our history is not one of really good teams blowing it.


LOL Wut?

That's EXACTLY our history. The only team that ever made it past the sweet 16 was 8-8 in the SEC and was a 8 seed in the tourney.

We've been a 2 seed three times (86-87, 01-02, 20-21), resulting in two losses in the sweet-16 and one in the round of 32.

Little note across the bottom said West Virginia is 2-11 when scoring less than 75. I'd think we could hold them under that for sure.

For comparable opponents, they beat Auburn by 3 at home. They split with Qklahoma and beat Florida badly at home but it was in November. In true road games, they were 3-8 this season. Will be a tough game, but definitely winnable.

I told Connor McCaffery that Auburn is about two hours from where they are playing. Connor responded by saying he hopes a lot of Alabama fans come out to Birmingham to cheer on the Hawkeyes.

Do we know if Alabama is session 1 or 2 yet on Thursday? Accidentally ordered session 1 tickets that are not available to resale apparently. I was trying to order session 3. SMH I just ordered session 3 too, so whatever.

West Virginia would be tough but this is as good a draw as we could hope for all together

Trying to avoid the embarrassment of having 5+ guys opt out. The portal and ill advised draft decisions are about to gut that program. They need to just bite the bullet and replace Hubert with Stackhouse. Give him the talent UNC is always going to be able to bring in and he could make some noise. That improbable run to the title game and sending Coach K out with a loss in the Final Four was a disaster for them in hindsight. If they had won the title it would have been worth it obviously, but Hubert is probably going to get at least another year or two because of it even though he can't coach for shite.

With a 1:45pm tip, that means we are session 1 right? I bought session 2 thinking the 1 seed would get the night game.

Really hope that Sears can start hitting threes.


I was so excited when he hit a 3 in the first shot of the game. But it wasn't a sign of things to come.

I was thinking about that as well.

Maryland might get them


KenPom had WV 72-71 with a 52% chance. It should be a good game.
