Not too many good mid majors this year, so less intrigue.

You basically have mediocre teams from the various power conferences going at each other.

As usual, I'm curious to see how our mediocre teams (Butler, Providence) match up.

I thought Seton Hall got hosed. I think they'll beat Gonzaga though.

Rumor has it @jonvi might tune in too.

I'm certainly biased... but USC/Providence should be a real tough matchup... two teams with high ceilings, but who knows what team will show up on a given night. Should be a tough pick for all y'all's brackets with no dog in the fight.

Cuse spanks the flyers......The question is how bad the Orange take MI State to task. @H2S is gonna hurt bowing out so early.

Answering the OP....to be clear...any game involving Syracuse is the game of the day....


It's a privilege to see the Cuse in this tournament!

I went with Texas-UNI, but Vandy-Wichita was close.

I have UNI upsetting Texas. UNI is 11-1 in their last 12 games and they did beat UNC earlier this season when UNC was #1. I wouldn't want Iowa to face them right now.

It's clearly Arizona-Wichita. #17 vs. #12 in KenPom in the Round of 64? That shouldn't be happening.

No idea how Wichita St is so high in that. They had one win over tourney team. Yea they played some solid teams OOC but only beat Utah.
