Well...if I had known Buffalo was going to put an ass whipping on Arizona, I would have stayed up and bought some popcorn. I love that. Fitting end to that season.
Here's a nugget I just read: Kentucky went 0-for-6 from 3-point range vs. Davidson, ending a streak of 1,047 games with at least one 3-pointer. Streak began in November 1988(!)
I thought Nate Oats (Buffalos coach) sounded familiar: ISU fans raised $11,000 for his family back in 2015 when his wife was undergoing treatment for lymphoma.

Sounds like all is going well for him now. Just signed a 5-year extension with Buffalo last week estimated between $550-600K per season.

Nugget: Since formation of Big 12 in 96-97, Pac-12 is first major conference (power-5 plus Big East) that didn’t have at least one team advance to round-of-32.
I would love to see ONE ref have the cajones to T up Calipari, just once!
I can't stand watching him come out onto the floor during game play. Yesterday it was terrible. On one occasion the ref came walking down the court and ran into him, and all the ref did was push him aside. On another occasion he was out on the floor in the 2nd half while Kentucky had the ball right in front of him, and he literally grabbed one of his own players and shoved him to the spot on the floor he wanted him to be. The player was standing right in front of Calipari, and Calipari went on the floor and pushed him to go down into the corner.

Good for him and better for Buffalo. I'd think he'd be getting a call to move onward and upward if he's willing to listen.
Holy crap; insane. BTW, during that same stretch, I wonder how many games ISU was skunked? For example, during the Fred era, did we ever go 0-fer from the Trey? Seems like we always had one go down.
Sir Charles was about to cry on the show afterwards. Very disappointed. Of course, right before the show he had the West Coast teams like SDSU and AZ going a long way. He lives in AZ so I guess the local bias got the best of him.

It should be an automatic T if a coach makes contact with anyone in the field of play.
You should never pick Zona to go far. Especially this year when their defense has been atrocious and they play in a weak conference.

Which of today's games are supposed to be good matchups?
My very, very quick look at the bracket sheet makes me think there could be a lot of eye-bleeding ugliness today.

Buffalo looked tough; win by 21-pts. Hit 15 Treys and out-rebounded Zona. Not sure they can beat Kent, who has been playing some of their best ball lately.

I'm interested in:
Clemson (5) vs New Mexico State (12) upset alert?
Nevada (7) vs Texas (10) Big 12 connection, I think Texas could be in trouble here
Creighton (8) vs Kansas State (9) lots of connections here, but pulling for the Big 12 (even Bruce)
