The video board in Seattle is 3 sided. Don't see that too often.

That sounds interesting. the best video board I have ever seen is at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. It's a round band that is really cool and easy to read from all angles.

Michigan State has proven to be a 2nd half team all year.

Happened again today.

And let’s hope again vs Ole Miss.

Because the 2nd half betting has been very profitable

Arizona has made a lot of dumb plays the last several minutes

This whole tournament, teams have massively failed with breaking traps.
It's wild.

That looked like an Oregon foul in real time, and replay confirms

Are Caleb Love and Coleman Hawkins the same guy somehow?

It's either some crazy athletic move or falling over.

Why is Caleb Love's first handshake with Jaylen Rose, the game announcer?

 

[CloniesForLife]

Very chalky tournament. All the teams in the S16 are from Big12, Big10 and SEC plus Duke

Well 4 Big12 teams make the Sweet 16

And the best 4 in the regular season.

Arizona wins. Love has a big game.

Big XII at least showed up this tournament. Most of the success is from the new members, which is a little dissappinting, but at least we got a quarter of the teams in the sweet sixteen.

Well 4 Big12 teams make the Sweet 16

But seven from the SEC and no Cinderellas for the 1st time. Is this the new norm in the NIL era? Will the big 12 be able to keep up? Kansas is supposed to carry the conference in hoops, but Ive seen no indication of that in the NIL era.

Two teams with big NIL money, TT and BYU, are in. Is it x and o's, or can an average coach look good with the right talent? It wouldn't shock me if Kansas struggles to be in the top four every year.

I went very chalky with my bracket this year, and it’s working out well so far. It helps that I had BYU as my one lower seed advancing.

I’ve got 14 out of the Sweet Sixteen (only missing on Iowa State and Clemson).

Now to come crashing down to earth next weekend, lol.

That shows me that the Big XII made good expansion choices. I will be rooting for all four to advance as far as they can.

I had 13. Missed on ISU, St Johns and Michigan. I picked UC San Diego as my one Cinderella but otherwise went very chalk

Dan Patrick Show just said nearly 50% of the starters on the Sweet 16 teams started their career at a non-P5 school, that’s pretty wild.
