All the claims of Mizzou being a quality win just went down the shitter...

I hate when the analysts starts listing all the reasons why Missouri wasn't going to win, but three days ago they were listing all the reasons they would be a final four lock. Everyone's a prophet.

Think this has to be the first time I've lost a Final Four team in the Round of 64.

Don't really care though. That was pretty awesome.

Any of the other three teams have a shot to come out of that bottom part of the bracket. Wouldn't be surprised at any of them.

IMO, it's the winner of Murray St. and Marquette. Whoever wins that will play Sparty(the real Sparty) to go to the FF.

I liked a lot of teams in that bracket, particularly Michigan State, Murray State, Marquette and Missouri

I went with Michigan State, though, basically because of the Izzo factor and I thought the Big Ten championship was telling. OSU was coming off a blowout win over Michigan and they came at Michigan State hard but the MSU still had more. I think that was a good sign of things to come for them, but we'll see.

Eh don't forget about Florida. Outside shooting with an athletic physical big plus Brad Beal is probably the best rebounding guard in the country.

Sparty is a tough matchup for OSU, they negate Sully very well, they play good defense all around.

I think OSU hit MSU with some big punches in that game so to speak and MSU still withstood it. It's going to take a lot to beat the Spartans IMO.

Very close talent wise, split home losses, rubber in the conference tourney...very close to call, very close.

Ohio is off to a good start but so is Michigan offensively

going to be tough for Ohio unless Michigan plays down a little

Cooper probably needs at least 30 for Ohio to win, but it looks like he's capable of it
