Dude in the green tie must have been snorting some lines before this segment.

[@joshuacarrig9370]

I love how there are two green ties on the set but we all know exactly who you mean. lol

[@loyaltychizzle7320]

Dark green tie name? Kept missing it. This guy would b a great streamer. Very entertaining. Co hosts aggravated with him lol

[@garce7039]

Yeah, he's being a complete d-bag. Bet you like Pat McAfee too.....

[@davecacese616]

Tim Doyle

[@breezemastermma3544]

Tim Doyle is a savage and a must listen to. Literally don’t even care if his picks are good or not 🤣 what entertainment. This by far the most fun bracketology show yet. Thanks for the info and laughs

[@ModernMozart1104]

dude is poised to say the most unhinged thing ever at each turn. IF YOU PICK UCONN TO WIN MORE THAN TWO GAMES YOU LITERALLY WEAR A TOOTOO IN THE OVAL OFFICE I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL TAKE PICTURES OF YOU DANCIN' FOOL.

[@totalbodyperformancefitnes4813]

If there is one man that just epitomizes frat life it’s the dude in the green tie. When I think of college debauchery, this is the man I see. Dude is funny and has loads of energy but sounds like he’s been boozing with the bros playing beer pong outside of kappa sig with Milwaukees beast.

[@AspireGMD]

Yeah Tim Doyle is always fun as hell.

[@benburnside5049]

Dude in the Green Tie was entertaining as hell in this segment.

Lmao. Dude in dark green tie is foooocked up. Slurring his words badly 😅😂

Nah hes just italian

[@abfromhsv9580]

Don't let these experts be in your head when you fill out your brackets. Go with your gut!

[@jhuntthehustler2547]

Y’all are crazy if you think Yale beats Auburn. Auburn has the most depth in the tournament. The play 10-12 guys. And they are hot. Should have been a 3 seed.

[@Manning_Yost1820]

Committee botched this bracket in historic fashion, esp. the seeding. Indefensible on several fronts.

Anyone looking for betting advice, just best the dog in every game.

Dude in dark green tie was sooooo sure that McNeese was a lock but they got their a**es handed to them. GO ZAGS!

[@ThePittas]

Tim Doyle ❤

[@moxmann]

These tournaments are so crazy it kind of makes since to listen to the craziest guy. Or at least the highest one, because to win you have to be high when you make some of these picks. My neighbor plays for Gonzaga so I'm going with McNeese 😂😂😂

[@user-ki7zc8oe3l]

I only hope that after this tournament we as nm will never ever be mistaken for the nm st. Aggies agian .get it lobo up your a hole🎉

[@GymLone]

overthinking the michigan st game... see this too many times........................

[@christopherstuckey8198]

These damn guys picking Yale over auburn ? Like Auburn gets disrespected all the time. Yale on a buzzer beater for an ivy championship compared to auburn who has all but one of our wins in double digits. Auburn rolls Yale 15+

[@JalenNed]

lmao

[@doc8013]

Yeah, major disrespect. Disrespect for the SEC in general I think.

[@jaredflanery2715]

completely agree, from a kentucky fan. Auburn will dog walk yale

[@steven.events]

Good call.

[@Travion728]

Update?

[@dariusfisher8771]

21:28 “I love a lot of legs you know that” that’s jus outrageous smh

[@swishdish720]

Green tie man kissing Duke too much lol 😂😂

[@GymLone]

clemson. so many great wins!..... lists OK wins....

[@GymLone]

I never pick baylor! (won the title in 2020-21)

[@robertpalatsky5017]

I like UNC to win it all. Got the guards AND the veteran leadership. Plus, the title is OFTEN won by a blueblood program, not always a top seed, but we'll see...

[@Syphaxx5]

I picked unc as well

[@giantslayer473]

Seriously, I noticed last year when and where KY played, the rims were solid, meaning they didn't give, or clang, when the ball hit. And Reeves, Toppin, had poor shooting against KSU. No, I'm not making excuses, not the point of my query. Im sincerely asking, are ALL rims in the tourney set the same, in every venue, or no? One would think, if your team shoots a lot more shots than the avg team, and they're not used to this, it could favor a defensive minded team (like Virginia). If I'm a shooter, I'd prefer a little give/bounce. Just wondering.

