We really need a 14, 15 or 16 seed to win today (not named Northern Kentucky) to salvage this tournament for the mid majors and my enjoyment.

Kent State please.

They just said Beleine has been at Michigan for ten years and his their all time winningest coach. Is that correct?

Anybody else have more than one tv going? I've got two at the moment, working on a third.

Big TV and iPad going. When a third game starts, I'll stream it here on my PC in a side-window and then walk back and forth. I used to stream them all on the computer from work, but since I'm home I like to have all of the sounds of the tournament going on in the background.

Yes, that is correct. He just passed Johnny Orr for all-time wins there when they beat Illinois in the BTT.

Amusing story: Orr left Ann Arbor when Iowa State called him to inquire about his assistant, the ghastly Bill Frieder, for ISU's head gig. When Orr found out how much they were going to pay Frieder, he talked his way into getting the job for himself!

Baylor ought to start each game with a 50 point deficit for wearing those ugly a$$ uniforms. What the hell is that ugly color called?

Yesterday was stress free. Now it's at that point where I've convinced myself Northern KY is the second coming of the Warriors and will give our Cats a battle!

Just got to Indy!

There are a LOT of UL fans here right now. I am sure BBN will represent but it's at least 60-70% UL fans around the arena so far.

If Baylor loses, not since DePaul will there be a more consistent flame out.

Youngster's, in the early 80's DePaul would finish every season ranked 1 or 2 with a single loss or two on the year. They opened tourney as 1 seed and would lose every time. Notre Dame was usually their best opponent.

UofL plays in the afternoon session, Kentucky plays in the night session. The real test is going to be Sunday. I'm curious to see who outnumbers who then.

NM State hitting their 3's lately. Of all the 3's I think we by far got the toughest in UCLA despite the NCAA giving UCLA the #3 ranked 3rd seed 11 overall on the S-Curve.

Oregon lost their shot blocker they could flame out early or I would rather play them feel good about it.
Baylor has gone about .500 in their last 11 games and lose early a lot would rather had them in our side they could lose or I would feel pretty good about beating them.
Florida State is pretty good but I rather play them.

UCLA worst possible draw very unlikely to lose to Kent State/Cincy/Kansas St and will be the toughest of the 3 seeds for us to play.
