Listen, you don’t get to brag about having a perfect bracket if you filled out MULTIPLE brackets. It just doesn’t work like that :)

Agree. My 6th bracket is still perfect after 8 games (sarcaism).

Right there with you with that result.

Hard not to root for Murray State though!

I expect Nevada to make a pretty fierce comeback.

Right now they are playing like St John's of the west.

They are so talented but force iso offense constantly and play so sloppy.

They should be better than they are.

They are not a good defensive team. That did them in in last season's tourney and will likely do the same this time.

Down 12 with just over 7 to play. Not looking good.

Villanova down 2 to St. Marys at half.

Could the mighty BE go 0 for the tournament?

They usually play undisciplined. They call them a G League team. A bunch of transfers trying to show their pro talent.

Tantrums...unnecessary. Not seeing any way that could possibly be helpful...

ETA: Can't help it, but seeing it over again, that is such a crazy bad look. Won't ever happen, but going after a kid, in such a way that you've got to be held back, multiple times...is ridiculous. I get yelling a kid momentarily, it happens, but to keep going after him in such a way that they keep playing it over and over again on TV...His conference should suspend him. How can you expect kids to learn any self-control if the coach doesn't have any?

Not a fan of either one either...but I'm definitely good with the outcome. I do kinda like the idea that there was the chitstorm raised about NV's SOS and not playing us, and getting all set up to rock that batch of seniors and transfers...most experienced team ever, blah blah blah...and then they get bounced in the first round. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agree, it’s a nice change of pace from the suit

It just bugged me the size of the logo, etc on the polo, then magnified that it was Nevada and Musselman haha

Unnecessary in the public arena at least. At least if that is your style in practice it is amongst the team only and may be helpful outside the game pressure. During a game this only serves to:

a) Embarrass the player in front of millions.
b) Make a big show of "hey look at that big-time college coach COACHING."

These aren't very helpful in the goal at hand to win a single-elimination tourney game.

I should clarify that guys like Dan are very emotional, he could get upset at the group but I don't ever recall him singling out a player and just going after them like what happened in this case.

So, I'm slow and probably missed in this thread, but...Frank Howard suspended? "suspended indefinitely for what the team described as "a violation of athletic department policy." I wonder what that means?

Close one with Baylor so far...

Surprised at Worford. I watched their conference title game and they were extremely average. Big East ain’t looking good.

Wofford has a shot at going far. They are almost the same team from last year and I can see them giving Kentucky a really hard time and even pulling off the upset. I have them going far.

Yes, he did
I watched the whole game
Score was 67-66 Wofford ahead with about 4.5 minutes to go. It was a battle back and forth up to then

Then:
4:20 Nathan Hoover hit a 3
3:50 Nathan Hoover hit another 3
3:11 Fletcher Magee hit a 3
and just like that it was 76-66.
Then it went to 86-66 so Wofford scored 19 unanswered points

Seton Hall hit a basket with 30 seconds left but the game was well over by then

Wofford just exploded on Seton Hall -
