anybody else see the Wisconsin fan violate the Oregon mascot after that last commercial break?

I don’t get McDermott to Indiana. He is perfect at creighton. Why go to a school where you’re demanded to do big things immediately and fans will turn on you in a second. Especially this late in your career. Seems strange.

Big payoff before he retires?

I love how Lunerdy instantly inserts Texas in the bracket once they......checks notes, beats a bubble team and a team that lost 5 out of 7.

Texas had lost 7 out of 9 before this tournament and now they are in becuase of 2 wins? The SEC bias by these dorks is astounding .

To be fair he might think Texas doesn't deserves to be in. He is just predicting that the committee will have a SEC bias just like they do in football.

He shifts his bubble teams around about 5 times a day just based off the latest games then seems to be ignoring the other 95% of the year.

Bucky doing the BYU thing. 17 threes.

They're as good as the play on the arc takes them on both ends.

Fortunately, might be able to avoid that, I think HPU will be a 13 (this is assuming ISU stays on 3 line ... it isn't "guarantee" it won't drop to 4, but seems low%).

Current projected 14s (via Matrix, and my list :) )
UNC Wilmington
Utah Valley (#1 seed in WAC, if GCU wins auto, probably stays same line)
Troy
Montana

UNCW has some dudes. U-Valley or perhaps Grand Canyon wouldn't be a cakewalk. The other two don't seem as threatening, to me, but y' never know.

I want no part of Grand Canyon; they won their first round game last season in the classic 12 over 5 upset and then gave Alabama a lot of trouble in the 2nd round. They have a high-major talent player in Tyon Grant-Foster, who might have started at Kansas (?) originally. No thanks to that potential matchup.

I have to wonder if Auburn is a bit vulnerable. Broom is still good but I think his injuries are lingering and they get a little flakey on D sometimes.
