    A dislocated knee cap might keep 4-time major champion Brooks Koepka from the Masters next month. He had surgery today (3/23) and says he's hopeful to play in the tournament, but went on to say “Whatever my body says, I’m going to listen.”

    How someone can have knee surgery and play in the Masters just over two weeks later sounds a little crazy to me, but I guess he also has some of the best doctors and physical therapists at his disposal so maybe he can pull it off.

    If I were a betting man, I'd bet that he's out this year, but maybe he will surprise us all.

    I'm a-ok with this becoming permanent. I honestly stopped watching the NBA for awhile because some god awful teams were making the playoffs. I started wondering why they were having a regular season at all. Personally, I think the playoffs should be a reward for being a good or great team during the regular season and not because you want to allow as many teams in so there's a chance for a "Cinderella" story.

    It's kind of a no-brainer to not allow tens of thousands of people from basically every country in the world into one small area until we've reached some resemblance of herd immunity. If it means that the Olympics can go on (albeit a year late) then I'm just fine with it.

    You and me both! I still don't "get it," but apparently I'm becoming increasingly isolated with that feeling. To each his own though, so if it's exciting for people to watch other people play video games then who am I to judge?!

    The 2021 Sweet 16 field is set and it looks wayyyyyyyy different than my bracket!

    Three teams - 11 seed Syracuse, 12 seed Oregon State, and 15!!! seed Oral Roberts all defied the odds and punched their tickets to the Sweet 16. Oral Roberts becomes only the second 15 seed team to make it to the Sweet 16.

    I wrote Oral Roberts off in round both of the first rounds and the round of 32, so I'm going to withhold any prediction on them moving forward! I guess I'm a huge Big 10 (Illini) fan, and probably should root for Michigan, but I'm putting all my cheering vibes towards Loyola moving forward.

    How's your bracket looking? Is it as completely busted as mine or did you somehow make some of the best guesses in the world?!

    I actually like how the game is being played outside of the overtime rules. I enjoy watching the NFL over the NCAA, but one thing I do like about college ball is how they do their overtime. It makes it far more exciting, at least in my opinion.

    They certainly are kicking butt and taking names. History says that their luck will eventually run out, but who knows? Maybe they will surprise us all and make a deep run into the tourney.

    My beloved Fighting Illini became the first #1 seed to go down in the 2021 NCAA Basketball Tournament, abruptly ending their best season in well over a decade.

    I am still a bit in shock after watching their loss, especially since I really believed they had a legitimate shot at winning it all this year. Going down in the round of 32 just doesn't seem right.

    That's what "win or go home" is all about though. I gotta give credit to Loyola Chicago for being the better team in the game. Being from Illinois, I guess this will be the team I'll be rooting for going forward.

    I bet it feels pretty awesome being able to say that your alma mater probably busted tens of millions of brackets this year!

    They looked pretty solid against a pretty good Purdue team. The BIG 10 was a powerhouse this year and they held their own and were able to secure a 5 seed, so kudos to North Texas.

    Who knows how far they will go. They beat a 4 seed, so it wouldn't be shocking if they beat 5 seed Villanova. Now that my bracket is fully busted, I'm going to be rooting for all the underdogs.

    I thought I had a pretty solid bracket for this years NCAA tournament. I didn't blindly pick all No. 1 seeds to go to the Final Four and had a general understanding of most major teams strengths and weaknesses. Then Oral Roberts had to come in and blow everything up!

    I was one of the unfortunate people who had Ohio State going not just to the Elite Eight, but all the way to the Final Four. Mind you, I had them losing to Illinois in the Final Four, but that certainly doesn't matter anymore. Add in the fact that North Texas beat Purdue and my bracket is now pretty much worthless. It's a good thing that half the winnings of the bracket I play in goes to charity.

    So, is anyone's bracket not completely busted yet? Did YOU pick Oral Roberts to take down Ohio State? If so, I would love to meet you in Vegas sometime so you could be my good luck charm!
