I think it was more "Clemson hasn't been a good team in a month and didn't deserve a 6 seed, so New Mexico should be the better team in this matchup".

Granted, in a one and done, the better team doesn't always win, but New Mexico has not shown up thus far.

Put into stats, Clemson is the 41st best team in NCAA since Feb 1, while New Mexico has been the 29th.

Stetson effectively tipping their hats early to UConn, trailing 26-6 10 minutes in.

I took UAB as an against the grain 12 with so many people on McNeese and JMU. Would love to see it come through. I know absolutely nothing about their team. :D

Last year they were a 9 seed that won the CUSA tournament and caught a huge break when Purdue lost so they could walk to the Sweet 16. That sweet 16 they played really well and squeaked by 2 teams.

This year they effectively were the same team they were for 5 months last year instead of the team they were for one weekend last year.

Last year FAU ended the season 35-4 at #17 in KenPom, then returned 8 of their top 9 best players and finished this year 25-8 at #40 in KenPom.

That’s a pretty big letdown.

They were an 8 & lost in overtime to a 9.
I don’t think that’s a remarkable failure.
They caught fire last March. That run isn’t really representative of their larger body of work.

They were given the benefit of doubt all season long by being ranked based on expectations, though.

Definitely underperformed those expectations

So I had this dream of UCONN being this years version of last years Purdont. I turned on the game with 1 min left in the first half. Stetson only had scored 15 points... 15.... UCONN had 50... So I guess it falls to Purdont to be this years Purdont again.

FAU 20 turnovers.. Not going to win many games doing that, particular against a team that plays like NW

Someone is going to smack me for saying this but I hope that we end up facing UConn and then curb stomp them. But gotta beat Duquesne first…..

Would like to listen to the game Robbie Hummel is calling, but it’s the AntiChrist’s game.
