Will be interesting to see how the Big Ten does this year. Didn't perform well in the Big Ten/Big East challenge...which seemed to be reflected in just OK seeding for Big Ten teams.

Yup so far I'm glad we played last night instead of here against CSU. Michigan could turn it around though, sort of the opposite of what happened against Indiana.

Best case scenario for all of our sanity is that all the 6 seeds dominate.

I'm so annoyed at the favorable whistle Indiana and now Michigan are getting.

I give you guys credit for being able to jump back in so quickly. I will probably turn the TV on at some point but I think it might just put me back into a bit of a funk about our game last night.

A Michigan win isn’t a cure for sports sadness so I will start watching the tournament after their game.

Big Ten might still be in for a bad tournament but 2-0 against the Mountain West.

Been listening to some podcasts and they’ve been beating the drum that the NCAA is trying to kill mid majors.

For example, Murray State and San Fran were two teams expected to make noise and they get matched up with each other.

Then they run into a 2 seeded Kentucky because in theory 2 seeds aren’t unbeatable, but it’s also unlikely.

That goes both ways because they ensure at least one gets a shot at Kentucky. Is it really better if it's USC-San Francisco and Murray vs. Miami?

Csu didnt even win the regular season MW or conference tourney yet were overseeded at 6 because of their Net. Boise did both that and were slammed with an 8. Results should matter

Memphis and Michigan making a good case to include strong preseason priors when filling out a bracket.

Well sure because you’re increasing the amount of teams that can make a mini run.

They like the upsets for the first round, they don’t like them in the sweet 16.

Realistically those teams aren’t knocking off Kentucky.
