[HFCS]

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

I think Penn state has third longest streak without ncaa win for a major conf team. Nebraska obviously longest with “never”.

I think this game is about over now. NKU is to the point where they're chucking up hopes and prayers.

Northern Kentucky is impressive. Guys work their asses off, and are playing fearlessly. Win or lose, they've made an impression here.

UConn is Top 20 on the list. They haven't won a tournament game since 3/17/2016.

The decision to just chuck a million 3s this half sure is something

 

[Cyclonepride]

Man, NKU would probably be right there if they were on from 3 (or if they jacked up less long ones and waited for the better shot).

 

[simply1]

15% from 3 for nku

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.

Hope you didn't pick Tennessee going very far. Rick Barnes is notorious for underachieving in the tournament. They'll probably hold on here, but hard to see them going very far.

 

[FerShizzle]

Is he playing tomorrow?

No. And it sounds like he’s been hurt and hasn’t played in months.

Man I was WAY off on Penn State. I thought they were basically like Iowa last year.

I hope everyone remembered they are without their starting PG who is a stud and that's the main reason they didn't pick them far...

Who is the coach with the really scratchy voice, doing color on the Tenn. game?

PTM was an absolute unit!

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

If Houston loses, my bracket is toast. Which is fine because I love toast.

Stan Van Gundy

No. I picked Arizona, A&M, Virginia and Houston to go further.

Tennessee is not the worst of my bracket lol.

Sampson laying down the excuses thick during post game. He knows his team is going to lose to Auburn.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I had them for the first round. Pickett is the real deal, and they have a toughness about them. They have the ability to look really bad at times too though.

Stan Van Gundy

Is that his voice or does he have strep?
