Winthrop has Oregon playing a style that the Ducks DO NOT WANT TO PLAY.

 

I'm thinkin' upset here.

Oregon really got exposed on friday by Miami. Slow them down and Oregon gets lost. Edit: as soon as I said that, Oregon kicked into high gear.

 

Looks like my comment about today's games not going to be able to match up in awesomeness to yesterday's might have been wrong as most of these games are doing quite well.

Florida holds Purdue off and saves the national bracket for another round. UNLV taking Wisco out today would be huge for me especially if Oregon keeps Winthrop at bay.

See you later Badgers. The Rebels still be running.

Butler and UNLV moving on, god I love it. My step brother owns me 50 bucks.

Oregon really ran away with that one, and Virginia Tech is getting visibly frustrated as Southern Illinois repeatedly knocks them over. It looks like UNC will be the only ACC rep in the Sweet 16.

That doesn't surprise me. There was no one in the ACC that really distinguished themselves as an excellent team besides Carolina.

With Winthrop gone this will be the first time since 1995 that no double digit seed advanced to the Sweet 16. That year no one below a 6 seed advanced past the first weekend.

Good. I know we're supposed to love "cinderella, but I think in the long run the tourney is better off with the high seeds advancing further.

I was just wondering but how exactly is UNLV a Cinderella? Aren't they kind of a well known program for that?

 

The ACC and Big 10 performances aren't shocking. Let's face it, regardless of the RPI anyone with a brain knew the ACC was very down this year. I've noted that you can always tell the ACC is down when you have VT and UVA vying for the league title. I was shocked that the announcers said UVA had a better shot at OSU in the next round....I mean HUH? Do they not recall Tennessee coming within an eyelash of beating OSU in Columbus?

 

The one team I feel truly foolish for not having in my Sweet 16 is SIU. Since they are a real grinding, low scoring team I thought they were a prime upset pick (being that someone can always upset a team like that 52-50). I think they can give Kansas a real hard time in the next round, since they WILL knock the shit out of the Jayhawks physically.

Kentucky isn't laying down for the Jayhawks, though they probably need to kick into gear here or they're gonna get left behind.

You don't have to be a complete unknown to be a Cinderella. Villanova, NC State and LSU have all been Cinderellas.
