I don't like Memphis but damn that's 2 heartbreakers in a row. They had Gonzaga on the ropes last year.

I can't remember so many round one upsets.
Kansas State leads Montana State. MSU is in Bozeman. Yellowstone is filmed there. My grandmother used to live 30 minutes from Bozeman so I know it well. Beautiful town. Right near Yellowstone National Park.

Other than Pitt, FDU, and Florida Atlantic I have been very unhappy with the results today. Drake and Kennesaw State had upsets in the bag and both executed in the last five minutes horribly. Arizona State missed key free throws late and took a few too many 3s.

Hurley called some great timeouts down the stretch to settle them down and had them right there to win it, but Miles Jr. made a great pass in the double team leading to a winning floater for K-State. We've had some upsets, but a lot of chalk has won today and yesterday.

Tennessee is 6th in Kenpom and 5th in Barttorvik. The metrics would have them as a 2 or 3 seed at worst. We have them as a second round match up as a 4 seed. This is a team we should be meeting in the sweet sixteen or elite eight.

Duke is in for it tomorrow. I hope Duke wins, but this blatant disregard for our opponent by some is ridiculous. We will struggle to get up quality shots against their defense. Have to be strong with the ball, play our game, and fight. They'll be ready.

Pisgah, how in the hell can you not see how good they are? I'm not being combative; just seriously asking.
Read the game day thread I explained it.. facts are facts. Can they beat us? Yes but they aren’t in a favorable position without their PG.. they aren’t even UVA good without him

No way we beat them by double digits. Facts are they're the second-best defensive team in the country. They're a great rebounding team, and they smother you on the defensive end. I want Duke to win, but I am not blind. This will be way more difficult than you realize. I hope you're right. I hope we beat the barn doors off of them, but I don't see it. This is a game played tightly contested that comes down to a few key possessions. I'll eat crow if I am wrong, though.
