Northern Kentucky has 2 3's fall halfway down the net and out and Houston had a 3 do the same thing and it fell in. Damn.

Birmingham tight rims strike!!!

 

[cyfanbr]

A & M getting smoked by the pedos.

Yup. Pretty wrong about this one so far.

Penn State beating the dog piss out of Texas A$M.

 

[jsb]

I mean…Houston will probably (?) win, but sheeesh.

It's the closest game in this time slot.

 

[ClonerJams]

I think N Kentucky is a better 16 seed than you usually see, but Houston is not impressing.

 

[DSM4Cy]

Keep in mind folks, Houston lost at home to Temple earlier this season and is coming off a big loss against Memphis in the AAC tournament. Analytically, they are the top team in the country but they haven't played much of a schedule. And now they're without Sasser.

Houston might prevail, could pull away in final 10 ... but so far what I like about NKU is the WDGAF approach ... going right at it on both ends ... "we might not win, but we'll force you to beat us."

A&M getting boat raced.

I think N Kentucky is a better 16 seed than you usually see, but Houston is not impressing.

Since the First Four was introduced, you now have 2 teams that would have been a 15 seed previously that get 16 seeds, 2 teams that would have been 14s that are now 15s, etc. This has really increased the parity of those games and we've obviously seen it with the number of those types of upsets in recent years.

I like seeing the B1G flop if it happens but stories like PSU having success are fine.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

The A&M cheerleaders are much hotter than Ped State but the Aggies brought along three of those guys in the all whites.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Since 1985 (when field expanded to 64), only 4 schools have never lost a First Round Game:

Auburn (11-0)
Tulane (3-0)
Northwestern (2-0)
Furman (1-0)

3 of them won today

Yeah the Horizon is a pretty solid mid major conference. A lot of good players out of those metro area

Houston showing signs of life

 

[ZuriCyclone]

I mean, for god's sake I'd argue Prohm was better than Fran.

The difference is Prohm destroyed what Fred built , Fran rebuilt the program. But has a low ceiling

 

[CyGuy5]

I thought A&M was wayyyy underseeded but PSU is taking them to the woodshed

 

[jsb]

TN had an 17 point lead. It's down to 5.

 

[cowgirl836]

Tennessee I got enough problems with my high seed picks today. Don't you join in too. Don't need spouse gloating on his Cajun pick.

They instantly look more dangerous than Colgate did vs Texas and Houston is at least as talented as Texas.