[@sethstine4698]

Only a 11% chance that all the #1 seeds make the Final Four

[@messi12knight]

what about all #2 seeds?

[@R.I.P.]

Boise St v Colorado are 26 - 24 (Colorado) at the half

[@TadashiNazuka]

Does Tim Doyle truly believe that much that Mcneese will beat Gonzaga? No way. Don't believe that hype.

[@GymLone]

Nevada v Dayton a top 5 match-up in the first round? what do you mean? like top 5 in their respective conferences matchup?

[@warhawk9466]

Too 5 in terms of matchups in the first round

[@ictguy455]

Which one to pick? Mcneese or Samford?

[@SosaDecodes]

😂

[@myworldofsports1376]

Yale will get blow out. 14 or more Auburn more than covers

[@nsls8223]

😂

[@sherodq5372]

He took some shots for St. Patrick's day..I mean it was a little obvious maybe it shouldn't have been lol

[@JunkYardCardGuy]

BEWARE: There's gonna be "upset city" and a REAL chance to see 4 teams in the Sweet Sixteen with double digit seeds!! McNeese plays like a Butler, or Wichita State or VCU. They're a team of real men, and they can REALLY play.

[@geneszmanski]

the men still have an a tournament?

[@Larry-gb6ss]

If you don’t listen to Matt Norlander that’s on you , nobody knows more college basketball than him

[@jackheintz9747]

He did not, in fact, call them San Diego State.

[@jpzjaypeezy]

Doyle (green tie) should have been in the car with the O'Doyle's in Billy Madison when it flew off the road and blew up. What a jackass

[@drewc771]

Got Kentucky at 32 to 1 to win at all. Probably won't, but worth a shot at those odds, imo.

[@stevenjm12]

Not really

[@richardrider1422]

Everyone doubting Kansas! Y’all on crack if you think bill self gonna choke this one

[@obryanmoon1103]

Facts lol

[@187bigtim]

He got Kentucky winning it all with that defense. Child please based on history guarantee not to happen.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. Kentucky getting BOUNCED by the Sweet Sixteen.

[@brandonheath6246]

I could see mcneese state upsetting Purdue

[@robertpalatsky5017]

They're probably the 1 I worry about most, but I think all four 1's make it out of the first (technically second) round

[@dirtywizard898]

There won't be any 1 upsets first round, don't lose sleep over it

[@foxbtc4315]

Howard Virginia Colorado Grambling These team's are going to advance to March Madness. Repeat for Virginia and Howard no repeat for boise state and Montana State.

[@orangerucker2583]

Why is he calling every team “it” instead of “they”

[@doc8013]

Our defense has to get a lot better, and I do mean A LOT!!

[@kingslimeball1098]

With what defense? 🤣🤣🤣

[@joeomalley2835]

I will not take these opinions from these commentators to heart, as I think this is more for entertainment purposes. I'm hoping there is some new blood in the later rounds, and that there will be some madness/upsets. I like the fact that there are some new teams in here that haven't been in years or ever had success. Imagine Nebraska basketball doing better than Nebraska football.

[@GymLone]

GCU v St. marys....... are you serious w/these picks? sty. marys just beat gonzaga and looked the better team

[@blatty2646]

Wow, these guys are kinda bad at their jobs.

[@matthewc3959]

Look out for WKU over Marquette round 1. I think that could be our best shot. WKU has been rolling and Marquette limped in.

[@LuckyPunchSports]

marquette didn't have starting point guard tho

[@jordanporterrock4997]

Nc double what 😂 that boy needs some water .

[@caseyhines3513]

Just a bunch of northeast bubble guys who have no idea what they're talking about nor how good Auburn is nor how close this team is on and off the court. No superstar but a team in the truest meaning of the word. Oh yeah Bruce didn't just say we'd win the SECT but that we wouldn't lose again and win 9 in a row. Keep doubting and disrespecting Auburn media bubble dudes.

[@steven.events]

In Russia, bubble bursts _you._ 🔨

[@LittleOoozie]

Auburn sucks 😂

[@brandonbarnes5887]

I don't agree with any of the first 4 picks grambling Virginia Boise State Howard will all win enjoy
