Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Villanova. The Final Four nobody wanted.

Speak for yourself... This is a great FF. Give me blue bloods every time, makes for better basketball. And if coach K leaves with a title.... Even sweeter

So why don’t you just adopt another team and beat it if your so enamored with blue blood basketball? You think anyone here gives a damn about your worshipping blue bloods?

Do you think I care? If Wichita's not in - I want good basketball. These 4 are the epitome of great basketball.

Excuse me for interrupting but, your thought on this matter indicates that non-blueblood are incapable of good basketball.
Blueblood hoops is generally a bunch of freshmen and sophomores who show more individual skills than team chemistry. There are exceptions because good coaches will hold those blue chip kids accountable. But the exceptions are rare these days.
Id rather see a team of less skilled jr's and seniors who play team ball.

Are the incapable? No. Does it happen on a regular basis? Definitely not. More talent = better basketball 99% of the time. Yesterday was a prime example of why I hate upsets for the most part. St Peters is not good and it showed yesterday. Makes for a boring elite eight game. Purdue/UNC would have been much more enjoyable.

We disagree or I'd watch the NBA over college and never watch high school.
personally, I can't stand pro ball, and college ball is beginning to emulate that with the kids jumping schools. They never develop the team chemistry that I used to enjoy.

Speaking of the NBA: I caught a game the other day and it was basically the dribbler and 4 teammates standing at the 3 pt. line. The ball went the other way and it was the dribbler and 4 teammates standing at the 3 pt. line. The ball went the other way, and...

Agreed, and totally logical. Upsets should never happen in competition. It would make it better. In fact, why play the games? Let a computer do it. More fun. Right Horn?

I get people enjoy them and it makes for a good story. I'm just saying... more times then not, that team gets destroyed in a boring game so they aren't for me.

Yes, because we've never seen a blue blood get blown out in a Final Four game before.

I'll probably skip the Final Four because I cut the cord awhile back and don't get TBS. I tried watching some games online via the NCAA's March Madness app, but had streaming issues unless they were only streaming one game. I think CBS is missing the boat by not putting the Final Four on Paramount Plus but it's probably a contract thing with the NCAA. Otherwise, even if people just did the free trial to watch it, they probably would have hooked in some new subscribers to the platform.

I have a few upset KU friends because we'll be celebrating the marriage of two friends and the game won't be on Saturday. I have no desire to watch any of these teams play and the only way I end up watching is if KU makes that championship game and we get together. I typically don't pass up opportunities to hang with my friends, but if we don't, I'll ignore that game too.

Did you not go with something like YouTube TV or Sling?
