this is why uk doesn't scare me. they've been efficient offensively despite not being great from 3pt land but are the 2nd worst defensive team in KenPom's Top 20 (70th in defense).

with that said, indiana/uk is basically a coin flip. nearly identical teams.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

EJ's crew looking for double-digit seeds as potential Cinderellas. Iona was pretty much it. Chuck picks "#17 seed" Wichita State

This is the part where most of the analysts pick Mich State to win it all.

Chuck has three #1s and Michigan State, with MSU winning. Nobody thinks Villanova makes the Elite 8

Dayton getting a much better draw than St Joe's is a head scratcher

St Joe's game will probably start 10:15 ish Friday night

Nova is 12:40 and Temple is 30 minutes after that

Lundquist is calling the Brooklyn games

Opening lines out


Nova -16
Temple +6.5
St Joe's +2


Temple is very tempting, Iowa has been crappy since Penn St beat them

At least the Arizona game is on late out here. Committee is penalizing Arizona for their weak OCC and they're going to have a tough first round game.

I totally agree with Coach Cal on the under-seeding, some of these are a joke.

Espn promoting gt as a snub. Their metrics loved them.
