March Madness NCAA Tournament Thread

  Dayton not getting great calls the last couple minutes
• friendfromlowry

  Dayton loses five games all season before losing to close out the regular season, first game of the A10 tourney, and now first game of NCAA tourney.

  Would be an interesting analysis to know how many slumping teams underperform their seed, and how many streaking teams outperform.
  
  Saw an earlier answer to my question - 7 straight years a Round of Four team has advanced.

  I can't even watch parts of that game.

  How do you go from being up 17-5 to trailing 38-27 at half? That takes some serious effort.

  Kent State already down 16-2 about 5 1/2 minutes in

  Well, one way is you haven't scored in 5 minutes, so don't try to run your offense and just brick a 25 footer

  Your must watch 2nd round games....
  
  Mine: UCLA/UC, Louisville/UM....and I think for whatever reason Northwestern/Gonzaga might be great.
  
  Xavier/FSU is unlikely to disappoint. USC/Baylor probably the same.
  
  Several meh match ups though

  ND/WVU is gonna be a good one.

  The West bracket bores me though

  They're so inconsistent. They beat Carolina, Duke, and Virginia during the season.
  
  They even looked great to start the game tonight. Then they went in the crapper.

  No big upsets so far....Kent St only one left with a chance
• ironman02

  Sindarius Thornwell is a fucking monster!
• ironman02

  Hey, South Carolina. Save some for Sunday!

  No way. South Carolina can't score.
• friendfromlowry

  These last few games of the night have been snoozers.

  They did a hell of a job getting back in it and hanging with UCLA (got within 4), but it looks like they're out of gas.
  
  Saw a tweet that it'll be the first time no 13+ seed will advance in 10 years

  I thought Creighton looked like absolute shit earlier.

  You gotta learn to save your energy rooting for your team and minimize the amount you waste on rooting against others.
  
  South Carolina being placed in their home state as a 7 seed had this written all over it.
  
  They can be all athletic and gather twice as baby offensive boards as Duke, pull off the upset and then lose by 20 the next round not in their backyard.
