Sanford got screwed on that block. Another Kansas favouritism. Just like the shot clock violation and a few other things against SIU back then when we played them.  So much favouring the blue bloods most of the time

@kiwiball 

just like the seed.  How is a team that lost 10 games a 4?

And that team was barely over .500 in conference.  It's ONE thing if McCullar was coming back but not playing this team just isn't that good and will get beat soundly by Gonzaga.  If 'you' are a betting person, the Zags are only a 4.5 favorite.  That line should be 7.5 and could easily end up being a double digit loss for Kansas.

They also went 13-23 on free throws. Was pulling for them but they did it to themselves

FAU has the same lineup as last year but looks so different.  They hit 37% as a team from 3 last year, yet are hitting only 30% this year.  Their turnovers, unforced, are head scratching.  This game is not over, but they just don't look like they're in the same "league" as Northwestern.  And while FAU has Davis, Buie is in a class by himself.

From Barkeeps original post:

I filled out 4 brackets this year; 3 are serious and were submitted in three different pools.  The 4th was just for fun with some highly unlikely predictions.

Ok sound off  who is the champ? 

  1. UCONN (beating UK...oh well...)
  2. Purdue (beating UCONN)
  3. Illinois (beating Purdue)
  4. New Mexico (beating Purdue)

whats the big upsets ?

  • In 3 of 4 brackets I had LBSU beating Arizona
  • In 2 of 4 brackets I had Duquesne beating BYU (Hate BYU the way some on here hate South Bend Jr Comm College)
  • In 2 of 4 brackets I have WKU beating Marquette
  • In my fun bracket I have the UVM Catamounts taking down Duke; Yale beating Auburn; WSU > Drake; Colgate > Baylor; Charleston > Alabama; Akron > Creighton; JMU > Wisconsin; SDSU > UCONN; Morehead > Illinois; St. Pete's > Tenn; but crossed out the Oakland > UK. 

How far does the Drake go ? 

In 2 brackets I had Drake losing in the second round and one bracket losing in the Sweet Sixteen to Illinois.

let’s not create threads for every game. Just put them here 

Go Dawgs!

Anyone else see Antonio Petty call the ball out of bounds when it was clearly in at the end of reg in NW/FAU? He almost single handedly blew the game, one of the worst officials on the planet.  No idea how he has a job, let alone officiating a tournament game after he proved his worthless existence in valley play.

I'm surprised nobody has been ejected from this game

Western Kentucky up 10 on #2 Marquette.  Steve Lutz is a hell of a coach.  I do not want to see him leaving WKU right now.

I try not to be critical of officials, but I thought the quality of officiating in the MVC this year was not very good. It might be time to look at some new, and younger, officials.
