They held on!

McNeese was a really easy 12 to pick.
Wade is dirty but usually has good teams.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Surprised Mcneese came out and played that well with Wade already accepting a new job

 

[Cyched]

69 points!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Man, the McNeese fans would have paid big money to take seconds off the clock. Just a catastrophic last ten minutes but pulled it out anyway

 

[AllInForISU]

Can’t say I feel bad about Browning going out. Since he complained about ISUs non-con, I prefer to see his team lose.

You know what, I bet he takes a good core of the players with him.

And this year it was Clemsons con-schedule that was the issue.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Lmao eat **** Brownell, I will never understand why he started taking shots at ISU out of nowhere last year.

Focus on your own team bud.

He’s a slime ball

 

[CYedUp]

I would love to see a cyclone jersey on Keita

 

[Clonefan32]

Took McNeese -5.5 midway through the first half because of course I did

 

[Jimbo ISU]

Clemson is probably the most undeserving #5 seed of all time. ACC really sucks.

 

[dahliaclone]

At least byu and Houston made big 12 look good

But im a big badger fan next round. Hate byu and better half is a cheesehead.

Eh. Kenpom 19, torvik 25, WAB 20, 22 net 16bpi, 16 SOR.

Yes, the ACC sucks, and maybe one-line overseeded, but their metrics suggest a lower 5 seed to me.

 

[Kinch]

Georgia getting a royal beating.

 

[HoopsTournament]

I could wait until an "official" roundup later, but ... @HoopsTournament, what's the widest margin of victory for a 12 over 5? Curious how near McNeese is to it (still 10 minutes remaining, but up 18 as I type this).

This one ended up a little closer, but the answer to your question is 20. Eastern Michigan defeated Mississippi State 76-56 in 1991.

 

[helechopper]

Gonzaga chocking the life out of the SEC with their bare hands.

I freaking love it.

 

[CY9008]

I know the presidents are solid, but this still kind of surprised me

 

[CycloneDaddy]

What is the record for conference loses in the 1st round? SEC well on their way.
