wvu80 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The late night games are interesting. Oregon looked bad and had to come from behind to beat URI. Cincy over UCLA by 3 at the half. #2 Duke in real trouble with 5 minutes left down 57-66 to #7 South Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only have one game left. +++ Eighteen brackets still not busted out of 18 million. The lowest remaining seed is #11 Ex-Zavier. The Big 12 has three teams in the Sweet 16, #1Kansas, #3 Baylor, #4 WVU. Impressive but predictable. PAC 12 has three, #2 Arizona, #3 Oregon, #3 UCLA. All expected to be in the top 16. The Big 10 has three teams in the Sweet 16, #4Purdue, #8 Wisconsin and #9 Michigan. Not expected, and with Wisconsin taking out #1 Villanova and Michigan taking out #2 Louisville, very impressive! SEC with three teams, #2 Kentucky, #4 Florida and #7 South Carolina, the latter beating #2 Duke. I can't believe 18 people picked South Carolina to beat Duke. Who are these crazy people? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than 18 people picked South Carolina over Duke, but their brackets were busted elsewhere. In the early part of their first game, it looked like South Carolina was going down to Marquette.

Ceptorman Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Some nice upsets, especially Duke. Love to see a new team win it all, tired of the same 5 teams win it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Not wanting to be a Kansas U homer but living just 30 miles from campus I certainly follow them closely. Not sure people are noticing but KU has scored 190 points in the first two games. When these guys get on a roll they put points up in bunches. But I have also seen the opposite throughout the year when you wonder how they are ranked in the top five and play like a thirty seed. If and with KU it is a big if they continue like this they will be very hard to overlook to the Final Four. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Who would have predicted the SEC would have 3 teams in the Sweet 16? Only those 18 left with perfect brackets I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Baylor is Big 12 along with West Virginia I've watched them all year long. At one point Baylor was undefeated when everyone else had a loss so by default they were voted national #1. Baylor lost the very next game to WVU by 21 points. I always thought they were like Gonzaga, good win/loss record but I thought they were overrated. I thought Baylor became a good basketball team AFTER they got knocked down a wrung of two. Still, they are overrated and can be beat by any of the teams still in the sweet 16. I don't know anything about South Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark,Proud papa of a 2015 Xavier grad. I was educated in West Virginia public schools, I was taught it was pronounced Zay-vier, so you and I are simpatico. I make fun of the way the announcers pronounced Xavier's name at one of their games, half the time starting with EX and half the time using ZAY. I commented at the time you'd think the announcers would have discussed that in a pre-production meeting and gotten it right, or at the very least, pronounce it one way and one way only. No intent to demean the school, it's fine, and so is their cool name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can't wait for a UNC win. +++ For the sweet 16, who's a lock and who is a potential upset? For tonight I think Gonzaga is on upset alert vs #4 WVU and #2 Arizona should be able to take care of the #11 X-men. For Friday night I think UNC's talent should easily overcome #4 Butler and #3 Baylor can be beat by #7 South Carolina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
