I don't think Stanford is losing to Dayton. They have a heck of a front line and Randle is the real deal.

I think Dayton's run ends. They will struggle with Stanford's defense. I can see the Flyers shooting like 30% or something like that and just being frustrated all day. I know many are forgetting this game, but I must say, I could see it being like 58-46 or something in favor of Stanford.

Regardless, I think the winner gets stomped in the next round. Stomped = 15pt+ loss

I think Stanford will beat Dayton, unfortunately, and I think Stanford can give Florida a really good game by forcing them to shoot from outside all game long.

Cool picture I just saw on Twitter of the 3 coaches still in the tourney who also played in it.

I just got the hilarious image of Allen Iverson coaching at the Final Four.

Wrapping up a work project and getting ready for my 4-5 hour NCAA fix tonight. Which is good, as the NIT just isn't the pure shit my veins need. Even if the Cal-Arkansas game from a few nights ago was hilarious just because Bill Walton immediately lost interest in the game and just wanted to tell old Berkeley stories.

Seriously...not sure why they couldnt find a picture of Kevin Ollie doing something other than defend one of the greatest guards in the last 30 years lol

There's some bad depth/perspective on that Steve Alford pic...but I'll warn you that you might not want to search for what I'm talking about

And the madness returns. Sad that this weekend is basically it. The Final Four is simply a blur.

Cheering hard for Stanford tonight.

All the games are pretty intriguing to me, actually. Should be a great night.

Excited to see what Archie Miller can do now that he is rumored as a serious Wake target, despite signing that long-term contract. I don't know why, but I just really want Wake to be good again. Though I imagine they'll end up with Chris Mack, who served as a Wake assistant under Skip Prosser.

Need UCLA, Arizona and Baylor for my bracket.

I always feel like that on years in which my team actually had a chance.

Without Embiid, they were doomed. Also, after that presser where they laughed when asked about Stanford player... Fuck 'em.

Agreed that Kansas had no chance without Embiid. That's why I had them out second round (just picked the wrong team to beat them: New Mexico). But had he come back in the Sweet 16, KU had a shot.

Surprised that Wiggins acted that way in the presser. He's always seemed like a pretty intelligent and reserved kid. That was a pretty dumb move all-around, especially from a competitive standpoint. Talk about bulletin board material.

Well, so far, I was very wrong about Dayton. The Flyers are up double digits already. Two more wins and Archie Miller is coaching anywhere he wants in the next two or three years.
