@FarmerJayhawk UT donors just got done ponying up about $350 million for a new basketball arena. They’re aware basketball exists and the new arena is the main reason why Shaka’s seat should be hotter than it was last year.
-
As a Chicagoan, I am at least glad they’re losing to a Chicago team. Got to love Loyola which was horribly under seeded. I could say Illinois deserved to play an easier 8 seed, but they played like crap and choked this away. Go sister Jean! And of course, Rock Chalk monday night!
-
Illinois is - - -DONE - - ya hear me - - DONE/COOKED/FINISHED mercy - -did they say BIG What ?

It’s smokin
-
And Sister Jean & the Ramblers upset the Illini. Lord have mercy !
(Equal time for the Baptists…Baylor up next. And Oral Roberts later.)
-
Any top level team needing a coach, looking at you Indiana should be burning up Porter Moser’s inbox right now.
-
Now I’m just saying not making Big out of it BUT Illinois if Okie State can take car of business today - -this at least improves Okie States chances of going deeper
-
That day I met Porter Moser two years ago and told him I still had college eligibility. I could’ve been out there today.
-
@jayballer67 Don’t know who to root for in that one. Oregon State named their court after longtime coach Ralph Miller, who was from Chanute and played for Phog Allen himself.
-
@wissox looked pretty athletic carrying that flag yesterday!
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m aware. ‘Twas a joke my dude
-
Anybody got Wisconsin?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It was a blast. I picked the Badgers in one of my brackets to beat Baylor but I really don’t think it’s happening.
-
FLOP WARNING FLOP WARNING FLOP WARNING
-
So down goes Illinois and that popping sound you heard is my bracket getting thoroughly busted.
-
Baylor is falling their way to victory right now. Flopping all over the court.
-
Another BIG team getting whipped Baylor taking Wisconsin to the shed - hoping it continues helps show who the real toughest league is, Baylor quick today for sure

The right side of my bracket just kicked my butt PERIOD - total diaster

Not like Ohio State didn’t already do me in with their loss but this one hurt B1G time. My brackets are toast.
What gets me are the people who still have a perfect bracket. How in the heck does anyone have the foresight to pick Oral Roberts? I’ve never figured it out.

Nobody has a perfect bracket left after Ohio won last night.
-
Glad I haven’t done brackets for a while. It’s stressful enough rooting for KU.
-
Illinois bye-bye. Another Big10 1 seed Michigan will soon be the same. Kansas will beat USC. I’m hoping for the Zags to stumble, opening up our bracket. People you can all say that I’m on hallucinogenics, but with all of the upsets and a couple more breaks it is not out of the realm of possibility that Kansas can win the National Championship.
-
Well looks like West Virginia is Done - -thought they would do better this year
-
Huggy bear is not a good tourney coach. Consistent at losing early
-
Another double-digit seed wins. Syracuse over WVU.
Oral Roberts - Florida next.
By the way, the last time ORU made it into the NCAA second round was 1974, when there were only 25 teams in the tournament field.
Ah, I remember it well…KU managed to outlast them in OT in front of a pro-ORU crowd in Tulsa to win the Midwest Regional and go to the national semifinals (before they called it the Final Four). The Eagles’ coach, Ken Trickey, had already announced that he was resigning. The night before the game, he got arrested on a suspected DUI (but was actually given a “reckless driving” charge).
As for the Jayhawks, they lost to Marquette in the semis and to Bill Walton & UCLA in the now-defunct third-place game. NC State won the title that year, led by David Thompson.
-
Syracuse was pretty fortunate to win that game. West Virginia played about as badly as they could, shot 15% worse from the field, and still almost won at the end.
-
Texas tech getting screwed by the refs
-
Wow these refs cannot get anything right
-
Pat Adams is a SEC referee who once ejected a commentator. Not surprised Tech is getting screwed.
-
Mcflung with a missed 1 and 1
-
Missed 1 and 1 and missed lay-up. Tech choked
-
Wild ending and tech goes down on missed plays
-
Tech just flat ass plain and simple BLEW that game. - - Down 1 , your best free throw shooter misses free point - – you miss 2 dead layups in the final Seconds - you deserve to lose - Holy Bat Shit Robin
-
Missed 1 and 1 and missed lay-ups. Game was there for TTU to steal, and they didn’t execute in the last minute…
-

pitiful
-
Tech has no one to blame but themselves
-
Thanks Texas, WVU and Texas Tech. I’m looking forward to the end of the tournament when I can go back to NOT rooting for other Big12 teams.
I expect Okie Light will disappoint me later tonight.
-
Fighting Q Grimes’s on the ropes
-
My bracket was 97% before today and now it’s in the trash can.

your best ft shooter and chokes
-
Wow Rutgers choked … they had Grimes and Houston … had em
-
Both Arkansas and Houston demonstrating how to not lose. Neither actually won. Their opponents just couldn’t execute basic plays.
-
Yep, Rutgers blew it.
-
Update: down 30 percentile points on ESPN over the last two hours. NOT GREAT BOB
-
GO FIGHTING BILLY EUGENES
-
Based on every other game today, I’m pretty sure I know what’s going to happen in this ORU UF game.
-
To be specific, one of the two teams will have a shot to win and blow it
-
EXPECT A(NOTHER) MIRACLE
Absolutely nutso tournament
-
Nice try, Florida.
