Same. No clue why, but same. I have a feeling A&M beats them up pretty good if they pull this one out, though.

I simply trust in Michigan's ability to fall apart in March.

They’re a second half team. They lull you into thinking you’re doing well and then they just go full bore.

What they did to Creighton in that Big East championship game when RJ Louis got rung up for a bogus tech was wild. After the two free throws it was a two point game with like eight minutes left. SJ's almost doubled them up, outscoring them 30-16 or something like that. They flipped a switch.

Arkansas will have to be careful to not let it get away from them Saturday if they get another one of those shooting droughts in the 2nd half. Going to really need to hammer it home in the 1st half.

I don’t think we’ll take any advice from kentucky fans.

It’s pretty wild how quick they can turn it on.

Don't think Michigan is gonna blow this one, sadly. San Diego leaves a lot to be desired offensively.

If anyone wants to watch some action and not just chalk, the NCAA wrestling tournament on ESPNU has been wild.

Don’t beat Mike up too bad. He played for Ole Miss and was a hard nosed player. Just moved up too fast. He has some learning left to do. The joke isn’t on him. It’s more about Florida and their hiring of a young inexperienced coach with their history. And in football you go after Napier? Oh well Napier might make it work. He has made progress. Time will tell.

I wouldn't really call today chalk. We saw an 11 beat a 6, a 10 beat a 7, a 12 beat a 5, and a 9 beat an 8 today.

Well and a couple of those teams were seeded weirdly too.

I don’t mind the occasional upset but a bunch and then you just end up with a bunch of teams that burn out around the Sweet 16.
