Arizona trying to redefine playing ugly. They were stuck at 9 points for 9 minutes when I had to quit watching, and it looks like their scoreless streak stretched several more minutes. North Carolina not exactly running away. South Carolina should be able to get by scoring only 49 in the next round as well.

They are now . . .

Notre Dame became the first team, men's or women's, to beat a higher-seeded team by more than 40 points in an NCAAT game.

Just true domination.

Well, we could have scored 35 and won our elite 8 game last year so I would not be surprised.

Notre Dame is so hot and cold but very talented.

I loved her at TT. A great point guard, although she wasn’t really much of a scorer. Texas had a pretty good counterpart in Nina Norman during Grant’s heyday.
 
I like Adia Barnes a lot as a person, but I can't help but be glad to see AZ eliminated from the tournament.

North Carolina played an excellent game. I saw Deja Kelly play in high school, and she is a flat-out winner. Banghart did an excellent job in this game.

Oh and looky there: Are my eyes deceiving me? Did the Big East actually get more teams in the Sweet 16 than the Pac-12? Surely this can't be right.

Do you still think the ACC was over-rated?
 
I watched North Carolina several times this year. I thought they had plenty of potential. Could probably use more size in the post, but they have a nice collection of players.

Really? It's not enough that I've gushed praise for both NC State and UNC? Aren't you just getting a little bit greedy?

Don't make me trot out the credentials of those oft-forgotten ACC exemplars like Virginia, Clemson, Pitt, Duke, et al.

Well - second weekend is missing two 2 seeds, two 4 seeds, and one 3 seed. Missing are:
2 Big12 teams Baylor and Oklahoma
1 Pac team Arizona
1 SEC team LSU
1 Big10 team Iowa

The teams making waves are:
2 ACC teams ND and UNC
1 BE team Creighton
1 Big 10 team Ohio State
1 Summit team South Dakota

So based on seeding, the ACC gets bragging rights and the Big 12 gets the raspberry.

Good weekend of really competitive games
 
So...Coach McGuff is often criticized for not being much of a coach. But this year he took a team without a whole lot in the way of expectations, won a share of the Big 10 regular season championship, and got to the Sweet 16. Not bad.

He's done a better job without the Mitchells in the picture. OSU is a solid team this year.
 
After all this ripping up of SC for their lack of offense, they looked better than any other top 3 seed right now aside from Stanford/NC State:

1 seeds:
Louisville-9 point win over Gonzaga

2 seeds:
UCONN-barely beat UCF, likely lose if UCF hits their free throws
Texas-struggled vs. Fairfield in Rd 1
Baylor-lost by 14 to South Dakota
Iowa-lost by 1 to Creighton

3 seeds:
Indiana-barely beat Princeton at home
Michigan-competitive game vs. Villanova until the 4th
Iowa State-almost lose at home to UT-Arlington
LSU-blown out at home by Ohio State
