beats uconn
Buzz coached his fanny off propelled the Aggies against the cougars. Survive and advance.
buddy hates marquette...
Duke v NC State
Is my prediction, don’t @ me
Duke is to young
For the Natty?!!
Bro made it clear he’s never watched March Madness before 😭
Ginger cannot stop sleeping on Clemson. 🛌 💤😴 They’ve won every game yet he continues to pick against them. When will he wake up?
True. Clemson making final 4 just watch
Every team left has won every game
Worlds biggest Clemson hater, never ever give them credit, always the other team played bad
Baylor did indeed play bad
@@Turftalkpodor clemsons defense is just really good? never giving them any credit
bama is gonna win it all
I will take SDSU and the points all day,,,,,hahaha
I'm sure it will be an upset to make it a toss up on who takes the tournament
Sleeping on Arizona
