I am glad No. 2 Purdue defeated No. 11 Texas 79-77 in the Sweet 16. Bye Bye Longhorns!

Are you an AI bot? Because every post I've ever read from your user name screams "bot".

I think the law says that you have to admit it to us if you are.

This account was created 2 weeks ago. So its a sock puppet account for someone who posts more regularly under a different name or a new person who created account to troll TexAgs.

Houston such a dominant team according to staff..but they aren't. So funny that every team that beats us is world beaters…until they aren't.


Houston are world beaters against our roster unless they're just completely off all night. They got it together late 1h and rolled.

Tonight they're playing a team with much better talent than A&M and they're also off all night so far.

Don't get the dig at staff at all.

If you listen to staff after A&M loss Houston is all that. It's what happens when A@M loses. We are reminded of how good other teams are rather than how bad we played. Hang in there: you will figure it out.

The FanDuel sports book had Houston with the 4th highest odds of winning the championship of all teams entering the Sweet 16. These are objective experts who make a living analyzing these things. They thought Houston was elite.

But…I guess your patronizing tone is supposed to make everyone think you're smarter than them.

No, I have had the same TexAgs account since April 2, 2020.

He meant the guy attempting to demean you. I'll confess out of fun I referred to you as a GPT variant which wasn't very nice, but the goal was you post regularly and accurately and that your style is unusual is a benefit not a flaw:

Respect for the sips, season, what an incredible run.

But suck it sippies.

Yeah, the Sweet 16 run really turned the season around.

Shot lights out against Purdue from the field but cratered at the free throw line for most of the game which is a little ironic. Still a hard-fought game and no shame in losing in the last seconds against the 2 seed.

Both A&M and UT are happy with their new coaches.

I didn't have Houston getting run out of the building on my bingo. I actually thought they could have been a #1 with a legit shot to win it all.

Somehow my ESPN bracket is tied for #3,000 overall.

If Duke, ISU, UConn, Mich win I will have the entire Elite 8 correct and likely jump higher.

And there is still one perfect bracket on ESPN. They have Alabama winning it all. They also have St John's and MSU winning tonight.

Have to think that brackets going to get busted.

Really? I thought they were all busted by last round. Link?

The last bracket busted when Tennessee beat Virginia.

https://www.ncaa.com/live-updates/basketball-men/d1/were-tracking-all-games-perfect-brackets-2026-ncaa-tournament

The final perfect bracket has fallen.

No. 6 Tennessee's 79-72 win against No. 3 Virginia in the NCAA tournament second round eliminated the only remaining perfect bracket: "christienter" in ESPN's game. The last bracket made it to the 44th game of the tournament one game further than last year and the best run since Gregg Nigl got the first 49 games correct in 2019.

We started March Madness tracking around 36 million brackets in the major online games (Men's Bracket Challenge Game, ESPN, CBS, Yahoo!, USA Today, Sports Illustrated and Kalshi). We estimated more than 14,000 brackets were left after Thursday's 16 games and then 224 still perfect after the first round ended on Friday. We then lost all but four brackets after Saturday's eight games.

Here's how the last four brackets busted on Sunday:

Game No. 41: No. 2 Purdue def. No. 7 Miami (Fla.) 4 left
Game No. 42: No. 2 Iowa State def. No. 7 Kentucky 3 left
Game No. 43 No. 5 St. John's def. No. 4 Kansas 1 left
Game No. 44 No. 6 Tennessee def. No. 3 Virginia 0 left

That's weird, I looked and saw one at 100%.

Probably just the way ESPN rounds. I went in and looked at the bracket and they missed two first round games but they've gotten everything right since the round of 32. I guess that counts as 100% for espn.

that's percentile as in 1st place

St. John's is going to have trouble recruiting. I've heard no one wants to play fast, full court pressure for 40 minutes. They're punching Duke in the mouth but I'm sure they're just getting lucky.
I resolve in 2026 to be more tolerant and respectful of trolls and emotionally fragile, overly pessimistic posters so they don’t run crying to the mods and have me banned for three days.

Being a Boozer makes you college royalty. Being a Boozer at Duke makes you untouchable. The entire St. Jon's roster may foul out tonight.

Didn't like that foul call under the basket there. The St John's guy stiff armed the defender and cradled the ball like a running back. He ran for a 5-yard gain.

Super impressed by Sparty's comeback. They looked horrendous for the first 14 minutes or so.

Duke 24 free throws

Quite the FT disparity...

Duke: 24
St. John's: 8

Never fails when Duke's in close games.

LOL, GoAgs beat me to it. Deserves repeating, though.

I think late in the game it was legit but the refs absolutely slowed the game down and helped Duke get back into it in the half with the calls.

That said, St John's also just went ice cold late.
