Illinois State  177 - Greenville 108.  Defense much?

What a scary situation and wonder if COVID related because have read that he did have it at one point. 

 

Combined with other losses in the opening round, only 0.3 percent of brackets remain perfect at the end of Day 1.

Like everything else this seems like a half lost year.

So far, no upsets today.

And just like an upset and more coming.

Maryland's win knocked out the few remaining perfect brackets that were left.

Illinois can claim champs of round of 64, loser school trying to claim Big Ten Champs. 

The ACC’s really sucked the big one in this tournament.

Was a down year. Duke and even Virginia wasn’t as good as they have been. And Carolina was young. Florida state has a good chance to make a run. Michigan not having livers is gonna catch up to them

Buddy Boeheim has been blazing hot.  Don’t know if he can keep that up but if he can they’re going to be a tough out.

Interesting take I heard on the radio this morning is the teams doing well seem to be those with older rosters with more juniors and seniors, whereas a lot of the teams with freshman stars are struggling. Makes sense that the more experienced guys would handle the whole oddball Covid season better. 

Oregon beating Iowa was an easy prediction. Oregon is very athletic and Altman is a really good coach. Iowa has Garza and they really can’t matchup with Oregon’s athleticism. Plus Iowa is overrated 

 

Loyola first possession shot clock violation 

Go Beavers!  

PAC 12 gonna have at least 2 teams in the elite 8 and possibly a third of UCLA can pull off the upset of bama

Doubt Nova can win but ya never know

Wright ambushed them but an entire half to go.

Feels like Baylor is just going to the basket right now and trying to win it in the paint. 

Nova has Gillespie they might have won that game. The turnovers and ball handling has killed them in this half.
