OSU and ISU in a good one so far. If OSU can hit a few shots and get up about 10 I think they can put them away. ISU is pesky and playing tough...missed 3 lay ins and a few too many turnovers.

OSU is better....but everything up in the air still.

NCAA is always there for their student athletes...unless you played 5 min for the University of New Orleans....

LOL @ going after Barkley for calling the B1G overrated
Barkley "I'll give you 4 teams"
I missed who said it, but the response was "That's a 1/4 of the conference in the sweet 16"
:laugh:

You'd think they'd brush up pretty hard the last few weeks at least to gain some actual experiences or knowledge. I didn't watch much until the SB was over.....but I know enough to feel comfortable speaking of these teams.

I went back to 2007 (got bored and stopped) and the #9 seeds are 14-14 against the #8 seeds. Furthermore (correct my math if I'm wrong).....if #1 seeds are 54-4 against #9 seeds....then since 1985 #9 seeds are 58-54 against #8 seeds.

Regardless, Gonzaga as a #1 seed losing in this round was the least surprising of any #1 seed losses to any #8 or #9 seed.
We were on the same path. I agree gonzaga was not a surprise. I was just saying that 1s don't lose that often.

I also misread you post initially, you've since explained it.

You're wearing me out. Lol Are you antsy about the IU game that they are going to win by 19?

Horrible charge call. He had 1/4 of his body in charge position.

He didn't say it was 1/4 of the conference, he said 1/4 of the sweet 16 would be from the conference.

CBS is pissing me off not showing 1/2 the replays.

Just like NFL coverage.

I'm still confused how they didn't call a foul when Wyatt had the ball in front of IU's bench and was basically pushed out of bounds.

Oladipo isn't a great on ball defender, he more of a LeBron type defender making big plays on help D.

The officiating in this tournament has been so horrendous that I might not even watch it next year. I might start watching gymnastics. I think that is judged more fairly than the end of the Iowa State game was.

Wildcats and I were the only people here who picked Temple. Unless Khalif continues to bomb away, IU will have to be in foul trouble late for the Owls to pull it off, though.

The key in my opinion for Temple will be Jake O'Brien. If he can get going and stretch the D from beyond the arc, Temple wins.

Atrocious charge call
