7:09- Ole miss vs Michigan State
7:39- Kentucky vs Tennessee
9:39- Michigan vs Auburn
10:09- Purdue vs Houston


Should be a fun slate. Hoping the old head Izzo wins out, Auburn should win as well.


I think the UK UT game will be awesome and I like both teams (I know yall hate them) but I would salivate at the idea of a Duke/Kentucky final four so go cats

Hope Purdue can pull off the win in Indy

Ill take Ole Miss, UT, Auburn, and Purdue. I think Izzo is a good coach but I think if Duke met them the refs would try their best to give them the game just like they tried last night.

I rewatched all the bad calls. Pretty blatant the one guy was whistling the fouls before there was anything to really see. Not sure why he felt he had to change during the game. Pathetic.

Ole Miss - For Jaemyn Brakefield (he sent unc packing)
Tennessee - For the meltdown on Rupp's Rafters (so they can cry about the refs some more)
Auburn - Don't care for Michigan fans
Houston - Get tired of all the "big ten" talk that seems to happen every season when the big ten never does any thing in the ncaa tournament year in and year out

Yeah, there were a few that the ref making the call couldn't even have seen due to players in his line of sight, let alone seen contact. AZ covered the spread, which was probably the goal for that official.

I’m sure MSU will win but man I wish we had St John’s or MSU as our 2. Both are not nearly as good as Bama

This Ole Miss - Michigan State game is hard to watch. Duke would sandpaper both their asses. The defense is good, but I’m no so sure if it’s because both offenses are so bad.

I haven't watched enough of the Johnnie's to make a prediction but think I've watched enough of MSU to think we would wax them.

I live about 40 minutes west of Philadelphia so the whole Philly-NY hoops scene is big here. Watched alot of St John’s- for sure had a great season and Pitino is a hell of a coach but Bama is a much tougher out than both those teams. I think tomorrow’s game will be tougher than either potential final four matchup we would have.

I’ve been hating that Marriott commercial with Elliott Cadeau for a couple seasons now, but all of a sudden, I like it.

A 3-seed and 7/8 chalk
Other than McNeese St beating Clemson in the first round, the Midwest Region has been all chalk (13/14 games)
In the East, #9 Baylor beat an 8 and #6 BYU beat a 3 to get to the Sw16 (12/14 games)
South: #9 Creighton beat an 8, #5 Michigan beat a 4, #6 Ole Miss beat a 3 to get to the Sw16, and #10 NM beat a 7 (10/14 games)
IN the West, #10 Arkansas beat a 7 and a 2, the latter being the BIGGEST upset of the tourney so far; #11 Drake beat a 6, and #12 Colorado St beat a 5. (10/14 games)

45/56 games have been chalk; Arkansas is the only team that won 2 games as the underdog.

Looks like to win a natty we have to do it the hard way.
In 2010 and 2015 we had help with other teams losing.

We played a 4,3,2 on way to meeting underdog butler-

15 we played- 5, 2, 7, 1

Really the only team in either year that was perceived as “better” was Kentucky. Not our fault they lost both years and we then BEAT the teams that beat them.

I think ultimately the top seeds this year were just better, if you want to call it the hard way that’s fine but whoever wins it all this year will have the same path
