Think Oral Roberts will score this game? SMH

There it is. Took 8 minutes but they finally have a hoop.
If I didn’t think it was just wrong as a UConn fan I was going to bet Duke -6.5. Felt like an easy one they way they have been playing and given they have top 10 level talent.

I went back 10 years on KenPom, Iowa is 168th in defensive efficiency this year. The only worse at large teams are Indiana in 2015 at 200th and Wake Forest in 2017 at 176th. There's honestly very few autobids worse than them most years either, only 2 or 3 every season
And Pearl immediately goes to "Iowa is #3 in Offensive Efficiency" in halftime interview...

Duke is so collectively big that we would have to dust off Samson against them. It's 7 footer after 7 footer.

Northwestern packing the paint with legit size and daring Boise to shoot. So far, not good for Boise. This isn’t going to be attractive basketball.

the lone bright spot...UVA is going to be a mid-bottom conference team next year even in a garbage ACC. Losing the entire starting 5 assuming Beekman declares for the draft
That sucks, because I prefer teams beating up on Duke and UNC. Plus Bennet seems like a good guy. Too bad they lost Van Der Plas and feel awful for Kihei.

Hope everyone saw that Auburn was playing in Birmingham and bet accordingly.
I did. Plus, that Auburn team may not be Pearl's most talented, but they play hard.

Hate to admit it, but with my South region pretty much fried, I kinda need Duke to go very far to have any shot at winning anything. I have them in FF.


17999 to go
None in any of the BY groups I'm in. We suck at this.

Willie Nelson must still be deep in delinquent tax debt to be pitching credit cards.

Iowa starting to hit some 3s. One or two more and this game will get interesting (I hope)
