First round had its share of close exciting finishes but it was devoid of upsets. I think this second round could see those upsets come and really well matched games on the docket.

Still do not like that they cram alot of evening games together going on at the same time whiile they do stand alones for 2 games in the afternoon. In the evening there will be 4 games going on at once while the two earlier games are shown with no competition

I'd be shocked if ND wins. WVU has put so many deposits in the mental bank. Notre Dame has worked so hard for what they have. Brey smart to get Farrell rest. I still don't see him and the team fresh with 5 minutes left.

We are seeing more outstanding point guards. Corey HAS to learn how to shoot. Absolute MUST.

Wisconsin was so poorly seeded.... Minnesota a 5? MD a 6? and Wisconsin a 8? They are legit, won't surprise me if they beat NOVA. They Are a 5 seed at worst

They should be a 6...big 10 was penalized because they didn't get alot of quality wins in early non conference play but I think they have a few schools peaking while other leagues are falling off

Wisky up 31-27 at half. Nova kept in check. Really little seperating these 2 schools. Besides last year Nova had flamed out in the round of 32 3 times in the last 7 years as a one or two seed.

Rooting for Nova though because I have them winning it all in one bracket

While I do not want Wisconsin to win this game, Gard is that generic guy who shows up and assassinates you.

Very inconsistent reffing, on both ends, though calls/non calls seem to be favoring Wisky so far.

Wisky got the call there. Right call, but they got it. Really pulling for Wisky, and I have Nova to win it all!

Two bad plays offensively by Hart. Last one against Happ made no sense. Brunson was unstoppable, not sure why they didn't go to him.

Wisconsin fans can be obnoxious, but very happy the Badgers knocked off Villanova.
All the commentators were saying B1G was no good and would not do anything in the tournament. Ummm, wrong..
