If Yale can meet the physicality of SDSU they will be playing a much more comfortable tempo than the Auburn game.

Colorado at 10 isn't your typical double digit seed though. They're one of the most on paper talented teams in the country and they've now won 9 of 10.
I hear you and the fact they are hot should carry some weight.

Being a 10 seed does indicate that there are flaws a 2 seed (with a smart coach) should be able to exploit.

Nobody is getting in anybody's way in TAMU v. Neb.

What these first two days has shown: there are about 10 teams max that play any def in this tourney and Iowa St was abused on the interior in their game.

Auburn is a good team and UConn is lucky to not have to play them. In this tournament not uncommon for good team to have off night, or opponent have a hot night and lose to a lesser team. It’s why they play 7 games series in the pros. Even with that a team gets hot and wins a series where they were not the best team.

The Ken Pom stats are the most accurate in my opinion.
UConn did get screwed by committee, but with this break, the bracket now seems fair, but both Iowa St and Illinois are good teams.

They’re computer trickers. Beat a bunch of bad teams by a lot and didn’t beat anyone good.

Tbh Yale was under seeded. If Duquense was an 11, Yale should have been a 12 at worst.

Fear none. Respect all.
Northwestern won an NCAA tournament game. They are dangerous.

Auburn? They didn't do squat all year other than run up scores on bum teams to juice their numbers and be lucky enough to be on the right side of the SEC tournament bracket as it fell apart.

Nope. They stunk. And they proved they stunk.

They lost to App State and their best OOC win was Indiana.

Spreadsheet heroes got what they deserved.
