Karma will bite FAU next week.

Karma will bite FAU next week.

One of the most bush league things I have seen. Glad he missed and got booed.

And not a stretch to think we might get two into the Elite 8 with Creighton - Princeton and UCONN - Arkansas both very winnable games.

Creighton and UConn were both top five in KenPom before the tournament. Which is why I picked them in my two pools. UConn already manhandled Bama. And I really think the BE is the second best conference at the top. If not the best

MSG is the big loser next week. Instead of Duke-Kentucky, it's K State-Tennesse. That will kill the enthusiasm in the building.

Ticket re-sale prices certainly falling

Random thought. I have an unnaturally strong dislike for Gonzaga.

Great win for Creighten--Big East 3 of final 16

how much more do we make to pay towards CMA salary ? Another week ? We are on a roll

 

[JohnnyFan]

Anyone rooting for UConn because they are a Big East team, probably never attended a SJU/UConn game at MSG.

I mean, you simply cannot root for them.

Goodman can choke on this

3 from SEC, 3 from Big East and possibly 3 from Big 12 if TCU knocks off Gonzaga. Big East looking pretty darn good at the end of the first weekend.

and the unnecessarily overrated Big 10 sending only 1 of their 8 teams, Mich St, on to the second weekend.

I like them and stupidly pick them pretty much every year, but going strictly by roster this is probably the most unlikable team they've had in 20 years.

this an annual occurrence with the B10, selection committee overrates them. Mid Majors have shown they can compete with the Big Boys, want to see more of them invited.

Msg looks half empty in the lower bowl

I'm watching the Kansas State Michigan State game. Kansas State only had two returning players and 10 new comers. They look great. No reason we can't do the same thing!

Upset Era.

https://www.theringer.com/march-mad...-2023-ncaa-tournament-march-madness-princeton

We are in college basketball’s Upset Era. In the first 27 years after the NCAA introduced the 64-team format for the men’s NCAA tournament, zero 16-seeds beat 1-seeds, and just four 15-seeds knocked off 2-seeds. But in the past 11 tournaments, we’ve seen two 16-over-1 upsets and seven 15-over-2 victories. Lower seeds are also going on deeper tourney runs than ever: 11 of the 16 Final Four appearances by teams seeded seventh or lower have happened since 2010.

Nowell is what Curbelo was supposed to be.

 

[RedStormRising]

One of the best things about the tournament is it shows the world how hard it is to win in the big east.

 

[ctstorm]

Hate to say it, but UConn is REALLY playing well.

 

[espken]

UConn blitzing Arkansas.
Eric Musselman don’t panic, keep your shirt on.

 

[Amaseinyourface]

crazy id prefer uconn over musselman
