Creighton
I agree. Creighton is talented, but they are so young. Marquette is experienced with many seniors,
Marquette just made the men look stupid. Speaking of stupid, Hurley was double tee'd up at the end of the game on a non-call that would have put UConn on the line with a chance to tie the game.
So I'd like to see the women avenge the men.

It looks like Creighton will play UCONN tomorrow. They lead by double digits with under 2 minutes left in the game.

Knock on wood or throw salt? I always get confused on this.
In the NCAA I understand why some of the 16 seeds have to do the play in to get in, but why do some of the 11 seeds have to do a play in? Why not all 16 seeds? Or some 15 seeds. You get an 11 seed and your reward is you have to play another 11. Or they just mislabeling the teams, is it really an 11 playing a "17"? But why should an 11 have to play, why not have all the 17's play the 16's?
I think it's because the last 4 "at large" bids usually become 11 seeds, so these last 4 in schools play in the play-in games. The seeds below them are all automatic qualifiers from their conference tournaments, but they are seeded worse than teams that receive at large bids. So the last 4 automatic qualifiers also play in play-in games. I am guessing it is an attempt to provide some equity (rather than have all the play-in games go to low ranked automatic qualifiers or all the play-in games to go the last at-large qualifiers).
