I'm not a bball fan at all but I'm hooked on Madness. That's some good ball. Kids playing their hearts out. Haven't seen a bad game yet.

My kids went to Marquette, so we are huge fans of the Golden Eagles. Before that, we always watched the Madness as much as we could

I've watched a few minutes of a game here and there but not a full one. Watching that player from U of Vermont hyper extend his knee in the closing minutes in their first round game was tough to watch.

My son is into it, watching how his bracket does.  I watch a game here and there.  High quality b'ball.

Hoping Oakland could have won yesterday to get to the sweet 16. And this board should have a soft sport for them, as OU allows clubs to auto cross on their lots.

Not a  great sportsball fan but ,with 2 degrees from UNC, I follow them.  I hope they go all the way and that NC State does well.  Anxiously anticipating Dooks defeat by any other team.

I have not, but my sons HS Division I basketball team made it to the Ohio State final for on Saturday, but that is as far as it went unfortunately.

I'm am not a basketball fan. 

That said, I live in Raleigh, and everybody is talking about the tournament. The checkout people at the supermarket are listening to it on the radio. Display TVs at Costco are turned to it. It's a fever in this area, especially since all three of the local teams are in the tournament. The closeness of the competition in some of the games is making for electrifying games.

NC State's run to the ACC title and their work in the NCAA tournament so far has won my appreciation. This has nothing to do with the fact that that is where my wife went. I am not under any sort of duress at all.  Go Pack!

Well, it's been said Shaka Smart is overrated as a coach cause he can't get to the second weekend. Marquette on to the second weekend. Nice to have our point guard back healthy after an oblique injury. Being a fan of this team, it's cool to hear a coach with as much enthusiasm as Smart has for his guys. Can't help but get caught up in it.

Class of 19...never mind.  Before Storrs became cosmopolitan.

Big Geno Auriemma fan here.

I root for the local team to get knocked out early (or not even make it in, like this year) because I don't want to listen to the nonstop media coverage. So, no.
