#2 Marquette trailing #15 WKU by 7. Go Hilltoppers!

It's so nice to get the first win under our belts and be able to relax and watch other top seeds sweat it out.

NM getting completely mauled. Could have predicted that after all the hype.

Our post D was terrible.. definitely a major concern. Figures our 6 seed looks really strong

I've watched them a bit this year (Clemson that is) I'm not convinced they're that good. They got the weakest 11 imo

San Diego State 61
UAB 58

For some reason, those numbers have special meaning for me!

Looks like Marquette will survive their scare from WKU

I'll defer to you. Haven't seen them much. Was skeptical of the NM hype

It's UConn's world now. Motivated UConn is the best team in the country and I don't think its close. They match up extremely well with the other 1s too. They're going to have to really struggle to get picked.

UNM Hype biggest bust to-date.

Probably right, but history tells us that they probably will not win it all again.

They somehow drew what seems like the best of the 2 seeds in ISU. That would be an interesting match up. UConn has lost when its offense stalled out, and ISU can have that affect on teams. Ditto Houston.

Their path is not easy.

I at least somewhat bought into the hype and picked them in this game in my bracket. Clemson is playing well, but NM looks like dog crap (at least today).

New Mexico isn't as bad as they looked today. They got off to a horrible shooting start and never recovered. But I was worried about their ability to shoot. I was hoping they'd be struggling to shoot against us, though, not Clemson.

Hope we have a crew that is willing to punish overly aggressive play b/c Clemson will do just that.

Even if it's a "let them play" type group we need to be ready to make our FTs as we're likely going to get our chances.

I agree, the tourney is unpredictable. But don't think Iowa St would be the one to do it. In Boston, think UConn would put it to Iowa St. They aren't great on the road/hostile environments.

Think Uconn is all wrong for Houston. Size, length, intricate offensive system, great 3 ball wings. Takes explosive offense to make them uncomfortable.

25% of the teams losing so far are in the SEC.

Florida and Auburn both go down in the final seconds.


Correction: SECSECSEC is 1-5 (not 1-6) with Aggy and Bama to go

Purdue close to tipping off against Grambling. Purdue is a 27.5 favorite.

In non-con Iowa St beat Grambling 92-37.

I prolly should have picked the aggys in my bracket. That would've insured a loss for them.

And the sum of:

(1) all the biological males who have given birth

+

(2) the total number of wins by Nebraska in the history of the NCAA tournament

Remains = 0

JMU has punched Wiscy in the mouth. They might make this a fun one.

Houston 14
Longwood 9

That's an insane score for Houston after 10+ minutes

Not all that surprising tbh. Houston is prone to long scoring droughts. They'll win comfortably

Aggie won & Bama is going to win.
I still think Houston will win but I hope they can beat the Aggies Sunday.
