He's not a great offensive player but for sure they didn't get him the ball anywhere near enough.

Yeah, when your 7 ft and as in shape as he is, learning to position yourself in the post and make bunnies is all you need.

has anyone else found that as they get older, they just don't care about the tournament like they used to? I don't know if it's because there just aren't the stars in college basketball anymore or dynasties which were always fun to watch/root for to lose, but the tourney, while still great and watchable, has just lost it's luster for me a little bit over the years.

It's the same here. I can't get into college basketball unless I'm wanting to scout a player for the NBA. I think it's harder to follow college basketball until later in the tournament if one does not follow college basketball regularly. It helps to have a team to follow.

Have felt this way for years now... Of course I'm about to turn 52 so that could have something to do with it.
But seriously, the one & done part of college basketball makes it very, very hard for me to get into it.

Whooda thunk?
Yale, Hawaii, MTSU, Little Rock, Zags , etc.
I've got 3 left for the Finals.
Xavier, Tex A & M, Virginia. Good luck with that.

Who did you lose in the South?

Frank Kaminsky is my Hero.
This year is the very reason that the tournament is still one of the largest events in American sports. So much unpredictability and entertainment. I mean, that MTSU win against MSU is historic.

I guess yes although I think for me it's because UCLA sucks and isn't in it this year.
But even last year it didn't occur to me to take a day off. There was a time I always called in sick to watch the first day.

That's got to be among the biggest tourney upsets since it expanded.
I wasn't even watching I kept seeing the score and assuming MSU would eventually pull away.
With USC out I have nobody to root against so I guess now I want Kansas to win because I picked them in my pool.
SDSU had a chance to upset Maryland but their coach decided it was a good idea not to call timeout with his PG on the bench and 12 seconds left in the freaking game lol... Still a great game tho

Good post and question... As for me I'm not sure. I've never been a big March Madness guy. I just mean like I have some friends who take this whole week off work, setup 4 TVs, play in 20 brackets...
I've always been moderately interested at best. Do I guess I would say my interest level has been maintained at Luke warm.

I'm pretty sure Norfolk St over Mizzou had a larger spread than MSU vs MTST.
Then again, when it comes to epic failures I just naturally first go to Mizzou

Lots of people thought MSU was going to win it all this year. I don't recall good Missouri was that year?
Basically what people were saying going into this though it's the most wide open tournament in ages.
I picked Kansas because they were the best team I personally saw. I watched less hoops this year so most of my frame of reference is UCLA and they were easily the best team we saw all year.
Of what I saw so far in the tourney, they are playing as well as anybody.

Lopes Up!
My bracket is busted. I had MSU winning it all.
I can't wait till GCU gets invited to the NCAA Tournament.

Oregon and Utah were the only ones who ever had a chance anyways. I think we'll see both those teams in the final four.
Cal. Did not know they lost their PG until after the bracket was locked. I still would have taken them 1st round, but not much further.
I will never tire of the tournament. The regular season drags, but WTH.
This year, some new exposure and under the radar players emerging on the national scene if only for a month. Who can't fall in love with the likes of Giddy Potts, Thomas Walker, Makai Mason, et al? Next game another new name.
So many upsets. I love it. Poor Texas.:-(
