Not too many really intriguing matchups to me. Kind of boring actually.

 

Yeah my only interest left is to see UConn lose, as there are only seven schools that have repeated and I want to keep it that way.

 

Illinois v Iowa state
Creighton v Tennessee
I think those are the games I sit and watch, maybe some of the Houston v Duke game, but I think they cram Duke in a locker pretty early on.

 

Oooooh . . . . I'm going to have to go ahead and . . . sort of disagree with you there.
Personally, I'm interested in watching Bama/NC, SDst/UConn, and IL/IA st tonight. I'll be rooting for IL.
Tomorrow I'm interested in Purdue/Zags, and TN/Creighton. I'll be rooting for Creighton to knock the stinkin' vols out.

 

And just like that...............Zona is GONE!!!

 

Nauseating to see Bama playing still especially since we owned them in 2 games and should have won the 3rd.

 

IL doing great against IAst, except at the FT line, where they have missed 11 shots (something like 4 for 15).

 

Especially watching UNC struggle to score in this 2nd half when we scored at will in all 3 games. Bacot with a brutal turnover and a missed dunk and Davis settling for contested 3's when they've been in the bonus for the last 5-6 minutes.

 

UNC got the memo, a drive for a layup, a floater in the lane, then attacked the big and got a foul on the hard hedge, then a drive to the hoop and another foul called. 8 points in a row.

Then some dude jacks up a 3 and they miss. Stupid basketball there by UNC.

 

Alabama and Clemson yuck

 

And just like that...............Carolina is GONE!!!

 

Iowa State going down too.......man what a way to implode there at the very end......oof........

 

I only want to see Tennessee lose. We can't have them joining the ranks of NCAABB champions. We need to be able to hold that over them forever. Look at UGA fans now that they won a couple football rings after 50 years. Those peasants think they can look us directly in the eyes now.

EDIT: Add Bama to this too. I didn’t realize they were still playing. No SEC rings unless it’s us!

 

SEC! SEC! / sarcasm

 

Setting up for a Florida disaster

UCONN, Bama, Tenn are all bad outcomes.

 

NC State showed up!

 

NC st caught fire at the right time and played easily the weakest three-game stretch of any tourney team. Hard not to feel that if FL didn't get jobbed that there's a decent chance we'd be playing Duke/Houston to go to the FF.
