St. John’s struggling mightily against Arkansas! Foul trouble and playing flat.

    I believe it's about time for some sort of Upset. Geez! I've got no horse in the race so, I always root for the underdog. Chalk's been cleaning up this year!

      professor It was predicted prior to the tournament that it would go a lot more chalk than prior years. This is likely a by-product of NIL.

        professor BYU is solid, lots of screens and movement on O, tough to defend! An upset by the seed, but in reality not much of one they were seeded lower then they should have been and were relatively close to home. Wisco got screwed being sent West after 4 games in a row in the conference tournament. Surprised they weren't in Milwaukee. Gonna be a BYU fan and cheer them on....lot to like!

            Meh, I don't know about "screwed". I've seen similar scenarios in being "sent" wherever. It's the tournament and regions won't necessarily be evenly distributed across the country. Can only play what's on your schedule.

            Because of my Pitt connection, I'm more familiar with the ACC. But now, I'm hoping for BYU. In particular, their "big guy" looks like he might have the tools to defend Duke's Cooper Flagg? I hope they get the shot at Duke.

                  professor Long way to go before the Duke-BYU match-up could develop. I think it might be an interesting game, but I have watched Flagg a lot and I don't think anybody on the BYU team is a good match-up. Anything could happen, and BYU did beat Kansas by 37 points earlier this year, but imsusledt BYU, if it gets that far, would be over matched by Duke.

                  Time will tell. Most of the time, match-ups that people think about end up not happening.

                  By the way, BYU is going to be joined next season by the top freshman in the country, AJ Dybantsa (next year's Cooper Flagg), so they will probably continue to be a force in college basketball for a while, regardless of what happens in the tournament.

                      I thought Florida would be the team to beat in this tournament and it looked like UConn was going to take them down.

                          Quite the league this year!

                          B1G good showing in rd. 1 and hung.on in rd. 2.

                            I don't disagree, but......the last time Arizona played Duke in the tournament was 2011 and Duke was favored by 9.5 before Arizona beat them. Let"s go Cats!!!!

                                You and Sir Charles. I have no horse in the race. And, can’t stand Duke!

                                    ode me neither although maybe a smidge more likable with the new coach

                                    Being more likeable than Coach K? There's a low bar.
