Shoot, I was hoping for a majority-Waukee starting five at Iowa next year.

It's not rational, but watching Purdue makes me pessimistic about Harding.
Smith had a really good season, really bad game. Their bigger problem was not having shooters. Couldn’t make FDU (and others this year) pay for swarming Edey. Especially when he’s been good passing out of it.

Just random most likely, given the way 6-11’s have been going lately and increased lower seed upsets but…

ASU chose the right time to start shooting the ball really well. That’s a team full of grown ass men.

That was a great move to the rim.

It worked out but that was a horrible gamble by FAU on the 3 at the buzzer

The 6 seed who gets the shitty pleasure of playing the winner of the 11 seed play in game appears to be one of the most undesirable seeds in the tourney.

The 11 seed almost always is some high major talented, athletic and physical team that underachieved during the year but is catching fire enough at the end along with their name brand to sneak in. They seem to often destroy the 6 seed they play.

College refs at it again. Could be a great ending in the TCU game and the ref decides to call some minor body contact when the offensive player was pulling the ball back out in transition. Just how everyone wants to see the game decided.

At least the ASU players can overcome the refs for now.

Refs don't seem to call any actual fouls at the end of the game when guys are getting bodied shooting inside but are eager to call 50/50 chargeS (that should be no calls) every time. It's maddening.

A couple of massive upsets aside this tournament did not have a lot of lower seeds winning. West bracket is chalk. Also no garbage 12/13 , 11/14 or 10/15 matchups for a sweet sixteen berth for what seems like the first time in awhile.
