I only hate Nova because of last year's championship game. Sucks they are out so early. But Wisky was definitely underseeded.

It is. I wanted to pick the honestly under seeded Wisconsin team but couldn't do it...gave Wright credit for last year.

From here until further notice they will be the Nova of old to me.

Florida State blows. I just picked the wrong team beating them this round.

5 of the 9 ACC teams bounced. Interesting, the Pac 12, Big Ten and SEC got maligned all season and are doing better in the NCAA's.

Over in women's hoops, Baylor up 117-27 on Texas Southern. What was the spread on that one? I'm guessing 90 would cover.

And they'll still lose to UConn by 20 eventually.

Shit. I didn't see that goaltending in the NW game. So bad and then the follow up T. Yikes.

Yeah that was bad. I was at a bar by my place with a ton of NW people there. When that happened everyone was like whys he so pissed that was a clean block. Then they showed the replay of the players hand going through the rim and the place went nuts lol

Awful no-call on the goaltending, and I don't blame Collins for losing his mind, but stay off the court. Lost control and cost his team two points.

I just can't convince myself to watch Florida/Virginia. I think I'd rather sit in the dark and stare at nothing for 2 hours.

I hated their first round games and hated the fact they would play each other in the second round. That set and the Xavier/Florida State set of games just looked awful from the beginning. At least Xavier is going to the Sweet 16.

I think today in general was pretty blah in terms of matchups. Nova/Wisky might have been the most appealing one. Tomorrow is a little better, but I think the early games are better than prime time.

ACC went 6-3 in the 1st round (and play-in game) with Wake, VaTech, and Miami losing.

0-3 so far in the 2nd round with a pretty bad performance by ND, and just awful games from FSU and UVA.

Up to Carolina, Duke, and Louisville to try to salvage the tournament for what was believed to be the best conference.

All 3 should be ok.
