They do seem to be one of the most brittle high seeds in recent history. Nobody should pick a bunch of 1 seeds to make it to the final 4 anyway - it rarely happens. If you pick a bunch of 1 seeds, then whether or not you win will come down to if you picked Iowa and Oklahoma in the first round. That's no fun anyway.

UCI wins.

Don't fill out a bracket. Just sit back and cheer for chaos.

I don't have them in the final 4, I do have them in the elite 8 though...

Tennessee is discovering Colgate is not just toothpaste.

Colgate/Tennessee is a one point game in the second half

UVA doing well on their path to be in the top 5 of "1 seeds to lose to 16 seeds."

If you're UVa and lose this one, do you just give up basketball?

Gardner-Webb looked awesome when they played us. I don't think they win but it's surprising they've hung in this game this long.

12-2 run by Virginia in the second half. Wow.

G-W down by 11 with 11 to play. It looks like they're toast.

22-5 in the second half. Wow.

Not really, I don't think that many make it out of this weekend. Now the Big.....

Well, it looks 50/50 whether or not the Pac 12 will win 1 single game in the tournament.

Disappointed to learn this was fake news.
NCAA Tournament: No, Colgate basketball didn’t leave star guard in New York

The tweet, of course, was false. Burns flew with the team, as evidenced in real time by the program’s Twitter account, though that didn’t stop local and national media outlets from blindly picking up on the story. CBS New York and 247Sports.com published posts, clearly without attempting to confirm the (mis)information.

Yet, the first question for Burns at the team’s press conference on Thursday was a genuine one about the trip.

“Jordan, there was a story circulating that you took an Uber to get here -- could you just go into detail about that whole experience?” a reporter asked.

“That wasn’t true at all,” Burns responded. “Fake news.”

Also funny to see 247 caught up in it after they disparaged Rivals for getting catfished with the fake recruit.

Another nice upset by Liberty. Sidenote, mark price's son josh is a freshman on the team. Maybe redshirting this year?
