The conference tournaments start this week. There will also be at large bids. We'll know the brackets on March 12th. There are many local teams I'll be rooting for in the tournament. Cincinnati, Xavier, Kentucky, Louisville, Dayton, and maybe even Northern Kentucky. I'll be curious who you pick for your final four and overall champion.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. The first 4 days are sports paradise.

Are we doing a Bengal board bracket challenge?

What the hell happened to X?   The last I heard, they one of the last 4 in.  And then I believe they went out on got beaten.  They have to be on a serious bubble now.

I'll second that.

Not sure. I'd be happy to join a Bengal Board bracket challenge on CBSSports or ESPN. Those are the only brackets I fill out.

I'm already in a REDSFAN group on CBSSports. BTW, no guarantee Xavier is dancing yet.

Lets Go Hawkeyes, Lets Go! 

After a rocky up and down season, the Hawkeyes are playing their best b-ball when it counts the most.  4-0 in their last 4 games.  Two of them on the road against 2 of the top 3 teams in the Big Ten.  I think all they need to do is win 2 games in the Big Ten tourney, and they punch their ticket to the big dance. 

I'm all for joining a BengalBoard bracket challenge!


Let's do this!  Come on Hawks!

Northern Kentucky punched their ticket tonight. Probably lose first game, but they're dancing.

Xavier is in. Now, just waiting for the brackets.

My final 4 teams are Villanova, Arizona, Kansas, and Kentucky this year. Don't think Villanova will repeat. Any one of these could win it all.

I've got Duke, Arizona, Louisville, and UNC. 

We'll find out in a few weeks. Get ready to throw your brackets out after the weekend.

My Final Four is

Duke
Notre Dame
Iowa State
UCLA

3 from the ACC.  I guess it shows how tough that conference is.  (Or else you're a fan of one of those teams, lol)

Going out on a limb this year I see. No top seeds? Well balanced teams this year I guess.

I do live in Louisville, but I could care less if they win. I'm originally from Columbus, but it's been a while since the buckeyes did anything. RIP Aaron Craft

Xavier moving on to round 2. Go X!

SMU out in the first round hurts my brackets. Rather surprised.
