Oregon tied it at 52 and seemed to wake up the Badgers. Not a great performance but they appear to be moving on as long as they survive the unintentional intentional fouls coming at them in the final minute.

Maryland looking soft versus WVU. I thought they would do better today. Huggy Bear in good position for the sweet 16 with 7 minutes left.

Not so fast my friend. While I really like the Shockers, I would not be surprised, as much as I would hate it, for Notre Dame to beat them. I also am not that convinced that NC State is that good but I do not think Louisville is that good either so that game is probably a tossup to me right now..

Just in terms of broadcasters, this is nothing new because he's been doing the tournament for a few years, but Gottlieb really likes to hear his own voice or something.

I can't think of other tournament broadcasters that seem to be 'trolling' multiple times a game.

NC State beat Louisville in the regular season. NC State has multiple ball-handlers that can handle Louisville's pressure defense - I would think if they shoot a decent percentage they will probably win that game.

I did not realize that. Clark Kellog had NC State losing to LSU in the first game. I watch them play a little bit in the second game and they are also pretty big inside so you are probably correct it will come down to their backcourt and shooting.

My question is who do you really want to see win it all?

1. No way I'd root for Kentucky, Notre Dame, Duke, or Wisky (i.e. Ryan).
2. Don't really like West Virginia or Louisville either.
3. Not a fan of "little sister's of the poor schools", which eliminates Gonzaga.
4. Would like to see an Ohio school do good: however, I don't really think Xavier has a chance.
5. It would be nice to see Michigan State do for B1G basketball what Ohio State did for B1G football, and Izzo is the "Urban Meyer equivalent" of basketball coaches. Besides Sparty can't be all that bad, they dislike scUM too, so

I get the whole Ohio thing, but part of me is tiring of Dayton. Kind of ridiculous that an 11 seed basically got 3 home games. Won't bother me if they get sent packing.

Yeah, that game in Dayton was a joke, and they needed the home crowd to rally past Boise State. Now at least we don't have to hear about Jordan Sibert anymore. Lucky draw this year for sure for a team that was the last to make the tournament.
