  Anyone think Belmont will give Wisconsin a rough time? I think that could be a great game. Picked the Badgers to win, but I think the Wisconsin fans might be sweating for a while.

  I was pissed. I thought Wisconsin had an Elite 8 squad this year, but I also promised myself I would take Belmont. Ive had about 5 teams in past 3 years where I said that and am 5/5. So I went with that hunch and Buckys tourney struggles. I have Belmont over Utah St to the S16.
• ironman02

  I orginally had Utah State beating Belmont in the second round, but I decided not to take Belmont over Wisky. Still have Utah State going to the Sweet 16 though.
  
  I can definitely see the #9, #10, #11, #12, and #13 seeds in that region all winning in the first round. Seems like a lot of the experts are pretty high on Wofford too, so maybe even the #14, but I'd say Jimmer will just drop 40 to make sure they win.

  I think Florida, BYU, Connecticut, and Wisconsin win in these games.

  Finally get to watch some basketball today.

  Don't see Florida or UConn sweating it out too much. Wisconsin - Belmont should be a great game.
  
  Wofford really underachieved this year before the conference tournament, but if they put it together they could definitely give BYU a run. I think either BYU or Wisky goes down.
• wildcats20

  

  Gottlieb seems to think that Bucknell is going to give UConn fits....
  
  Or at least that was the front he was putting on this morning on Mike and Mike.

  Laley, are you a pad poster? WTF is there a Thurs eve late game thread and a Thursday second wave thread? Yet someone asked a mod to close my in game WVU/Clemson so we dont clog up the forum?
• wildcats20

  

  Because no one likes you? lol
• charliehustle14

  Chandler Parsons for Florida is fun to watch. He's going to rip UCSB apart IMO.
  
  I also have Belmost over Wisky.
• wildcats20

  

  Welp this one is over.

  Laley posted his first and covers multiple games in each thread. It makes sense to me.

  I dont really care, but he has 2 identical threads made within a minute of one another? Covering the same (multiple) games. I dunno
• GOONx19

  

  There are three threads, I believe. First wave, second wave, and evening.

  No, no there isn't.
  
  Like Goon said, there is a thread for each session.

  # 50 for Wofford got Jimmered on the fast break lol
• se-alum

  

  I actually think Wisky will come out and handle Belmont relatively easily. BYU just doesn't look like a very good team.
• robj55

  

  BYU is taking some horrible shots

  They really aren't. They are just one really good player and a bunch of role guys.
