I feel like ESPN is really trying to make Jay Bilas a thing

he is orders of magnitude better than dan dakich or dickie v

10 years since gus johnson ;_;

xpost - i don't dislike him, they just seem like they are trying to make him a stephen a smith type thing

tell me who to watch in this tourney please. havent paid attention at all this year.

it is a voyage of discovery

bilas is actually very funny and laid-back in person, which is not at all the vibe i've gotten from him on tv

go gauchos! (tomorrow)

krzyzewski coaching tree is looking pretty crappy right now

wojo out at marquette, collins has to be about done at northwestern, capel/brey/hurley/dawkins/k himself all missed the tourney

quin snyder's doing pretty well tho #GoJazzGo

#FireCoachK

have him find out when that student paper journalist asks him to comment on his reported firing in a press conference

Buckeyes about to get bounced

wau

Happy to see OSU get bounced. Michigan State, too. Now Michigan must fall asap.

appreciate the big 10 hate

except tonight i have to root for wisconsin i guess

cade cunningham is forcing things, not demonstrating that feel that scouts rave about

roy williams' first first-round loss

I'm kinda curious to figure out who is actually any good. Did not seem like the big conferences played as much this year.

Arkansas is going to be a tough out, they might shoot cold but their defense is pretty nasty. If they are hitting threes, pretty tough to beat.

Wisconsin looked really good, just a very efficient club. They played well against NC.

OSU probably a bit of a look down gas after that B10 final. That was a heck of a game and they fought hard twice to get back in the game at the end.

oral roberts legit looked good

the abmas dude is a bucket getter wouldn’t be surprised if they make it past Florida

So close gauchos

how bout those bobcats

xp bodacious cowboys will never be welcome in the second round

but my alligator shoes

PAC-12 got almost no respect this season from national media, but Oregon State, UCLA, USC, and Colorado all easily advanced to the round of 32. U of Oregon advanced through forfeiture, but they were the regular season PAC-12 champions.

Big-10 teams were adulated by the media and have shown poorly so far.

i don't understand what this means. definitely some cancellations but for the most part most of the big conferences got through the vast majority of their seasons.

there is plenty of data available to know who is "actually any good"

That Abilene Christian team is ridiculous

they have that stank of a team that magically causes 25% FG percentage for 3 rounds

I really think UCLA will destroy them next game, but their anti-basketball is entertaining in a sick kind of way

their offense was painful to watch, and their D was *intense* ... I can't believe they won that game. if i was a Texas fan i'd be sick.

Welp.

we love an upset dont we folks

Ohio State, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan State are gone. Still have to knock out Iowa, Michigan, Rutgers and Wisconsin.

aimless talkin a lot of crap for a guy whose team got a covid bye

unless you’re a beavers fan in which case, kudos

all this dumb small sample size theater about “the big ten couldn’t have been good se they keep losing early” is annoying enough to take away from the joy i should feel from ohio state and illinois getting booted

*since they

Baylor Bears are tremendous fun to watch. It's going to be hard not to root for them unless a cinderella team meets them in the final four.

talkin a lot of crap for a guy whose team got a covid bye

(shrugs) A covid bye in the first round is a totally neutral happenstance that reflects nothing on the team that gets it, either good or bad. They'll either survive to advance or not, based on their game play. Now, if the Ducks got a second bye, things would be getting totally out of hand.

I can't believe they won that game

Abilene went 20 for 67 from the field, Texas went 18 for 40. Attempting 27 more shots than the other team doesn't happen a lot in basketball, it's nuts

yes an average shooting performance with that kind of disparity would usually result in a 30 point win

thoughts from today:

Baylor finally looked like Baylor again. every team could use a Mark Vital.

story of the tournament so far: Kevin Obanor (and Max Abmas)

if Loyola plays like they played against Illinois, they can beat everyone but Gonzaga (and maybe Baylor). that was an incredible performance, and Cameron Krutwig is an absolute treat to watch.

Cade is obviously a *very* poised and skilled basketball player, but as a consensus #1 pick, i'm decidedly underwhelmed.

excited for what feels like (but isn't really) bonus hoops on Monday! upset watch: Ohio over Creighton and ... maaaaybe LSU over Michigan?

Cade feels like a guaranteed NBA starter but not at all a surefire allstar
