Great game. It's great to see Nova rebound and play a entirely different game after the first half.

Scottie Reynolds made a lot of mistakes, but I give him a lot credit for his defense the second half.

Prunell should get fired, he can't win in the tourney and I don't even like Clemson, they should've beaten Michigan by atleast 10 and don't because he doesn't know how to coach...Wish I would've kept my Michigan pick too haha, that and Butler/LSU (which I also changed yesterday.....) and I'd be perfect.

Hail to the Victors! It is definitely fun to be watching the Maize and Blue play in the NCAA tourney again! Maybe they can pull off a shocker Saturday

Some good games today, with zaga coming back im 100% so far. I expect that to change though, as I have some upset picks coming up soon.

The Nova game went pretty much as I expected. Couple the fact that we suck at defending the three with American coming out totally jacked up and I was quite sure they would get out to a hot start. I didn't think AU would be up 14 in the second half, and I thought Nova would hit more from the outside, but close enough. Nova will have their hands full with both VCU and UCLA, but after picking up the first win, I feel pretty good about the second round.
Illinois actually scored over 40 points for a change. Good for them! How did they get a 5 seed again?
Duke is going to struggle against Texas. Dexter Pittman is an absolute matchup nightmare for them, and he's playing great ball of late (17 and 11 tonight).
And did anyone see Blake Griffin get cheapshotted for the 100th time this year? I like the guy, but I've never seen a player take as many cheap shots as he does. He can't be as squeaky clean as he seems. No one that clean and classy will get hit the way he does.

VCU couldn't pull it out...Doesn't hurt when the refs won't call a foul though...Maynor was amazing in the last 5 minutes to bring them back but couldn't make the last shot.

And my boys just lost in the first "upset" of the tourney.

 

[ffgameman]

I go to WKU.

They almost lost that game....too many turnovers and too many missed free throws for the entire game.

Weren't they up like 20?

UCLA pulls out the squeaker!

West Virginia killed me.

 

[KandKCards]

West Virginia killed me.

Me too. Nice of DaSean Butler to go 0-6 after he dropped 43 against Villanova while making almost every shot he took.

Wow, Wake Forest is getting killed right now...

If Wake Forest loses, my bracket is in the garbage.

You do not know what you are talking about. Purnell should not be fired. Clemson ahs been to the tourny twice with him and lost twice. He took us to the ACC Championship game last year. Clemson is still building. He took a program in shambles and made them a competitor in the ACC. The team is getting better every year and he landed Clemson's first McDonald's All American in 18 years. For whatever recruiting rankings are worth, the guys playing have been all 3 stars, not like UNC who has like 8 McDonald All Americans on their roster snd seem to get one or two every year.

Also, OP can only do so much. He is not the one who went 2/20 from 3 in the first 35 minutes of play.

Considering how good his teams have been compared to the teams they've lost to I'd say so...If he does it again next year bye bye.
