Creighton can just hit the NOS button sometimes, brutal way to go out for Oregon but what a game.

Even as it stands today? I think I would rather be looking at Creighton followed by Purdue to get to the Final Four as opposed to Illinois followed by UConn.
Added bonus in that scenario that I think we would have a much lower liklihood of ever facing the 1 seed in the Midwest as I see Purdue as more likely to stumble before the elite 8 than UConn.

I was thinking day 1, but the MW has been mostly chalk, I didn't realize how good Oregon really was. I think you're right, I'd still rather be in the MW but it's a lot closer than I thought two days ago, mostly Purdue's half of the bracket. Creighton, Gonzaga, and Oregon was a pretty good group.
Creighton wins in double overtime over Oregon. 3 Creighton starters play ALL 50 minutes. Crazy game.

I found the tournament as a whole was more entertaining when Iowa State wasn’t in it. You can just enjoy the games with your only rooting interest being how well your bracket is doing.
When Iowa state is playing, those games are so great to watch, but I just can’t get into any of the other games because I only care about our games. So the tournament is kinda lost in the noise.
When Iowa St got beat in the past I had no desire to watch any BB the rest of that weekend.
Thats an interesting perspective and I can see it.
personally, I immediately lose all interest in the tournament when we lose in the first round. As long as we win a game, I'm more interested when we are in it. If we aren't in it, I it's kind of hit or miss and I can still get kind of bitter about the whole thing.
What’s the equivalent of “angry up-vote” on CF, because you’ve earned it.
I would never actually pronounce it that way to anyone but a good friend who knows my penchant for word play. But, now that they're out, I'm going to miss my brain saying "Doo Kwez' Nee" when I see their name in print.
Iowa State has five straight. Double digit wins. The last four against ncaa tourney teams.
Scheduling is so dumb on the second day games. First game at 1110, second at 130, then the third doesn’t tip until 430! How hard is it to stagger tips by an hour starting at 11?
I'd guess they found ratings to be the best in the evening instead of mid-afternoon.
Seems like they do this every year for Sunday of the first weekend.

Just saw this on SC. I gave me a good laugh.
Agreed. Aggy is a tough draw. The league could really use Houston and Baylor winning today.
