I know this is irrelevant, but it is funny that the top personality at ESPN, who is somewhat disconnected from college basketball and has never shown any interest in the university, selected A&M as part of their final four.

'First Take' closed out today going through their brackets for both the men's and women's tournaments.

In all seriousness, I think A&M has a shot at moving on to the Sweet 16 if they can defend better the 3-point line.

We're doomed

Nah, we will be fine this time around. It is redemption time (Buzz's sort of theme), and I think we will prevail against Nebraska. Now, the final four? I think Sweet 16 is our ceiling this year with all our shooting and defense limitations.

Stephen A. Smith saw my bracket picks!

In all seriousness, if we can get by Nebraska, I really like our path to the Elite Eight (Regional Final) game - where I have us beating Kentucky for the third time this year to get to the Final Four!

BTHO Nebraska to start it all this Friday!!!

so in both tourneys, Sharpe goes all chalk, way to put some effort into those brackets

It's over
We're so back <---

it was over from the time they paired us with NU. NU now has bulletin board material, we stole their AD, they will be out for revenge. The entire country will shut down on Friday to watch this grudge match, why do you thing ncaa screwed us over and paired us with them

Heard that Hoiberg had the managers and equipment staff working overnight to make hyper realistic Trev Alberts masks like the ones in Mission Impossible that their entire scout team is wearing all week.

so then the woman scout team will have Bill Byrne masks

All of a sudden I love Stephen A.

not a bad move. no one will care ir remember whrn A&M loses, but when we make the FINAL FOUR he will be king for a month, and he'll never let the world firget it.

It's not probable for sure but the way the SEC teams are spread out I feel like an all SEC final four isn't stupidly ridiculous. If don't think we'll be one of them but I certainly hope to be wrong. I wish they had put Kentucky or Florida in the East .

Smith probably watched one of our games and thinks we're better than we are. Probably Tennessee at Reed or one of the Kentucky games

8 #1 seeds.........?
