NCAA TOURNEY FIRST ROUND DISCUSSION THREAD

Really hammers home how weak the B1G is this year.

A little early to make that statement for the entire conference. The B1G has no great team, but has depth. Let's see hoe the first weekend plays out.
 
Mason has to step up, hasn't had a good game yet. He can be a difference maker down the stretch.
 
really great comeback by Minny but then they seemed to fall back into the same stupid mistakes again....young team first time NCAA really showing....seem to lack that leader to gather them..they go to 4 and then just to 6 but have really lost some composure
 
Minnesota should have been 6 or 7...how they got 5 and Wisky 8 is sort of a head scratcher.

anyhow looks like Ricky has imploded with the T..game over....Minnesota didnt play well and their lack of experience hurt as when things went wrong they lacked composure...should have known that when I did my brackets...had them in Sweet 16.

Vandy closing the gap vs Northwestern
 
wonder why this region had 3 announcers doing the game...I actually am liking Debbie Antonelli's perspective. She knows her stuff and adding some in depth analysis that some guys do not do
 
I think Doug Collins is going to have a heart attack in the stands.
 
Quote of the tourney so far

Steve Lappas: "I Feel Sick Right Now"

can you imagine what the Vandy message board looks like
 
McIntosh for Northwestern is the type of go to player that Rutgers has lacked for a very long time.This was a great college game and the B1G really need the win after the Minnesota loss.The 3 point shot allowed Vanderbilt to get back in the game.
 
on the phone with a friend could not believe the foul. Vandy is good example of a team not that talented but they can shoot the ball.
 
only one upset today as a 12 takes a 5 down but several close ones

that FSU game vs FGC could be an interesting one

I know some like Nevada over Iowa State but not big on that myself

Maryland should be able to handle Xavier who isnt the same team without their player.

I think Wisky experience will get it done tonight too
 
I have VCU, think Tillman guy will hurt St.mary's. Vandy can shoot don't think they are that good but can shoot.

Rutgers will never successfully recruit players like McIntosh. And I really mean never.

No upsets yet. Game opened pickem and Midd Tenn closed as a favorite.
