I was really hoping for a bug name splash hire like Beilein, but that was a fantasy. I feel like TJ was the best candidate of all the other coaches being thrown around so I csnt complain.

I didn’t understand the Craig Smith stuff. I wanted a Freddy return or like you said, a big name hire. But if I had to choose between Smith or TJ, I’d choose TJ. Just because of the fact that he’s probably a better fit for us. Especially with recruiting the Midwest again.
I might be able to research it later, but if you want to, go to http://hoopstournament.net/Team_Scores.php and select Syracuse.
Looking at least 5 double digit seeds so far in round of 32. @HoopsTournament what is record for double digit seeds in round of 32 and then in sweet 16?
Round of 32 - There were 10 double-digit seeds in 2016
Sweet 16 - There were 5 double-digit seeds in 1999
There is a shot at breaking both right now.
With Clemson losing, 4 ACC Teams have lost. It is only the 3rd time in tournament history that 4 teams from a single conference have lost on the same day. The other two were SEC (3/17/89) and Big East (3/22/13).
At least you didn't promise to paint your balls green.
Before today, there were never more than 4 games played in the same state in a single day in the tournament. Today, there were 16 played in Indiana with 12 of those in Indianapolis.
You should keep a tally and get back us after the tournament with all the informative ratings you rack up. I missed the old days of being able to give CF rep. Love all these tourney facts you provide every year.
I filled out 1 bracket for ***** and giggles. This might be the worst I've ever done. Only got 8 of 16 right, already have 4 sweet sixteen gone and 1 elite 8 and it's only day 1. Neither of my upsets Va tech and Winthrop won. Hope my bad luck continues as I have EIU in the elite 8.
