I kind of like this 'primetime hoops' thing on the main Fox channel. Hopefully once the new Big 12 deal starts, we get some Saturday night games on Fox.

Testifying
Nova has only lost 1 game in the last month and a half, at Providence. Beat Creighton soundly today.

I'm definitely picking Purdue to get upset early. Edey is really skilled and moves well for his size but the rest of the team is pretty meh
Agreed but...there aren't many teams anywhere that couldn't get beat early. Brackets are gonna be a mess this year. I can't think of one team that I could say 'despite matchups...they are pretty solid to get to the Final Four...'

Oh I agree that this tourney will be nuts. I just think if Purdue is a 1 or 2 seed they would be the one I pick to lose 1st

Indiana is now gonna launch into the top 12 or so and while they're good I don't think they're that great. I could see them bouncing early too.

And as 'meh' as Iowa is, despite the past few years getting better seeds and having better teams, I think this is maybe their best chance to make the Sweet 16. Will they? No idea but just think this is just as likely as the other years despite being 'worse' because the playing field is so level.

And that is what makes it the best sporting event.

The only thing with Iowa is they've been so pitiful away from home. But who knows. They can get hot

Gonzaga's arena is rocking. Cool little bball arena. Honestly the Zags coming to the Big12 would suck. Just wouldn't make sense and it is obvious these 2 teams are jacked up to play each other
