Big Ten with record for most wins by a conference in the first two rounds.

I don't think that's true, as the SEC had 8 first round and 7 second round wins last year (they had 7 sweet 16 teams).

UCLA is a blue blood and Mick Cronin isn't blue blood material. He's embarrassed their program with his antics, fire him and hire somebody that can elevate them.

Since Jan 14, Iowa has played 18 games. He played 45min in one, 40 in 11, 39 in four, and 38 in two. So I'm not actually sure if he is human

Props to him. That is freaking insane fitness to do that in the B1G. The last I remember players doing that sort of thing were Anderson Hunt and Greg Anthony on that championship UNLV team back in 89-90. Both of them would play 40 minutes every night without a break, which I thought was pretty amazing at the time. But Hunt and Anthony got the benefit of playing in a really crappy conference where they were rarely challenged.

I was pretty confident in this upset but yeah.
I'm not any more impressed by this UCONN squad than I was going in. Good, not great.

Pretty sure this UCONN squad would lose at least 6 conference games in the B1G. This is a team that lost to bad Creighton and Marquette teams.

UCLA just decided all offense is dead now. Missed 6 of last 7 FTs in addition to not being able to hit any shots.

This UConn v UCLA game could possibly feature the two most annoying, bitchy and whiniest coaches in the game right now.

Just saw the replay of the Iowa winning shot again. Even if he missed it, Iowa had the advantage and was in place for an offensive rebound and enough time to get another shot up for a tie. Really bad defense by Florida. Clutch by Iowa.

Yep...once Stirtz got the advantage on his man it was over. Defender had to cut him off leaving corner wide open.

6 B1G teams in the S16, and 3 of them will be favored for the E8, possibly 4 (depends on the early UConn-MSU line). Either way, biggest dog is probably an Illinois team that is a basket underdog to Houston in Houston.

Wow. We're just a one basket underdog? If I were a betting man, I'd throw a whole bunch of money on Houston at that line. Houston is an absolutely nightmarish matchup for us with their athleticism and defense.
