Conference tournament champions that are out after one game:

ACC - Georgia Tech

Big East - UConn

Big 12 - Texas

Are there others?

Big East was Georgetown, but still out.

[Braff Zacklin 13675]

They need to hurry up and play more games so they can wipe the ACU-Texas upset story off the ESPN.com front page. That one hyped-up dork who never even saw the floor has been doing the 'Horns down for 13 hours. LoL

[J.R. Juniors Junior Jr. 1108]

Kind of a weird schedule today:  a CBS triple header with none of the other games starting until an hour into the third CBS game.

Sister Jean has some serious juju working.

Been that way forever. Never understood it.

It's so that CBS can drop its long standing promo  " 60 Minutes will be seen in its entirety following the game, except on the west coast."

Back in the '90s, before they went to multiple networks, CBS would cram all 8 Sunday second round games into a 12-7 eastern time window.  CBS also liked to give Duke's second round game an exclusive window as the first game on Saturday, like clockwork.

End of Days. Also, God letting us know he’s a basketball fan and betting on brackets is bad.

Illinois has been by far the most overrated team all season. I wouldn't be that surprised if they lose their first tourney game.

I have no idea. NET seems poorly conceived and I made a similar point earlier in the season. Illinois other three losses (now) are to tOSU and Mizzou who are both good not great (maybe Tech level) and by 13 to Baylor. Their best win is by 27 against Minnesota and Duke on the "road" I guess? They seem like a perfectly mediocre tournament team.

And yet I took them to the final in my bracket and even put them in a parlay today. I knew it in January and didn't trust it.

Krutwig is awesome.

Guess Underwood can be marked off the wish list.

Big 10 was hot garbage this year.  This has been the year of fundamentals.  Can you make free throws in a nearly empty arena?  How about pass over a press?  Does boxing out mean anything?  Do you play as a team or does getting beat become personal because it's not all the HC?  Does the HC make matchup adjustments--there's not that many plays in basketball for both defense and offense.

Fixed for our local collegiate squad. Same principles and same faults.

Shaka's answer to all of these: no.

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

Baylor doesn’t want to be here either. 

[Dr. Teeth 5868]

Wisky’s second team came and lacked energy and were really bad. Baylor got energy from it. 

[Vic Mackey 47849]

Big 10 is being exposed big time. I kept hearing how solid they were and how much they would do damage this tournament. 

[Radical Larry 28815]

[Brothahorn 10096]

Baylor looking like UNLV out there.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Did he say Baylor had only 1 turnover...?

[Underdog 29104]

While I was happy that Wisc beat UNC, I'd imagine a Baylor/UNC would've been fun to watch. 

[Braff Zacklin 13675]

I actually think Wisconsin is playing well ... and they're down 13 at the half.

[Blotto 23975]

With Texas out, I just want to see Baylor and the Zags get it on in the finals at full strength (no covid bs).  Easily the two best teams in the country this season.

Fuck Baylor. Don’t care.  Want them to lose every game. 

[Brothahorn 10096]

One thing that irritates me about the tourney is how they schedule/space games on Sunday in the 2nd round. There's only one game right now and then starting at 4, they are pushing out 6 games. So the last game is starting at 8:40p on Sunday. It's not 1950 anymore, even the good Christians don't go to church every Sunday. Plus we have this invention called the DVR. There will be more viewers inconvenienced by a late game on Sunday night than if you had a couple of early games during church.

[BluTechsan 393]

I feel you want to see bad officiating it's happening right now in the Baylor game - it's street ball - zebras are letting everything go - until they don't and then it's a meaningless touch foul.

It has to do with TV deals. CBS has a commitment to airing the news on Sunday nights, so they get their game allotments early without competition so they don’t lose viewership by not having the “prime time” games. 
 

Things revert back to normal tomorrow.

Nice lay in after splitting the two defenders for the And One.

Even if you wanted to avoid church you could go 1,2,3,2.

Baylor clone Adam Morrison with this #24? 

[Brian Fantana 6856]

Whatever Wisky is doing that would be loosely described as offense is not working, even though they are getting their fair share of stops
