NIL is probably going to lead to chalkier tournaments.

probably right. upsets were what made the tournament so exciting and engaging. If all the heavy hitters win, interest will go away.

Arkansas is apparently going to have Adou Thiero back for St John’s. That’s huge news. He was their leading scorer when he went down in February.

Maybe it was the UK/Cal combo but I don't find myself being as annoyed by Cal at Arkansas. Just the opposite when he was at UK.

he’s still annoying. It’s just better now because the team he has isn’t overwhelmingly better than yours from a talent standpoint.

You have to give it to him though. Getting this Arky team to the tournament with all the injuries and all that they’ve dealt with means he still can coach.

Vandy has the lead over St Mary's at the half

Memphis goes down to Colorado State.....

More WCC Fool’s Gold? Had me fooled.

Feeling pretty good about my Ole Miss pick.

Wow!
St Mary’s looks totally discombobulated! Thought they were better than this.

Zags looked real good. St. Mary’s has been almost as good as Gonzaga the last few years in the West coast conference but when you play such a slow down type style you have little to no wiggle room. It the same thing for Virginia except the one year they were so talented with Hunter, Jerome, and Guy. They have their fair share of early exits besides that.

St Mary’s has tied it up. They look good right now.

Have St. Mary’s in my bracket but I’d be happy with Vandy upset.

Got Bama beating them in round 2 so that’s good.

 

[AUDub]

Hope Ole Miss beats UNC by 30.

 

[AUDub]

Down goes Vandy.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

St. Mary's is next for us. Vandy blows it

 

[AUDub]

Bama v. St Mary’s will come down to pace. Whoever dictates will win.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Don’t look now, UNC only down 6.

Ole Miss wetting the bed; led by 22. Now 6.
