Syracuse dishing out a beating on Dayton. Whatever Boeheim said about Roberson is working and Richardson is playing well.

Yeah, I see that. This is going to give all the Orange apologists ammunition to say, "See! We told you so!."

God, I hate seeing Jimmy B on the bench!

I suspect Hopkins agrees with you.

The experts I've watched seem to think Butler will get ripped apart by Virginia. If Butler were somehow able to go out there and run all over them that would be a huge moment for the conference, and everyone would forget about Seton Hall.

Very true. I don't expect any 4+ bid conference to be undefeated at the end of the day and Seton Hall was certainly the last BE team to get in, though they were clearly in before their Tourney win.

PS great picking yesterday.

Why do you think Seton Hall was the last BE team to get in? They came in 3rd in the conference with two more conference wins than both PC and Butler (I know they both advance, the Hall didn't) and had a better record overall than both.

Well, Sir Charles just made a comment that I must say I agree wholeheartedly with. When asked about Syracuse being in the tournament, he was very clear and adamant that they did not deserve to be here. This is one example where his outspokenness (is that a word) is something I admire.

WHile I agree I would say they deserve to be there more than Michigan or Tulsa, maybe they should have been in the first four. Gonzaga's display last night shows how St Mary's was a huge snub. Otherwise I have a hard time finding the other teams that truly deserved to be in. OK I'll give you guys Monmouth. Who else? Or shrink the field?

Monmouth, St. Bonaventure, Saint Mary’s and San Diego State all have a legitimate gripe regarding Tulsa and Cuse (notwithstanding the beating Cuse is giving Dayton )

Seton Hall was not the last BE team in, regardless of BE tournament results. That was Butler and then Providence next.

Former Johnnies recruit Ahmed Hamdy sighting, playing for VCU. He's not bad & has good size.

Pac 12 is dreadful this year, about to go 1-5 in Dance if Cal loses to Hawaii. They trail.by 11 late.

Beat me to it.

Anyone watching? What happened to Jaylen Brown? With him Wallace and Bird out that's pretty tough.

Brown fouled out. A frustration foul, as well, after missing an open trey. Cal can't get over the hump. I think they're about to go fishin'.

Gotta learn to read my box scores more thoroughly before asking stupid questions.

 

[MCNPA]

Big East performing very well thus far. 4 teams to the field of 32. Only Seton Hall laid an egg, but Gonzaga in the late-night game isn't optimal.

 

[MJDinkins]

I thought Michigan State would've came back and taken the lead by now, but I see an upset is truly brewing. Still a ton of time left in that one, but the Spartans seems to be in trouble.

Yeah, every time Michigan State chips away at lead, Middle Tenn charges ahead. I really hope Middle Tenn hangs on.

Michigan State only down by 3 now.

PAC 12 has not delivered this year. Did not know the Cal player was injured till it was too late and one of my Final 4 teams is done. Drat!

Win or lose Middle Tenn is tough. Great game!

Bird was actually under the weather. They really missed him today. My brackets are taking somewhat of a beating today (lost that particular game and Dayton messed me up by losing to Syracuse).

Read back spasms. What did they say on TV?

The commentator initially said an illness, and later said Bird was under the weather. So, maybe there was a correction, and it could've been back spasms.

Michigan State down by three w/1:08 seconds left in regulation.
