My Twitter blew up with "Duke easy route to final 4" after Nova lost.

South Carolina went for 93 in round 1 playing 90 minutes from their campus. I like Duke's team but feel this is a bad bad matchup.

As for Louisville....UM is damn confident right now

I still feel confident in those 3. I think Duke/USCe will be close, but still a Duke win.

Honestly think Duke will be fine, but Thornwell is really good, and so is Dozier. Carolina recruited Dozier extremely hard before he decided to stay home.

South Carolina will definitely have the crowd behind them, but they're not gonna be playing Marquette this time.

That was terrible. Not sure how that can be missed.

Pumped for a lot of games today.

Michigan - Louisville (will miss first half, unfortunately)
Kentucky - Wichita State (could, sneakily, be best game of opening rounds)
Cincinnati - UCLA
Rhode Island - Oregon (URI is one of hottest teams in country)
Duke - S. Carolina

Courtside it looked legal. Surprising I know. Cause on replay, I changed my opinion.

His up and under a few possessions later was thing of beauty though.

No they're not.

Just because the player you have in the pickem league isn't doing well doesn't mean the refs are horrible lol

You think if OSU had gotten into a scary plane incident Marc Loving would have woke up for the whole season

The ACC is getting flat out waxed in this tournament. I didn't think they'd have a showing like last year, but I didn't expect this.

3 S16, 2 E8 and 1 F4 with only seven bids is hardly a bad showing...

Wilson and Wagner are their two most talented players. Walton is best, but not as talented. Those two, for whatever reason, didn't really hit their stride until midway through B1G play.

Depends on if OSU hired someone who can develop guys or not after said incidence.
