My wild prediction for tomorrow IF a crazy wild upset is to happen is #14 Iona over #3 Oregon. Oregon underperformed down the stretch with close wins to Cal (by 3) and Stanford (by 2). They then entered the Pac-12 tournament and were tied at half vs Arizona St, got an ugly win vs Cal that went right down to the wire and then lost in a competitive game to Arizona in the Pac-12 Championship. Now they've lost Chris Boucher (tho to their credit they competed well without him vs 'Zona) who is a major leader/piece of that team which could hurt them. Oregon is like 140th or so in FT%, if it's a close game late that could kill them.
Or they'll come out and blow the doors off Iona and win by 20... regardless, hoping day 2 is better than the opener.
