Tournament has been chalky so far ... 1-4 seeds were 16-0 in round 1, which probably happens about a 1/3 of the time. But they are now 4-0 today as well. And the games today haven't been particularly competitive down the stretch.

Looks like Texas-Gonzaga will be different.

Correct. Texas was tough.

 

[Maxsumm]

Gonzaga is such a fraud every year get the benefit of playing in an easy conference. They did beat some strong schools early in the year

 

[Cstate]

Sean Miller = great coach

That'll bust some brackets

Sean Miller = great coach

And he looks like he’s lost some weight

Chalk makes the first couple rounds less exciting but does make for great sweet sixteen/elite eight.

Not sure which I prefer.

Always root for the Zags, but this wasn't a top ten Few team
Guess I'll root for St John's for a while.

I noticed that too, not as sweaty.

Bill Self looks pretty good too. Must have dropped 30 pounds.

He did. His heart problems really scared him from local articles I've read. Think he's vegetarian now.

The Nebraska crowd is LOUD. Holy crap. It's almost hard to watch the game.

They boo every single call...they didn't seem so upset on that double dribble for Nebraska that wasn't called though. Weber, "you can't even get away with that in the church league." lol

It’s a home game

Young Hoiberg with some big shots. No quit in Vandy.

Duke Miles was pretty sensational in the SEC tourney.

He had a pretty great season.

Tonight, he may be the single worst guard I've ever seen play basketball at this level. lol He needs to get it going if they're going to win this game.

Frager doesn’t look like much but that kid can play

 

[cuseattle]

Nebraska with 8 team fouls and there's still almost 10 minutes left

 

[Ghost]

Okereke's story is so very cool.

It's pretty much the Jimmy Boeheim story at Cornell - but it's true! lol

Vandy killing them on the offensive glass

Is High Point a cult? This is sicko stuff.

 

[Ghost]

Both these teams are hitting some shots now. Dang.

I've heard people refer to it as a cult - but not sure why... (I didn't watch the vid yet)

I feel like generally what I have read/heard is that it's a rich kid school - and not really legit. It's sort of modeled after "fake" Chinese schools where rich stupid kids can go (the ones that can't get into elite schools for whatever reason) and instead have some fun and pull some A+ grades!
