***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

So...uh...maybe after all that I'm glad we are a 2 seed. Give me Washington State or Drake over MSU right now.

The tournament is 85 minutes old. I'm going to reserve judgment for at least another 50 minutes.
Haha, I was going to say the same exact thing. The tournament literally just started so it's a tad too early to be making overrated or underrated proclamations.
 
Yeah was wild to see the reactions as an outsider, it’s the tourny not conference play, BYU isn’t an issue
Not all the BYU posts are black and white. The tournament is also unpredictable so you can’t say that confidently. Anything can happen. Also 99.9% of fans would want their teams to face the lower seed 99 times out of 100, there’s no fear.

Plus even though Iowa State is capable of handling BYU they just match up better with Duquesne. It’s just basketball science man

Think the BYU hand-wringing isn't totally unwarranted after watching us play 1.5 games of bad basketball against them.

I think we finally figured them out in that second half in Ames, but they are tough if 3s are falling and Khalifa is playing well.

That being said, if they play like they are today, we can handle them.
