Lexington, Kentucky native Shelvin Mack is going off.

You wonder why Tubby Smith and Billy Gillispie aren't coaching at UK anymore. This kid didn't even get a look from them.

Instead, the likes of Michael Porter, Konner Tucker and many, many others got scholarships.

Baffling.

Butler has a nice team.

Howard is a little overrated for being their best player. He flops a lot and gets in foul trouble quite a bit but he's stayed in this game and it's been key.

However, Mack is deadly and they have Gordon Hayward, a 6-9 guard-forward, only a sophomore but a very versatile player

This, along with Michigan State, may have been the 2 easiest first round picks for me outside of the 1-3 seeds. Butler is a damn good team. I think they match up well with Murray State too, and expect to see them in the Sweet 16.

And I don't think anyone considers Howard to be Butler's best player. That's pretty clearly Hayward.

Not sure about Murray State's defense. If they're able to extend the defense and challenge the 3s a lot better than UTEP they'll have a chance.

Call me crazy, call me whatever you want; but for some reason, I think OU will beat Georgetown tonight.

Ohio doesn't look special or anything thus far, but Georgetown looks like shit to start.

I won't call you crazy, I said in the bracket thread or somewhere that I think they could beat G-Town because they have a legit top level player in Bassett.

I wanted to pick them so badly in my bracket but I didn't, from what I've seen so far they look like they're playing with the energy to make me regret that.

I have OU winning in one of my brackets. I learned my lesson about picking against the local underdogs last year with Cleveland State.

Yeah I didn't pick them in anything, but I have a feeling it might be one of "those games."
