A lot of upsets but the #1’s held serve. Edey 30 & 21. First time in the tournament since’95.

haven't seen UCONN much this year but have some guys at work that follow Butler really close besides being IU fans and they all agree that the UCONN center would eat Edey's lunch if we see a Purdue vs UCONN matchup.

He’s more mobile than Edey.

Eat his lunch is a bit over the top but I do think UConn is good enough to take down Purdue. PU does need big numbers from Edey and UConn doesn't need that kind of production from Clingan.

Lot of games between now and that potential matchup however.

The Creighton Oregon game was great. Oregon had the game at the end of regulation and the first OT, but Creighton found a way to tie it each time. I thought Oregon just ran out of gas in the second OT.

Bruce Pearl and Steve Alford going out in round one makes this tournament an ultimate winner regardless of whatever happens from here.

Thank you, Dear Lord Baby Jesus.

Creighton is well coached and does a fantastic job creating open shots for themselves. As a UCONN grad ‘ obviously pulling for them, but Creighton, Gonzaga, and Carolina are the 3 teams that I feel nervous about.

Creighton matches up well against Purdue as well. There’s a decent chance for an all Big East Championship.

At a time when Marquette lost its basketball identity, Shaka Smart became available and it’s been damn near a match made in heaven. His style of play fits Marquette perfectly.

Houston/A&M game was real good. Id love to know the last time a team shot 50 free throws and lost.

My guys made it to the Sweet 16, so I can 't complain with whatever happens from here. They're now playing with house money.

When was the last time a team shot that many and damn near missed half of them 🤮

38% from the field and 64% from the line on 45 attempts is pathetic.

1 seed UNC and 4 seed Bama are putting on a good game. UNC was up by 10 at one point in the first half, but Bama has made a comeback and they've been swapping the lead back & forth the past few minutes. UNC still probably wins this one, but my guys aren't going quietly.
