I hope Fran goes to the Sweet 16.

Nebraska won an NCAA Tournament game. Anything is possible.

If VCU could finish at the rim, it'd have a 12-point lead.

Doing well on the defensive boards, though.

Ah, I thought there was an actual scandal going down. Like an ineligible player being used in a game or something along those lines.

You aren’t happy for Hoiberg?

Sorry, no. Just a joke.

And yes, that’s great for Hoiberg. However, If there is such thing as a harbinger of doom Nebraska winning an NCAA game would be it.

Trivia Question: Nebraska won their first NCAA Tournament game in their 9th try. Every team from the 5 Major conferences have now won a tournament game. Which major conference team took the 2nd longest (6 games) before they won their first tournament game?

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Ozempic Barkley is weird as hell. Some people need a little meat on their bones.

 

[CYedUp]

Yellow shoes for VCU sucks. Can't finish at all

 

[Kinch]

Northwestern?

 

[CyGuy5]

No idea why I picked VCU, they’re terrible

 

[JP4CY]

VCU in danger

 

[HoopsTournament]

Northwestern?

No, they won their first tournament game.

 

[Urbandale2013]

UNC going to still struggle with injuries going forward.

 

[Kinch]

Kinda like Edmonds of TCU. Indicated that Big 10 schools don’t face the type of defensive intensity that Big 12 schools face week in, week out.
