Indiana State giving MSU a game. Fun, well-coached team they got down in Terre Haute this year. (They also got a fat kid with glasses who can ball, which is a nice bonus.)

I hope Ind State beats Mich State.

Yikes, what happened to Virginia? Notre Dame's AWFUL and they smoked the Cavaliers by 22.
This is like rooting for your neighbor’s house to sell for a terrible price, when you know you’re selling your house just a few months later.
Rutgers barely scrapes by 2-12 Stonehill, 59-58. They’re making a case for worst team in the Big Ten.
McNeesse State looks to have some good players on that team, I'm sure BU is looking for a grown man to replace some of super-seniors.
FAU down 9 to Florida Gulf Coast at half. Tricky game for the Owls as it is their first true road game coming off a thrilling emotional rollercoaster of a win.
Man I’m conflicted…FAU losing would likely get us a top 10 ranking, but it also lessens our marquee win.
IMO we should be long-termist.
FGCU hangs on to upset #7 FAU. College basketball...pretty wild stuff.
OSU headed into overtime vs West Virginia. Battle going crazy this game.

I don't know what to make of FAU... they have a super weird profile now with the bad losses to Bryant and FGCU. They are going to wind up a 5 or 6 seed or something and some teams in their bracket will not be happy.
also play in a tougher conference this season(AAC) with teams like Memphis. Will be interesting to see how their season unfolds
I think they’ll end up on the 3-4 line.
Pat Chambers, remember him? He is in his second year at FGCU.
There was never going to be a world where FAU didn’t have a handful of bad losses this year. They were smart to schedule such a difficult noncon. When you play a full conference schedule of “scrubs” to half decent mid majors + Memphis they were bound to have some let downs
This same FGCU squad needed OT and a lucky bounce on a buzzer beating three pointer just to beat NAIA Florida Memorial in their last game. And they were already down 3 starters too apparently.
Sounds like FAU just didn't bother to suit up for this one which is going to bite them in the behind in terms of seeding.

Did they go to same place Coleman went for his birthday last year?
Mid-Major Jokic. From the south suburbs and played with Meanstreets
I just think there's a general lack of mental toughness these days among ball players. No one brings their A+ game every night. But some guys never get below B+ But most guys are anywhere between an A and a D.
We'll miss TJ not just because of his talent, but also because of his mental toughness that probably was rubbing off on the other guys.
They sure looked tough last night. Hope it continues. But I kinda anticipate we're going to throw up a couple games like FAU tonight.

And he missed the tournament the 4 years before that. He's made 8 NCAA tournaments in over 20 years as a head coach. He's also in his 70s. Moving on from him before it gets worse would be the smart move.
Coach Haase is trying to get himself a memorable win before he’s fired. Noice!
