2023 March Madness

[JEBar]

the regular season is pretty much over and conference tournaments are underway ... we are following the ACC Tournament .... some close games but no real first round shockers .... looking forward to Notre Dame vs Virginia Tech game that is getting ready to tip off .... we are pulling for the Irish but the talking heads are all picking the Hokies

[JEBar]

2 out of the 3 first night games in the ACC Tournament were close -- Georgia Tech 61, Florida State 60 & Virginia Tech 67, Notre Dame 64 --- the third not so much Boston College 80, Louisville 62

there are 4 games on tap for today ---- in the first game Wake Forest beat Syracuse’s 77-74 ---- 2:30 Georgia Tech vs. Pitt --- 7:00 Boston College & University of NC ---- 9:30 Virginia Tech & NC State

[JEBar]

busy day for North Carolina schools in the ACC Tournament

12:00 Wake Forest vs Miami

2:30 Duke vs Pitt

7:00 University of NC vs Virginia Tech

9:00 NC State vs Clemson

[JEBar]

Miami put Wake Forest out this morning and Duke dominated Pitt in the second

[JEBar]

well, Duke is the only team from a university in our area left in the ACC Tournament .... the Blue Devils go against Miami's Hurricanes at 7PM

[JEBar]

Duke was ahead most of the game but never by much ... ended up taking Miami 85 to 78 in a game that got pretty ragged in the last few minutes

[JEBar]

well, Virginia and Duke will settle the championship tonight .... while pulling for Duke, I wouldn't be willing to bet much more than a Coke on them

[JEBar]

Duke topped a very good Virginia team by 10 .... 59 - 49 .... while Duke was in front from the opening tip but never by enough to be comfortable

[JEBar]

Pitt is the only ACC team up tonight when they go up against Mississippi State

The Texas Longhorns beat Kansas Jayhawks two of three meetings this year and the last time for the Big 12 championship. Kansas still is Home seed and Texas Forum and playing Colgate on Thursday night. I hope we have a long run in this year's NCAA tourney. If you can't beat a team named after a toothpaste.... welllll.....

[JEBar]

March Madness indeed .... first day, first round --- No. 13 seed Furman takes out No.4 seed Virginia .... while No.14 seed Princeton took our No.2 seed Arizona

[JEBar]

Duke really looked strong taking Oral Roberts 74 - 51

[JEBar]

Creighton took out NC State by a score of 72 - 63

[JEBar]

how about No 16 Fairleigh Dickinson taking out No 1 seed Purdue .... now that's something you don't see often ..

[JEBar]

looking forward to today's Duke vs Tennessee game that is supposed to tip off at 2:30
