Does Oakland have a realistic chance? I haven't seen them play once, but I know they have a decent resume. I have a few picking the upset in my money bracket.

On a side not....I just checked the games for tomorrow. Wow....some badass matchups!

I got Texas in the Elite 8, so I need a win here, especially after yesterday.

Yes, but not if Texas plays their best game. But that doesnt seem to be something that is likely, given the last month.

BTW, here are the other 3 games:

12:15, CBS, Tulsa -- Texas vs. Oakland
12:40, truTV, Charlotte -- Michigan vs. Tennessee
1:40, TBS, Chicago -- Notre Dame vs. Akron
2:10, TNT, Cleveland -- George Mason vs. Villanova

This is a good round, I think. ND should roll, but the other 3 could be great games, pending Texas playing well or not.

When can we expect a players pool update?

The UM/Tenn game is a tossup IMO. I've seen both play great at times and like balls at others.

I'm debating on whether to try to get out early to head to a bar and catch most of the OSU game.

Do you want me to start the individual in-game threads or does someone else want to?

Arent all 8-9 games a toss-up. I think the 9 has won 51% of those games. Just insane.

Against almost any other team I'd have gone with Oakland, but Texas having 2 first round picks offsets any edge Benson has.

For some reason I went with Tennessee and Nova thinking they will play up to their potential.

Yeah, changing my ESPN brackets pick of Oakland over Texas is looking great right now.

Not a great game, just ehhh. Texas is just doing enough to pull away.

You're giving Rick barnes wayyyyyy too much credit lol do not underestimate Barnes' inability to make game adjustments.

I actually like where Oakland is in this game...Benson isn't in foul trouble, Reggie Hamilton is getting his shots they'll eventually fall for him.

That just isnt that true. 2 S16, 2 E8, 1 F4. 2 first round exits only in 13 years. He also took Clemson to the S16.

I need my 4th round pick Reggie Hamilton to score, score and score more! He had 0 pts in first 10 mins and 10 pts in the last 10 mins.
