Shaka Smart...lol. His time in Austin has shown that the best thing he did at VCU was follow Anthony Grant. Is there any coach that does less with the kind of talent he has?

Smart is gone after next year.

My bracket is beyond ****** up

I had Arizona in the championship game... besides that and Miami I still have all my sweet 16 teams left.

It's good that Nevada went into overtime so there was basically zero time without a game now the KSUvCreighton is on.

Musselman with the f bomb and is promptly muted by TBS lmao

A compelling storyline in Creighton-KSU game: Can Marcus Foster extend his 7-year college career for at least another game?

The hundreds in attendance will find out.

I hope so.

Marshall upsets Wichita State by 6. Didn't pick that one.

I love the year WSU finally gets the seeding they think they have always deserved and promptly wet the bed.

Bruce vs. Greg - The Game of the Century.

 

[NWICY]

Actually had Nevada picked, wouldn't have been upset if Tx won because B12. Time to go read the Shag and read them rip Shaka.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Only 62 perfect brackets left on ESPN.

Sorry if already covered but where is Dean Wade?

Question about tournament seating: Do they not sell tickets for the courtside section, in TV-camera view, to fans of teams that are playing? Audio suggests MSU has plenty of fans in attendance, but almost nobody is seated in that area.

It isn't only this game, seems like there was a lot of emptiness in games yesterday when there was a regional advantage for one of the participants.

I realize the fanbase is clustered more in the corner, near cheerleaders. But just wondering.

The best thing Shaka Smart did at VCU was have Will Wade as his assistant. He doesn't have him in Austin, and it shows...

 

[cyclones500]

Edit on my crowd-seating question -- dawned on me that's probably where teams in 2nd game will be. I overthought/underthought it.

 

[ISUTex]

Where is Wade?

Where is Wade?

Injured. Available for "emergency," which hasn't been defined.

Shaka reminds me of Charlie Strong. Heck of a job recruiting, but nothing to show for it.
