March other NCAA games

Dain Dainja just went coast to coast for a 1v2 fast break layup so I'm gonna go ahead and say this one is over

No bid stealers today. Xavier fans must be happy with that one. Fingers crossed!

Xavier, yeah they must have been s.h i. t. ting bricks yesterday when Memphis and Tulane went the distance.

LOL at this being some dominant performance defensively for either team. So many missed wide open looks. Woof.

Great job by Penny this year, I thought when he fired his staff on the cusp of the season that he was a dead man walking and he ended up having his best year. If Hunter is healthy for the tourney he has a team that can do some damage.

He was the best player on their team in Maui. If Memphis doesn't have him, they are not going far, and it doesn't look like they will have him according to this article. He was in a walking boot.

Great tourney win by Dusty - what a season for him.

Memphis will win the AAC. Seems like not many (any?) bid stealers this year?

Not crowning anything - I’m observing how a roster was built of a top 2-3 team this year to see what can be construed. No one said we have to copy, but it’s worth seeing what can be learned.

Biggest thing I’ve learned.

Schedule Big 10 teams in your OOC.

Mich state, mich, Maryland, Purdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, etc.

They aren’t nearly as good as the best SEC or big 12 teams. Yet they will be metric warriors as the season progresses.

They've been my pick all season.

You don’t want to wait to see if they win it?

I think Florida should be the #1 overall seed this year. Reasonable minds can disagree with me, but if there is a conversation about the #1 overall seed this year, that conversation has to include Florida among the other teams like Duke, Auburn, Tennessee, etc.

Only 1 - helps a number of bottom end bubblers, potentially including Xavier.

They definitely look like the best team. Really hope we aren’t in their region

Yeah this is a great point. Pretty insane achievement considering how much of a cluster that team was in August.
