Happy birthday and Good luck to the kid. And good luck to Iowa. Never a bad thing to have as many of your conferences teams in the tourney.

No lead changes in the first 37 minutes of the Iowa/Tennessee game then four in the next 40 seconds.

That was a very Iowa performance. And all the Hawkeye fans were calling for the Sweet Sixteen in the preseason...

I got 2 out of 4 and was a disastrous overtime and a close contest away from the clean sweep

Texas Southern's defense was atrocious the other night. They're probably lucky they didn't win because they would've been blasted the Shockers

Dayton up 3 on Ohio St

Aaron Craft playing like dogshit.

Which I am okay with unless it's going to cost me a billion dollars.

 

[StPaulHusker]

Dayton and American making a game of it so far.

Cash Rules? Breaking Down The Budget Mismatches In The NCAA Tournament

Breaks down each matchup based on basketball budgets. Nebraska is one of the only lower seeds that has a higher budget than their higher-seeded opponent.

I have OSU in my Sweet 16, but it wouldn't bother me to see them get knocked out right away. Karma is a b!^@h.

How does Duke get that money?

Their football program isn't anywhere close to turning a profit, and with as popular as their basketball program is, Cameron Indoor's capacity is less than 10,000, and they give almost 2,000 of those to students.

Lots and lots of donations from former players playing in the NBA

CBS announcer says "Aaron Craft thought the ref was his teammate." I wonder where he got that notion after the past four years.
