First glance my F4 has Marquette and UConn. Jesus.  

Marquette is a popular F4 pick.  

None of the commentators says shit about Texas but half pick them to be in the F4.

Multiple talking heads predicting we make the Final Four and . . . lose to Kansas.

Did anyone pay attention the last week or so?

I was insinuating they are a 6 seed.

You poor bastard. I understood what you meant. 

[Not a cat 5659]

I'm thinking of driving down to Des Moines from Minneapolis.  For those that have been to the first weekend, is it easy to get single game tickets from scalpers or would you recommend buying the entire ticket package online?

Shaka is set up well for an elite 8 run - of course 

So he’ll probably lose in the first round 

[LTtxfan 49233]

So looking at the 2nd Rd, does Texas have the toughest draw out of all of the #2 seeds?

Disagree. If you don’t want Purdue, you really haven’t been following college basketball. They are not nearly as good as their seed will be and their record indicates. Alabama is way more dangerous. 

Okay

Uh, Kansas just got a 1-seed thanks largely to their wins in the top conference.

How about we win our first game before worrying about a second? ACU anybody?

Because our discourse here directly impacts the team's preparations for Colgate, right?

Well if Rodney loses to Colgate or aggy you guys won’t have to worry about him getting the job

[MrX 734]

The East region is brutal. 

[Blotto 23538]

Fuck it, I like our draw. Getting the opportunity to no lube aggy out of the tourny makes me like our draw even more. 

[Rickylovesweed 14423]

Penn State does everything well that you need to do to beat aggy other than rebounding. 

1) They can shoot from 3. aggy plays pressure defense which leads to open 3s. 

2) aggys offense is predicated on getting to the free throw line. Penn State doesn't foul. 

3) aggys defense is predicated on forcing turnovers. Penn State doesn't turn the ball over much because they play a bunch of guards. 

If Penn State can just neutralize the offensive boards where aggy has the big advantage they are set up to win this game. 

[Underdog 28709]

Henry Steele ref from Bilas! 

[Revolution512 1487]

If Texas continues to defend, I’m not worried about anyone.

[shadow_operative 15932]

we got a great draw, ku got the worst draw ive seed for a one seed in years. welp, sucks to suck! lol. shouldn't have let us whoop you yesterday. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

[JGrayDBU 339]

is it just me or is Bilas the only one who can offer an opinion on unknown teams off the cuff?  Is he the only one who has kept up with college basketball?  

 

 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Take a step back - Texas has a great chance to advance and a very nice overall draw. Especially if Sasser is sitting for awhile.

[Sgt Hulk 13776]

Already bought my tickets to the final four

He's drawing $2MM / year with a sole focus and responsibility to know CBB. He should and better know a lot. 

He's certainly not shy to make you aware of that during his color work.

A 1-in-4 chance, at least.

[TexArcher 37915]

The fact that aggy's complaints are completely legit makes the whole thing even more delicious.

No one cares about y'all even when you're actually pretty good at something.  Now go sit down.

One thing I know for a fact and that’s no one knows fucking dick when it comes to predicting a bracket. Lmao. All these “Penn st won’t be aggy”. Yea no 10 seed ever upsets a 7! Anyone can lose with the parity in college basketball.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Interesting to see that Desmond again has an A&M team reaching the FF. 

Not surprising I guess.

Oh, I think that game is pretty close to a 50/50.  I just looked at the stats, and Penn St shoots 39% from 3......

This. This is the first time in a good while I actually like our draw.

Mighty Furman getting all of 5 against UVA. Latter might not score 35 so probably a good play.

I mean, sure, they put all three Texas contenders into one bracket, because you're too stupid to know that Baylor and TCU are better than aggy...

It's a great draw.

[Gut Wagon 8081]

As long as we keep playing mainly with three guards at once and can keep our bigs out of early foul trouble, I'll take my chances against anybody. Of course, neither of those is a given.
