Nichols was an enormous loss. To still have a solid season after losing what may have been our best player was pretty satisfying, and they could have easily won several more. Lost a couple at the buzzer and a couple of other close ones because of bad FT shooting. If we can at least get to the S16, I'd say this was a successful year.
Easy upset call though. Minnesota had no business getting a 5 seed. And MTSU has the experience. I'd pat self on back but I'm pretty sure the damn 12 seed was a 1.5 point FAVORITE entering this game. Nice job committee!!
but so was their last possession. Twenty or so seconds, down by 1, and they pass the ball exactly zero times and their guy launches a 3 from 5 feet behind the line. Brutal shot.

Same thing Princeton did at the end of their game.

College and the NBA. Teams just are way too in love with the 3 Point shot.
8-0 in one; 7-1 in the other (I chose Florida and ETSU to hedge). northwestern gave me a scare as had them in both, but you can always count on Vanderbilt for tournament choking. year in, year out - never fails.
against almost any other 4 seed, Bucknell probably gets a W. Tough matchup against a team that pressed for 40 minutes. Even then, they hung tough and had a couple horrendous calls against them.
I did call Winthrop losing by 12 though.
I had to stay away from TV, radio, & internet all day
so I could watch the Zags game unspoiled tonight, which is a lot more difficult than I thought. As for the game, the Zags couldn't hit an open shot (3 or free throw) if their lives depended on it. They were definitely tight as a drum.
I do feel a little better seeing that Nova was only up 1 at the half. But they're pulling away now.
St. Mary's beating VCU down is shocking.
Musketeers relying too much on shots beyond the arc

I'm sure UCLA, would love for them to hire Alford.

I'm undefeated thus far, though Maryland is doing me no favors right now.
Melo has been insanely disappointing. I thought he was going to be a star and was hoping for the Knicks to draft him one day.
Now I don't know if he'll ever play more than 20 minutes in an NBA game.

Now down 2. .
Guess it didn't matter, Maryland is terrible.
Who would've thought.
Why are you on an NCAA tourney thread?
The JV plays when the big boys aren't on.
