[Mr. Tibbs]

a very real chance the B1G gets shut out of the Sweet 16

That will suck.

Other than PU and IU the Big Ten shouldn’t have a team in the sweet sixteen. However if IU beats the U the ACC won’t have any teams either. The SEC is having the most tournament success as of now

 

[Manual3for4peat]

I haven’t paid close enough attention to the bracket. Is it possible for the final to be Texas vs UCLA? Because it sure feels like it would only be fitting for this year.

No, but either one of those teams could meet Michigan State in the final, for whatever that’s worth.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

That will suck.

Yet someone I find myself hoping for.

 

[foby]

I can say with great confidence that I absolutely have no great interest in any of these matchups.

Will check into the 2 B1G games, and maybe watch the 2 FU's just for kicks. But these games kinda suck.

*something* I find myself hoping for.

Uconn vs st mary’s should be good. Kentucky vs K State also will be good. It does help to have a betting interest in the way of bracket pool.

Can I vomit now. Sean Miller and Xavier to sweet16. Who says being a sleaze ball doesn't pay off!

 

[jason88cubs]

I'll never understand why they don't have more games earlier

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Only 8 games vs 16 in round one. They want each game to get their share of the grease($$$$). Can't do that if you're going to overlap. Plus, they're in the primetime TV slots.

I haven’t watched a ton of KSU this year, but how does a 5-8 point guard not get abused in defense like our smaller guards do?

 

[nyc_illini]

Nowell from Kansas State is truly impressive, especially as an undersized PG (only 5'8!!). Some of the best passes I have seen in this tournament.

Reach and grab team defense

Cal or Chin with the scout?

UK doesn’t have fast guards to keep up with him and if you double him he passes the ball

[IlliniwekKDR]

Tshiebwe definitely getting the star treatment from the referees

 

[IMPE ALL STAR]

Nowell from KSU.

He is in the lane forever

 

[mydosburns]

Watching a true point guard like Nowell work is a thing of art.
