High Point reallyyyyy needed one of those two questionable 3s to drop

High Point DIG DEEP COMEBACK

THE TOURNAMENT IS TOURNAMENTING

Tournament, tournament, TOURNAMENT.

FINALLY

@DavidWorlock @AdamZagoria

@AdamZagoria The NCAA didn't spell the name wrong. The transcriber did. We had them correct it when it was brought to our attention. I'll remember this BS when you beg for a better seat at the Final Four.

Rick Pitino should be able to get some good motivational bulletin board material out of the NCAA spelling his name wrong on the transcripts

@T3Bracketology @CBKReport Yeah but T3 he doesn’t win any championships!! He just always schedules super hard non cons, performs well in them, then runs through his league and always make it out of the first round! He sucks!

@CBKReport You can tell a lot about if a person actually knows a lick about college basketball just by asking their opinion of Gonzaga. Great barometer

"Gonzaga always chokes in March." 2026: 31-4 | 3 seed | R32 2025: 26-9 | 8 | R32 2024: 27-8 | 5 | S16 2023: 31-6 | 3 | E8 2022: 28-4 | 1 | S16 2021: 31-1 | 1 | RU 2020: 31-2 ❌ 2019: 33-4 | 1 | E8 2018: 32-5 | 4 | S16 2017: 37-2 | 1 | F4 No, they don't.

@T3Bracketology I think the A10 and CAA would BOTH benefit from downsizing their leagues by 2-4 teams

A great run to end the year by VCU comes to a close. Ran into Illinois near its best today. Illini are a great team! Conversations need to be had about the perception of the A10 of late (myself included). Yes it can cannibalize at times, but no lack of talent. Should never be a 1 bid league, and 2 bids doesn’t feel good enough either. The process is off.

I love Duke but boy we have gotten one hell of a favorable whistle

@BamaBwell @chichicjtc @mikerodak Nate scheduled what should have been 3 NCAAT teams but Yale blew it. He also played a true road game at North Dakota. He’s one of the few who actually give the little guys a chance

@chichicjtc @mikerodak Lol. Nate doesn’t owe anybody a game. We only played the most difficult schedule in the country, or maybe it was second hardest.

Nate Oats: "The only mid-major schools we turn down [to schedule] are the ones that aren't good enough. Like, when we look at our buy games, they need to be good enough because I don't want to playing Quad 4 games."

@SpeedyTDT @ClemsonRT @BarrettSallee I feel like 95% of Clemson fans would’ve taken a top 6 ACC finish, an 8 seed and 20 wins preseason. This offseason is huge for you guys, if Brad can retain most then next year they’ll be dangerous

@TSLester__ @ClemsonRT @BarrettSallee Agree. I'll be honest; I thought SCar would be better than us this year.

Clemson fans … your thoughts on Brad Brownell …

@daydenjaniels5 @johnrivers131 St Louis can absolutely knock off Michigan, I don’t trust Michigan to stay with them if St Louis gets hot from deep

@johnrivers131 The 9v1 games this year are so peak especially TCU/DUKE and SLU/Michigan

Round of 32 is where the real separation is at

Miami will beat Purdue

@JMannsTakes I think this year it was moreso alot of the upset potential teams just got the absolute worst draws they could’ve

@TSLester__ I think it’s a loaded topic. NIL definitely has something to do with it but also double-digit seeds were in games late and couldn’t execute down the stretch

@JMannsTakes a lot of talk about NIL and Transfer Portal being why we aren’t seeing as many upsets. I think the biggest culprit is the overinflated ball, thoughts?

@nickbateman33 I also think today we REALLY saw the effect of some the mid major powers losing their conference tournaments. Belmont and UNCW we might have a different outlook today. It just sucks the first round feels absolutely front loaded

@TSLester__ Oh by far a better first round than last year Last years first round had 0 memorable games. It completely shifted my perception of lie I didn’t think that was possible

Today has been deplorable outside of Kentucky Santa Clara Favorites are 12-0 straight up. No double digit seeds have won Thank god we were blessed with madness yesterday

@shaun_p_adams @JakeMarsh18 Today has been more of a reflection of what happens when the best teams in a conference don’t win their tourney. Belmont, UNCW both would’ve been much bigger upset candidates than their counterparts

@JakeMarsh18 Day 1 yes. Day 2 full of blah. The number of absolute blowouts from the get go have made today one of the worst watches ever. Nil/portal does have something to do w it. Non majors don’t keep their talent like they used to. Also Vcu was only a 2-3 pt dog no? St. Louis was a 9 seed

Enough of this narrative. High Point, VCU, Saint Louis all advance. Santa Clara a miracle away of knocking out a blue blood. Siena up on Duke for majority of game. Haven’t had many memorable games today, but the first round product as a whole has been great.

@ClemsonRT @BarrettSallee He overachieved this year, hard to really be upset at all with the job he did this year

@BarrettSallee Does well with what he is given. Offense always has droughts at the worst times.

The ACC fooled everyone, we will be back to a 4/5 bid league next year
