Purdon't is terrible. One and done.

Anyone else see them dropping to a 4 seed?

 

[swg]

4 seed is generous at this point. What they did during the season has no bearing on how they are playing now.

Reminiscent of UC and Kenyon Martin.

Final Four Fever begins today. It's pretty much my favorite time of year aside from the football bowls.

Anyone besides me sick of hearing from espn about the prez's picks and other political crap? Talk about sports!

 

[swg]

Nova losing to 15 seed Robert Morris 19-12. Cmon RMU!

 

[swg]

OK...here's why they were losing early..Fisher and Reynolds didn't start.

@ESPN_CollHoops Teaching moment over for #2 Villanova. Reynolds and Fisher in the game, but #15 Robert Morris leading 28-22 at the half.

 

[swg]

Old Dominion beats ND. Great game by the former. I think Harangody only scored the last meaningless two points at the buzzer.

Nova stil in a close one.

Gtown gettin smacked.

Big East gettin embarrassed with some of this crap.

Gtown gettin smacked.

Big East gettin embarrassed with some of this crap.

Very embarrassing day for the Big East. Is it possible that the conference was over hyped? I believe it is. Like how North Carolina stayed in the top 25 after losing about 8 games because of the "hype" Carolina has from all the previous years. I truly think the Big East wasn't as strong as people thought this year.

 

[swg]

The conference is genuinely good, but just because another team is ranked lower..doesn't mean much. There are few slouches in this tourny. Also, the 4 number ones are head and shoulders better than the rest of the field. There's them, and varying degrees of everyone else.

 

[swg]

With five min gone....15th seed Morgan St. beating West Virginia 10-0.

WV up by 11 or so at half.

 

[swg]

Temple losing to 12 seed Cornell by 8 w/ about 4 min to go in 1st half.

 

[swg]

St. Mary's into the sweet 16 w/ a win over Nova. I don't care if they are BE or not, I love it when Cinderellas when.

Sweet.
