Probably not really fair to have to draw a team like vcu as a 5 seed. I'm pretty confident they could hang with any of the teams ranked 10-25. The tourney officials are still too bigoted against the smaller conferences.

Yes, very true. But, Wichita State sealed their fate by losing to Illinois State in the MVC tournament. They win that tournament, as they should have, and they are easily a 4, possibly a 3.

Nobody to blame but themselves.

Suck it CSU. The real University in the state moves on while you take your sorry ass back to Fort Collins.

Tad Boyle is freaking awesome.

U Conn has to be licking their bruised egos this morning. I can't remember the last time they had this early of an exit from the tourny.

How about 2 years ago when they weren't even in the tournament?

Cincy is abusing Texas....17 minutes left in the game and the Longhorns have 17 points...down by 19....just ugly.

[Cheerio]

Complete meltdown here from Cincy here :s, knew I shouldn't have picked them to go to the sweet 16

[transplant99]

Cincy holds on....hell of a comeback by the horns tho.

3 Canadians on the St. Bonaventure roster...........they lead Florida State 19-10 so far. Probably won't last much longer but a good start for them.

EDIT: Lol yup, 22-20 now.

There's always next year UConn fans!

I'm totally interested in seeing what comes of this team. Surely with no postseason next year Lamb and Drummond will take off early. Does Oriakhi transfer? Does Calhoun stay? It's going to be tough to get any more recruits. The only have 1 so far.

Does anyone know if they can play in the Big East tournament next year?

Alabama down 1 with 2.4 seconds to go and they have the ball.

Creighton wins 58-57.

Bama's buzzer beater was nowhere near

Hank Gaethers nephew on the team as well...

The Bonnies still giving Fl St all they can handle up 4 with a minute+ left in the 1st half

That's because he was hit on the elbow. Lol terrible non-call. Cost Alabama the game. Terrible.

[transplant99]

FL St wins by 3...sort of their calling card...a grind it out team....i have them in the final 4 in a couple brackets.

[OILFAN #81]

Wow that St. Bonaventure player is a moron. Lol. Down 3 and he goes for a 2 and there was a guy behind him wide open for 3.

Florida St wins 66-63.

[Stay Golden]

That St Bon vs FL State was outstanding. Just about wrecked my bracket. St Bon pushed FL State to the brink.
The Canadian Nicholson what a player for St Bon.

Another good ending:

#2 Missouri leads #15 Norfolk State 73-72 with 6:17 left.
