Luckily, since I might have the worst bracket ever, I only have Kentucky into next round and losing to Texas tech. South Carolina really screwed me.

In three brackets. But the big money one I had Duquesne and Oregon. I'm pleased.

Of course I have Texas tech going a long ways. I'm F'd no matter what. I blame Izzo.

If NC State holds on, all three #6 seeds will have lost today. That bodes well for Pitino's New Mexico team tomorrow.

Samford making a game of it, down just 7 now.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Brutal foul call in that situation

 

[disco]

Samford got screwed on that call. That was a clean block.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Nice gift to Kansas.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Kansas getting a Kansas call on a clean block by Samford. Damn shame that wasn’t called properly.

 

[stocker08]

Yuck. Good going refs. Wipe away a fantastic play and give a huge gift to Kansas.

 

[howeda7]

Samford got hosed at the end. Clean block.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Not only does Kansas not shoot free throws there if it’s not called a foul, but they also would have had a 5 on 4 advantage the other way.

Ref got sucked in to seeing the shooter hitting the floor hard.

4 B1G games tomorrow, rooting for all expect Wisco can stay home. Wisco only 5.5 point favorites, NWester 3.5 point underdogs, Purdue should win easily and Nebraska is 1.5 point favorites.

Also New Mexico looking like 2.5 point favorites as the 11th seed

 

[Gophs24]

what a brutal call! you just cant get that wrong in that situation.

but man samford plays some fun basketball to watch. in your face all game. and they played 10 guys for than 7 minutes and 9 guys more than 13 minutes! cant imagine we see that from any other team the rest of the tourney

But what about your NIT bracket?

New Mexico is the 11 seed most people were picking, so naturally they'll be the only one to lose.

Of course

I saw Cooper hit a half courter and the end of the half in a losing effort last night. Didn’t watch it live so no idea how the rest went for him.

For those interested Treyton Thompson plays today at 1:45 on cbs. Averaging 4.5 pts and 4 rebounds on 16.4 minutes a game this season.

But what about your NIT bracket?

Gophs are right in line to win it all.

NW might get run off the floor if FAU can relax and stop turning the ball over

Brutal game. Can't make a shot. Biffing layups.

Saw a couple like that last night. Maybe they get a little nervous on the big stage.

Definitely. They have having trouble with what should be routine plays. And so many turnovers. Some due to good defense....but many unforced errors as well.

It's the curse of Iowa football.

I hope you bet the under

 

[GopherOhana]

huh. UNM favored by 1.5 over Clemson. If UNM wins all 4 11 seeds would advance

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Totally forgot about Greenlee playing for FAU.

solid player

not aging well

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

not aging well

Mine rarely do

 

[howeda7]

Chris Collins is about to be 3-0 in first round games. Impressive.

 

[howeda7]

Perhaps FAU is distracted by the coach's Ann Arbor itinerary.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Well don't I feel like an ass now for posting this.
