Notre Dame Joe Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 GCU was a local puff piece, it would have been cool if they had the magic that went to Oral Roberts. I did not know GCU dates back to 1949. No one had really heard of them until they were a for-profit college in 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Canyon_University#History Quote Link to comment

seaofred92 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 So the matchups are set. Monday March 29: 7:15pm (2) Houston v (12) Oregon State 9:57pm (1) Baylor v (3) Arkansas Tuesday March 30: 7:15pm (1) Gonzaga v (6) USC 9:57pm (1) Michigan v (11) UCLA 5 of the 7 high major leagues are represented (ACC and Big East eliminated). PAC12 has THREE teams, although all are heavy underdogs (UCLA +7, Oregon State +8, USC +9). Baylor is a 7 point favorite against Arkansas Two of the remaining eight teams have top 5 adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency ratings (Gonzaga, Houston) Gonzaga v USC features KenPom’s #1 2 point defense v KenPom’s #1 2 point offense... ever THREE former Southwest Conference members are in the Elite 8 (Arkansas, Baylor, Houston) Arkansas has faced a double digit deficit in every single round this tournament and won each game Oregon State wasn’t even going to make the NIT a month ago and is now 1 win away from the Final Four after winning the PAC12 Tournament and their first three NCAA Tournament games. They’ve now won 6 games in a row against NCAA Tournament teams (UCLA, Oregon, Colorado, Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Loyola (Chi)) during this stretch With all the craziness this tournament has had, if chalk holds we’d be looking at 3 1 seeds and a 2 in the Final 4 Can’t wait! 1 Quote Link to comment

Notre Dame Joe Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 22 hours ago, Mavric said: I'm guessing the ACC is on top of the Worst-Ever-Performances low-archy. 4-7 in your worst year isn't that bad. 11 hours ago, Mavric said: Only once since 1997 has a school west of the Mississippi won the championship (Kansas in 2008). My knowledge of the Mississippi River head water is scant. Is Michigan really West of the Mississippi? Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Congrats to the Coogs! They were up 17 at half but Oregon State made a heck of a run and played a virtually flawless half getting the game tied at 55 with 4 minutes to go before UH ultimately put the game away. Happy for Kelvin Sampson and if they win their next game I’ll win my bracket pool Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 This is also pretty cool, Jim Nantz is calling the next game between Arkansas and Baylor but hopped over to watch UH win: Quote Link to comment
