As Indiana, Maryland, Penn State and Michigan aren't in the tournament, finding it very easy to pull for all the B1G teams.

Let's go Sparty

 

[RU205]

I hope this MSU vs MSU game is a good one.

 

[bac2therac]

Sparty up 20-8 with about 10 to go in first half...if they go onto win and play like this vs UNC they can beat them

 

[Joey Bags]

Wow i was expecting sparty to get jellied

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Well, there goes my bracket!

 

[fatsam98]

Was really impressed by Miss St in person. Haven't watched any of their season outside of that game... not looking very good so far. Very sloppy

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

Yeah, I picked Miss St to win this and upset UNC. Bracket busted already?

 

[mikebal9]

Make it 20-15. This is nowhere near over. Btw, if it's Michigan State, I think they'll beat UNC. It's a coaching mismatch.

 

[RUblackshirt2006]

Yeah people are really on Michigan State winning this one and maybe the next, but if they are so good then why are they 19-14?

 

[RUJMM78]

Michigan State making 3 pointers is the reason they are leading,Rutgers shot bricks against Mississippi State.

 

[RUJMM78]

Make it 20-15. This is nowhere near over. Btw, if it's Michigan State, I think they'll beat UNC. It's a coaching mismatch.

North Carolina has elite talent that can compensate for any coaching issues.

they dont really play physical defense in the sec, good matchup for Sparty

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

Wow. The BYU mascot really looks like a bad taxidermy job.

 

[fatsam98]

Let's go Dukes

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

they dont really play physical defense in the sec, good matchup for Sparty

But is that the thing that allegedly bites the Big Ten in the ass every year?

 

[fatsam98]

Avery Johnson's voice gives me anxiety. He talks way too slowly

[bac2therac]

Yuck byu wtf

 

[fatsam98]

Spartyyyy

 

[bac2therac]

Creighton strugglin

 

[Knight Owl]

Mississippi St certainly not helping the cause for future Power 6 teams with losing conference records…

 

[fatsam98]

Quad Box on my TV now. Basketball bliss

 

[fatsam98]

Duquesne up 13. I keep waiting for the BYU run..

 

[fatsam98]

Izzo's kid in the game lol

 

[MadRU]

Charles Barkley wrong again. Lol

 

[knight82]

Charles Barkley wrong again. Lol

I just can't understand why they have NBA guys in the studio. Need people in tuned to the college game

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

Dixon on Dusquane has a better shot than Cliff

 

[rutgersguy1]

Quad Box on my TV now. Basketball bliss

Was about to say YouTube Tv multiview will be good for watching. I see they’ve added a new functionality too where you can build your own multiview as well but maybe not every combo is available.

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

Let's get some shooter from BYU

 

[bac2therac]

Stormin Mormons coming back

 

[fatsam98]

Zona hanging tough with Long Beach

 

[knight82]

These announcers can't be rooting harder for BYU

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

They can shoot the 3

 

[fatsam98]

Duquesne moves on!

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

@bac2therac forget what thread it was, but you pointed out how BYU was overseeded for a couple of reasons. That was a fantastic observation that I applied to my bracket predictions. Much appreciated.

 

[Sweet Peas Corner]

I just hate losing the 2nd game of the day.

 

[fatsam98]

@bac2therac forget what thread it was, but you pointed out how BYU was overseeded for a couple of reasons. That was a fantastic observation that I applied to my bracket predictions. Much appreciated.

I thought he said they should have been a 5 and Duquesne a 12 so to keep it fair they moved them both (to accommodate bid stealers)

 

[RUtrumpet92]

0 for 2! My bracket, that is.

 

[bac2therac]

@bac2therac forget what thread it was, but you pointed out how BYU was overseeded for a couple of reasons. That was a fantastic observation that I applied to my bracket predictions. Much appreciated.

no it was the opposite.....Duquense was overseeded...everything on their resume and metrics pointed to them being a 12

BYU was originally seeded as a 5 and was pushed to a 6 flipping with Gonzaga because of the no Sunday policy'

this was really a 5-12 matchup.....a weak performance by BYU vs a team that wasnt all that good until the A10 tourney
