Garza getting his flop going

Refs struggling in UC/Iowa game

What makes you say that? 

Cronin hot seat? Probably not but Cincy has had a significant run of underwhelming appearances. Not sure I saw any adjustments from him today.

Iowa looked good.

It was a rough stretch I thought for a few minutes and it was both ways....I think overall they did a good job

Uh oh Virginia..

Gardner Webb 28

Virginia 14

7:12 1st half

.....I don’t want it to happen to UVA again

Virginia taking baby steps, they’ll survive. I’ll guess by 10-12 points 

K State in trouble but not a huge shock I don’t think

I'm rooting against Virginia just because I don't think the acc should have had 3 1 seeds

but it should definitely have at least 2

I'll admit I've watched 0 ACC basketball, so maybe they did deserve 3.

The nice thing about the basketball tournament (compared to football) is everyone gets a chance to prove if they belong. If they don't, we'll know soon enough. 

It was very weird season for tops seeds. Duke didn’t “deserve” it, but only 1 loss within Zion not only vaulted them to the 1 seed also to top of the 1 seeds. UNC maybe would’ve been the one to leave off, but do you discredit their 2 dominant wins over Duke? Especially following it up with a game they were probably the better team and lost by 1? 

Then you have Tennessee and Michigan State. Tennessee who didn’t win the SEC regular or conference, and MSU who won both in the B1G, but also had 2 losses to Indiana...

At the end of the day, I was ok with them getting 3. Because, along with gonzaga, I think they have 3 of the top 4 teams in the country. Even if resumes maybe could’ve subbed Tennessee or MSU.

Good for Buffalo

Tough draw for Wisky...a hot as hell Oregon team

The Capital One commercial with Barkley and Bird (and Samuel and Spike) is one of the best I've ever seen. 

Liberty wtf?

VCU/UCF

1/16

Taco moves better than I anticipated

How long ago did they allow teams from same conference to face before the regional final? Minnesota plays Mich St in round if 32 and Duke might see VT in sweet 16

OSU gonna blow it in similar fashion as UC did

56 seconds and ball in court with no pressure and up 4....don’t call a timeout! They hadn’t started to trap or foul on purpose...now with timeout they must get it in and Iowa St can foul or pressure sooner

Didn’t affect anything though

Bucks can beat Houston too

helps having a good coach come tourney time

Pretty sure that has never been a thing. Unless conferences weren’t allowed more than 7 teams in the tournament lol.

But it’s always just been first round. They try and avoid it through 2 rounds, but favor location over matchup. And obviously can’t adjust seeds too much to avoid it.
