good luck with 4 ACC schools in the final 4

I dont like St Mary's at all vs an experienced Nova

and it will be interesting to see if Maryland crumbles again. Remember a school from the first 4 has won every year since it started in 2011. I like Belmont

and of course I like Wofford over SHU
 
PJ Washington is really hurt
They had him as doubtful
They had him w a boot
Now he’s in a hard cast and out tonight
 
Is it just me or is there more potential for conference mates to see each other early on than in most years?
If Minnesota (10) wins, they'll most likely play Michigan State in the second round and the winner of that could potentially play #6 Maryland in the Sweet 16.

Duke and Va Tech as a 1 and 4 line up to meet in the Sweet 16.
 
Yale being blitzed by LSU 9-0 timeout. Can’t even get a good look
 
LSU is in the tourney? Did Will Wade explain away his phone conversation that was recorded? This is a tournament for amateur basketball players, not paid athletes.

Minny up 38-33 at half. Great game to start the tourney. Minny always dangerous when they're shooting is on but they rely on almost entirely on starting 5 to get it done
 
Yale settled down. Not forcing it inside. Might have a game after all.
 
If Minny wins it is stupid that in the Round of 32 2 B1G teams would play

Agree.. and Minny at 10 was wrong...two wins in 12 days should have put them solidly as a 8/9 game. Ok and Ole Miss are bad teams in 8/9 games. Ditto for Cuse/Bay.

The stupid process that put the 5th team MSU in the bracket with top seed Duke...thats not how this works
