    I wonder if there will be another 16 upset, none of them ever seem likely till they happen.

    Wagner gets the first shot as they play UNC.

    Morehead State giving the Illini all they can handle in the 1st half

    Well the Illini figured out they had to take Morehead State seriously and is smoking them in the 2nd half so no upset here. Oregon an 11 seed has got the upper hand on South Carolina early 2nd half, maybe an upset in the making?

    Looking at the starting lineups for CSU v Texas you can see the impact NIL and stuff has had...

    10 players , 8 of which are seniors or graduates. Longhorns have 1 Jr and 1 soph.

    Wow, down goes Kentucky. Now the South Bracket is totally screwed on my bracket!!

    Kentucky boosters have to be shaking their heads on the poor success of Calapari in the NCAA Tournament, first St. Peters and now Oakland. I smell a new coach at UK

    We lived for 40 years in Oakland county just north of Detroit. That's where the Golden Grizzlys roam.

    Great tourney so far, always fun to watch Calapari suffer with a loss to a lesser team and then to see Bruce Pearl lose to Yale...I love it!

    Aggies holding up the SEC ! They are killing Nebraska, next up is a likely rematch with the #1 seed Houston Cougars who they played close while losing back in Dec

    I picked Houston to beat A&M in that game but I'll be rooting for the Aggies.

    I think the Aggies will be a very tough out for the Cougars, they played them in non-conference and it was a close game.

    That said, the game to watch tonight is Texas v Tenn ...Rick Barnes the old Texas coach vs his top Assistant and the new Texas coach.

    I see Gonzaga put it on KU, maybe the Zags can make a run.

    Longhorns lose a tough hard fought game to Tenn. The finish was wild.

    NC State's season was on life support having to win 5 games in 5 days to win the ACC Tournament, now they are in the Sweet 16 after a terrific game with Oakland.
