  My Twitter blew up with "Duke easy route to final 4" after Nova lost.
  
  South Carolina went for 93 in round 1 playing 90 minutes from their campus. I like Duke's team but feel this is a bad bad matchup.
  
  As for Louisville....UM is damn confident right now

  I still feel confident in those 3. I think Duke/USCe will be close, but still a Duke win.

  Honestly think Duke will be fine, but Thornwell is really good, and so is Dozier. Carolina recruited Dozier extremely hard before he decided to stay home.
  
  South Carolina will definitely have the crowd behind them, but they're not gonna be playing Marquette this time.

  Welcome to the 2nd round, Iowa State.

  That was terrible. Not sure how that can be missed.

  He hopped and then still took another step. So bad.

  The water celebrations are pretty awesome.

  Pumped for a lot of games today.
  
  Michigan - Louisville (will miss first half, unfortunately)
  Kentucky - Wichita State (could, sneakily, be best game of opening rounds)
  Cincinnati - UCLA
  Rhode Island - Oregon (URI is one of hottest teams in country)
  Duke - S. Carolina

  Courtside it looked legal. Surprising I know. Cause on replay, I changed my opinion.
  
  His up and under a few possessions later was thing of beauty though.

  Agreed.
  
  And DJ Wilson is a really solid player.

  Walton needs to score man. And the refs are horrid again.

  No they're not.
  
  Just because the player you have in the pickem league isn't doing well doesn't mean the refs are horrible lol

  Michigan, Wisky and Purdue representing the Big 10 well

  You think if OSU had gotten into a scary plane incident Marc Loving would have woke up for the whole season

  That probably wouldn't have helped either.
• ironman02

  The ACC is getting flat out waxed in this tournament. I didn't think they'd have a showing like last year, but I didn't expect this.
• slingshot4ever

  ESPN can talk them up all year with their bias...now it is time for truths
• Big_Mirg_ZHS

  

  Actually yes the refs made 3 bad calls in a row at the end of the half.
• Mulva

  

  How was Michigan not better? They have some legit talent.

  Repeating last year's Big 12 performance.

  3 S16, 2 E8 and 1 F4 with only seven bids is hardly a bad showing...

  Wilson and Wagner are their two most talented players. Walton is best, but not as talented. Those two, for whatever reason, didn't really hit their stride until midway through B1G play.

  Depends on if OSU hired someone who can develop guys or not after said incidence.
