Which is why Utah struggled this year. 10 of their 13 losses came against NCAA Tournament teams, only one of which was against BYU. That’s a murders’ row schedule, which is the reason I’ve been so defensive about the Runnin’ Utes and so intolerant of criticism. It angers me when other teams get a pass for playing a ridiculously difficult schedule, but not the Utes. It’s not fair and it’s a ridiculous double standard. Neither of BYU nor Utah State would have had a record good enough to make the NCAA Tournament either had they played Utah’s schedule this year.

Watching Illinois vs Loyola. Apparently “Cockburn” is pronounced “Coburn”.

Poor coaching.

The Big 10 is getting exposed. They had 9 teams in and only 4 remain (still have to play this round) and it wouldn’t surprise me a great deal if they all lost.
So much for the “pundits” declaring that the Big 10 is by far the best conference.

Bob Huggins has certainly adapted well to West Virginia. It’s easy to picture him after the tournament dressed in coveralls, no shirt, sitting in a folding chair on his porch, shotgun across his lap, making sure people honor the “Keep the Hell Off My Yard” sign he made from plywood and a can of red spray paint.

He’s got too many teeth.

not sure a folding chair could hold up, but the rest is spot on

Duh! Which OSU?
Oklahoma State’s guys are playing right on the verge of out of control, but with an amazing intensity and speed. Oregon State has lost a bigger lead, but has managed to score when it was absolutely necessary to stay in this. Fun game to watch.
I’ll tell you in a while.

A team in orange and black right?
The next 23.4 seconds will last 23 minutes and 4 seconds.
Both teams have played until they are bleeding.

I was right. I told you OSU would win. Yes, the one that wears orange and black.
Love this opening weekend of the tourney, and 2020, with no tourney, was the only time in 27 years I’ve not taken vacation time to watch the first 2 rounds like I’ll be doing tomorrow…
PAC12 is 6-0 (not counting Oregon’s freebie). Great performance by the Beavers to make it to the second weekend, but conference has some stiff challenges tomorrow.

I feel impending doom with Bama vs Maryland today. I have been an Alabama basketball fan for too long to have hope.
Well done Twitter:
