I would think so....UCLA just isn't relevant at all.

UCLA gave up about 3 minutes ago. Literally just gave up.

Bennett was bad too.

B1G and A-10 beasting in RD1.

Big East, Big 12 and MWC looking horrible.

Pac-12 above average (only losses to the B1G), SEC slightly above average (Ole Miss win overshadows Mizzou looking bad).

He should be. But common opinions seems to be winning the Pac-12 gave him a stay of execution.

Big 12 was the worst conference IMO. Iowa State was the only good win. 4 seed lost, 5 seed lost, Kansas couldn't pull away from a 16, and Oklahoma got beat by 15 in a toss-up game.

Good call. I was really thinking of Iowa St when I wrote that, because they had just won. But they were bad.

I've always hated how they put a single game at noon on the Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend. Then, later in the day, you get 3 or 4 games at once. Makes no sense.

UCLA loses by 20. LOL Pac12.

Also, Gophers showed up. They could be dangerous if they show up against Florida.

As awesome as Th/Fr is...now the tourney starts. As we have seen, 15/16/14/whatever can win, but now every game feels like it could be 50/50 at tip-off. No gimmes starting tomorrow.

On ESPN brackets...nearly 8 million entries. Only FOUR have less than 3 losses. 4 people went 30 for 32. That's crazy.

I really like the lineup of games tomorrow. Arizona - Harvard is the only dud for me.

So pissed I have to miss VCU/UofM and Memphis/MSU tomorrow for work. Why is VCU/UofM not a primetime game???

The Lexington pod games should be the first to tip off...

I really worry about Michigan and their lack of ball-handlers versus the VCU pressure. They also need to not get rushed and jack up wild shots. Getting hot early from outside could be the worst thing for Michigan tomorrow.

They were ghetto as hell, their band was like jumping up and down doing that whole rapper moving their arm thing, while the big instruments were absolutely blaring all game. Then their cheerleaders looked like they came from the strip club, high white boots, really short ass white shorts, and their boobs were poppin out from 20 rows away

Not to rub it in, but...

And La Salle looked pretty good, right? (After my Wisconsin pick, I needed some salvation. Although, now I wish I would have taken La Salle into the Sweet 16 rather than just the second round. Damit it, Bo.)

I said heading into the tournament that I thought the A10 would have more second round teams than any conference in the country. They got five. The Big Ten got six. I was close.

The Atlantic 10 is a top three conference in the country right now. Hands down. Cannot wait to see what these teams do. I hope one wins it all.

The A-10 is the only redeeming part of my bracket. LaSalle is the only one I missed on, and I have St. Louis, Butler, and VCU moving beyond this weekend.
