Alton badly overmatched with their PG out due to drugs and their other guard has the flu....VCU is quick.

Pulling hard for Akron #15 is a local kid and #14 rides the end of the bench but is my wife's 2nd cousin.

Watching the New Mexico/Harvard game.

New Mexico's screens involve a lot of movement by the stationary guy so far early in the game.

Anyone here have Harvard? The Crimson might put up more of a fight than some think.

I'm really anxious to see if Tony Snell can keep up his torrid outside shooting. If not, I think New Mexico will look much less impressive than it did in the MWC tournament. They are not really a high-powered offensive team. They looked that way last week because of Snell, but I think that may have been more of an aberration.

I haven't been watching the game, but Colorado State is number one in the country in offensive rebounding. Missouri is a team that struggles inside to rebound. I think the Rams are a bad matchup. Also, Missouri has Frank Haith. They'd be better off letting the mascot coach.

I've not watched a lot of New Mexico this year, but I don't really understand the hype. To me they're a poor man's Ohio State. Good defensively, but less scoring capability than even the Bucks.

In case anyone was wondering how bad the MAC was this year, this should prove it.

The only two teams worth anything were Ohio and Akron, and though they both won 24+ games it's because 14 were against the rest of that shit conference. Ohio lost their NIT game and Akron might lose by 50.

While I know what Colorado State's numbers are, I'm not gonna lie, I made up that about Missouri haha. I had no idea what their rebounding numbers are. I've only watched half a Missouri game all year (UK), but I imagine Oriakhi has helped a lot.

The larger reason for Missouri struggling, though, is that Frank Haith isn't going to win anything significant in any tournament involving basketball. He is an awful coach.

Besides everyone's ACT scores, this is the most honest thing I've ever read on this website. I'm still laughing. Reps!

Lol. After rereading my original post, I went right into that lie without hesitation. Not sure what that says about me. Kinda scary haha

Happy for the Pac 12/10. I feel they were disrespected with 12 seeds and they both won. LOL. EZ. :thumbup:

I hate Kirk for New Mexico. He strikes me as the kind of unathletic big white scrub that would put up 16-18 points in a win over Ohio State, leading me to break several of my possessions.

Harvard raining shots. Crimson hanging tough. Glad that I took Arizona into the Sweet 16. I'm not sure New Mexico is going to make it. If they do, they'll probably play better in round two. But, when Tony Snell plays like a human, they aren't really that awe-inspiring.

Pac-12 looked good today. Big 12 looks like shit.

Edit: Whoops, forgot Missouri is SEC now haha. Oklahoma State and Missouri are really the only teams expected to win that have looked like shit.

The games have been pretty disappointing this evening, for the most part.

Akron currently on pace to set the new record for worst loss by a MAC school in the tournament (current record is 32 by Ball State in 1986) and worst loss by a 12 to a 5 since the tourney expanded (35 points)

Akron loses 88-42. Anybody who picked them should be automatically disqualified from their bracket pool.

That's why I said, "for the most part". 6 of 8 games have been blowouts.

Also, how good could Minnesota have been if not for transfers? Cobbs and Iverson are darn good players.

Minnesota is a good team. They will reach the elite 8 minimum.

They had 6 of their top 7 players in terms of minutes per game. And I don't care if they were missing the whole starting 5, they got more than doubled up. 88-42!
