Holy moly Chris Collins looks old.

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

 

[AzHusky]

Is that our favorite Timmy Allen playing for Texas now?

Our archenemy is his older brother Teddy

 

[FfldCntyFan]

think their claim to fame was they were the first 2 to lose to a 15

Yeah, looked it up, their loss to Vermont was 13 over 4 so Cuse fans can hold their heads high, especially as that game was vacated.

 

[HuskyHawk]

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.

 

[Jay-Bone]

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.

 

[UCSouth]

I was just looking at the ESPN Bracket and there are still over 18000 perfect brackets left. WOW

17999 to go

The dramatically increased frequency in recent years tells you how much the game has changed. Top teams just aren’t as loaded as they once were.

No, but his buddy/teammate Sir'Jabari Rice cooking in the NCAA tournament again. Getting flashbacks.

 

[auror]

Rice was 3/6 against us from 3 last year, 4/5 in the first 12 minutes tonight. He was B12 6th man of the year.

 

[Ripper32]

Iowa getting reamed now.

 

[auror]

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.

They’re going to get to a final four and go through MSG to do it. /barf

 

[storrsroars]

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.

 

[storrsroars]

Time for ORU's "kill shot", ya think?

 

[storrsroars]

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

 

[SouleMan]

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

My BY bracket is hot garbage already

 

[auror]

Auburn somehow milking the clock too early and playing out of control at the same time. And then not getting back on D.

Serious choke job over the last 5 minutes. And disappointing since I got them weeks ago at +1600 to make the Final Four.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

If I was McCaffrey, I would never have Iowa play a straight up defense given how bad the team sucks on defense. Man traps, zone traps, 1-3-1, 3-2, basically anything but man-to-man or a 2-3. Just try to slow the opponent's scoring down enough so Iowa can shoot their way to a win.
