NCAA Tournament Thread

Wofford is good. I expected the Hall to win this game though. 

A meh first day. Tomorrow will be silly

Only 2 games went down to the wire. 

And 1 was Auburn/New Mexico St where both teams did all they could to lose

What makes you say that? 

Cronin hot seat? Probably not but Cincy has had a significant run of underwhelming appearances. Not sure I saw any adjustments from him today.

Iowa looked good.

It was a rough stretch I thought for a few minutes and it was both ways....I think overall they did a good job

Uh oh Virginia..

Gardner Webb 28

Virginia 14

7:12 1st half

.....I don’t want it to happen to UVA again

Virginia taking baby steps, they’ll survive. I’ll guess by 10-12 points 

K State in trouble but not a huge shock I don’t think

I'm rooting against Virginia just because I don't think the acc should have had 3 1 seeds

I'll admit I've watched 0 ACC basketball, so maybe they did deserve 3.

The nice thing about the basketball tournament (compared to football) is everyone gets a chance to prove if they belong. If they don't, we'll know soon enough. 

It was very weird season for tops seeds. Duke didn’t “deserve” it, but only 1 loss within Zion not only vaulted them to the 1 seed also to top of the 1 seeds. UNC maybe would’ve been the one to leave off, but do you discredit their 2 dominant wins over Duke? Especially following it up with a game they were probably the better team and lost by 1? 

Then you have Tennessee and Michigan State. Tennessee who didn’t win the SEC regular or conference, and MSU who won both in the B1G, but also had 2 losses to Indiana...

At the end of the day, I was ok with them getting 3. Because, along with gonzaga, I think they have 3 of the top 4 teams in the country. Even if resumes maybe could’ve subbed Tennessee or MSU.

Good for Buffalo

Tough draw for Wisky...a hot as hell Oregon team

The Capital One commercial with Barkley and Bird (and Samuel and Spike) is one of the best I've ever seen. 

Liberty wtf?
