NCAA Tournament Second “Weekend” Open Thread

Over the past 23 NCAA Tournaments, the Michigan State Spartans have been in the second weekend more than they haven’t. Sadly this year marks the latter, but there are still plenty of college hoops fans in general among us who will be enjoying the weekend of games (and the Elite 8 on Monday and Tuesday).

With that in mind, feel free to hang around and hate on team(s) left we all hate. Obviously one in particular more than the other 15 if we are being honest. Please keep it clean(ish) and within community guidelines.
