Thursday (3/7) games

[Plebe]

March Madness has begun, 10 lower seeded teams won today to include all four lower seeds in the Big 10. Two or three losses by some ranked teams in the conference tournaments and I think you can say Hasta La Vista to the LV of Tennessee.

I take it you mean 10 all across D-I (including mid-major tournaments)? I'm counting 6 from the four P5 tournaments that were in action today (winning teams in bold below).

ACC
Syracuse (5) vs. Virginia (12) (11am ET).

What's the name of the Board?

No. Just because we’re UConn fans it doesn’t mean we need to be jerks. Most of us are old enough to be parents/grandparents of the players and we act like middle schooler

Well March madness and the upsets begin. Earlier there was a discussion on another threat about the Pac-12 Utah at the time was a 2-loss team. I think I pointed out the short roster and more importantly the fact that Utah haven't played anyone yet in the schedule. While losing to it two win Washington team is clearly an upset it does show the uncertainty this time of year. ASU played poorly in their went over Colorado look for UCLA to easily win their game. The major Pac-12 take away yesterday was the coaching of McDonald at U of A. The wildcats destroyed Southern Cal in large part because McDonald finally played within a team concept and didn't feel the need to score 30 by jacking up 20 shots. They may be a tough out. I'm still looking for UCLA to make a deep run.
