If Uconn goes into Pitt on Senior Day and wins, I'll be semi-shocked.

I think the Pitt Uconn game will be a lot closer.
Pitt dominated the first time but I don't see that happening again ..

I really enjoy championship week - you get games on pretty much all day and all night from today until next Sunday, from teams in every conference..everybody's last chance to try to dance.
It's a close call - i guess i contradict myself a bit since i always take off work the thurs/fri of the opening round of NCAA's, but I probably havemore overall enjoyment out of championship week in some ways.

It kills me when they debate should there be more teams in the tournament..
How many bubble teams are struggling to win games down the stretch?
Win and your win, it's simple.
64 is a perfect number as of now IMO.

Couldn't agree more - there's no need to include more than 34 at large teams - the fact that the last 4-10 teams that get in most yearsare beyond mediocre should tell you all you need to know. If you can't prove over the course of an entire season that you have a right to be in thetournament, and make it a clear case, there's no gripe you can really claim.
Guys like Bilas act like playing in the tournament is your chance to prove you belong there - but the season itself is your proving ground, that's what idon't get how he can ignore.

I agree 64 is perfect. I say get rid of the play-in game as well.
BTW, GO PITT!!!

Only reason I don't mind that they did added the play-in is because a conference was created out of thin air and given a bid... there will be another newconference next year - i'm not sure yet how they're handling that in terms of bids, but i think it's important not to just cut down at-large bidseverytime a new conference is made, or teams will just keep dividing into new conferences to ensure bids.

Ryan, gotta love that ringing endorsement from Coach Knight (basically swatted aside the choice between Michigan, Arizona and Providence and chose Penn Stateinstead, haha)!

i know, i couldn't believe he came out of left field with that one.
Unfortunately, we're in a no-win situation today @Iowa... game the experts will expect us to win, but we're on short turn-around, in a let-downsituation, with one of our best players hurt... vegas has us as 3 point underdogs, but somehow i doubt we'll get any credit if we lose today - which wevery likely will. Squarely on the bubble again we would be.
And the worst part is - if we lose, our first round matchup in the BTT does us no good either as it will likely be a team that can only hurt us again. Whereasa win no only gets us in for sure, but would provide another good opponent to boost our resume in the BTT.
ugh... so stressful, i did not sleep well last night.

Just like the first game, I think it's so close to call (between Pitt-Conn).
But so far, it's looking to be a good one.
ThaBeast doing his thing.

Jeff Adrien is trash. His double double numbers are incredibly misleading.

Game is intense! I love it.
Feels like a tourney game.
Conn missing too many bunnies right now though.
