Mhmmm

May have noticed they actually made the tournament.

Thanks, I missed that. My point early in the day (or was it the day before?) is that a 9 or 10 seed is hardly an upset. Of course, my brackets look like dumpster fires right now.

Nor is a 11 or 12 really that big of a deal. No one would flinch in the regular season when the 44th best team beats #22. Wouldn’t be a headline. I’m guessing the combined spread in all of those “upsets” was less than 25. Oregon was at one time favored over Wisconsin.

For this reason, I think the 8/9 seed is a lousy one. No difference in being able to play the #8 vs #7 vs #6 seed. But if you win as a 8/9, good luck to ya in round 2...

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

Narrator: Meanwhile, the Pac 12 won 2 games by more than 15 points.

Oregon seems better than many have given them credit for.....

They had an awful slump and have turned it on lately. They are really athletic so they are a dangerous team.

 

[mstranahan]

And Altman is a very good coach

PAC 12 only got two teams in, and I don't think either are in the West Region. Tournament selection committee wasn't kind to them.

Oregon also lost their best player - Bol Bol - after the first few games of the year.

Narrator: The Pac 12 had 3 teams in the tournament. One, Arizona State, was in the Western Regional after winning a "first four" game versus St. John's.

I hope not & hope they beat puke.

Thank you. And my comment is even worse when I realize that is one of the few games I have watched.

My father has been in the hospital since Saturday and I haven't even looked at a complete bracket. But he and I have watched a little bit when we can.

That will be an interesting meeting if and when it happens. Not sure if anyone has trash talked Zion this year so will be fun to see if he has any more motivation on the drive. My bet is get your poster camera ready

Maryland/LSU is painful to watch. Lots of athleticism, poor skills. Not much coaching.

Also, Jim Spanarkel sucks.
