@HoopsTournament there every been a first round day without an upset?

 

[ISUTex]

I bet Garza has 30+ and they win by 15+.

Maybe. But ya never know.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Maybe. But ya never know.

Don’t undo my jinxes.

Highly successful attorney who donates time and money to the university. Yeah what an ass.

I think cringe-worthy is a great description because it doesn't imply that he's an *******. I also hate hawkeye elvis but I wouldn't say he's an ******* because I don't know the guy. I just find him annoying because I find elvis impersonators in general annoying and then you add on to that that he's dressed in all hawkeye stuff.

The worst I'd say about him is that maybe he's a bit of a camera hog

I have no idea. But I remember the last tournament (2019) being pretty boring.

USC just a bad matchup for Drake with their length. Hell of a season for the Bulldogs

Drake has had so many possessions where they just can’t get the ball in the hoop. Coming up empty on 2nd/3rd/4th chances.

Exactly. He could be the best person in the world, but showing up to games decked out as a Hawkeye version of Elvis is still something that will be greeted with more eye rolls than anything. FWIW I'd have the same opinion of Cyclone Elvis. Thankfully, there isn't one. At least not that I'm aware of.

Preach Charles Preach!

They were struggling with Creighton's defense the last couple of minutes. I wouldn't have stopped play to let them set things up. They got a great look and a super unlucky bounce. I bet that goes in 9 out of 10 times.

He shot it from past half court. (I was talking about with 1.5 sec left.)

They are going to be a beast next year. Everyone coming back plus the guys coming in including the coach's son. I could see them being a single digit seed next year.

Iowa is going to kill GCU

 

[Gunnerclone]

Garza air balled a free throw. Whoops.

 

[HoopsTournament]

@HoopsTournament there every been a first round day without an upset?

No. There have been 2 times in which there was only 1 upset.

Thursday, March 16, 2000 (Friday only had 2 upsets) - Only upset was #10 Gonzaga 77 #7 Louisville 66
Friday, March 20, 2015 (Thursday had 4 upsets) - Only upset was #11 Dayton 66 #6 Providence 53

2000 had the fewest first round with 3, but had the most second round with 9.

I think i read a stat earlier that there was only like 500 perfect brackets left, before todays games started.

 

[HoopsTournament]

I have no idea. But I remember the last tournament (2019) being pretty boring.

2019 had 12 first round upsets (1 shy of the record)

Just saw VCU had COVID problems and Oregon is advancing.

Edit: Fershizzle beat me to it. Knew this had to happen at least once.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Wow that’s huge. Oregon is going to have fresh legs
