Pitt is going to the sweet 16.

And the winner between Texas and Penn State
goes to the Final Four

I don't know why Pitt wasn't scheduled to play yesterday, but obviously Capel did something with the extra day and Iowa St. did not.

I had Pitt winning this is 2 of my 3 brackets. But I don't have them going to S16. Three games in six days with basically a 6.5 man rotation is asking a bit much.

This is the way! I have spoken!

I'll be interested to see how the Diaz-Graham twins bulk up over the offseason. Or if they do. Guillermo has good skills and nice touch, and his brother has a good BBIQ. But both need at least another 40 lbs to not be pushovers.

Pitt jumping all over Iowa State is disorienting. I am used to the Pitt that cakes its pants and pukes on itself in March. Maybe Pitt will blow a big lead, and balance will return to the universe.
I had a futures bet from a while ago on Iowa State. Pitt is really ruining this. I should have known to be wary of an 11 seed coming off a play-in win. Those teams tend to overperform. I wonder if anyone has compiled stats on this.

Kalkbrenner has his hands all over this NC State game. 11 points, 3 rebounds, a block, and playing solid defense

Creighton is 1/10 from three and are still up 6 with 7 minutes to go in the first half

Vermont got lead down. Just tuned in. Kolek out of the game I think I heard as I tuned in. It would be funny if the boys from green mountain slam Marquette.

Why?

I swear the schadenfreude people feel for conference opponents when they struggle in the national tournament.

It makes not freakin sense.

What is a probable line against St. Mary's? -7? I would go big UCONN.
Can someone put a STFU emoji on here for our use? It might be the most popular one ever...lol

Cummings is playing too much hero ball. Pitt wins with ball movement.

Yeah, Yankee and Red Sox fans root for each other’s teams all the time. After all it is the AL East.
So us/Xavier is analogous to yanks/Sox? Cmon man.

Cuse sure. X?

The fact that they're even competiting as we speak speaks volumes... Hurley has to win today

What was that about Pitt caking its pants? It’s happening.

This Pitt/Iowa State game has the potential to be truly legendary in the long and distinguished history of Pitt throat blockage.
