***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

Getting to play an 11 seed in the second round, Houston having their worst day offensively of the entire season, and getting to play a 9 seed to go to the final 4. Pretty fortunate path.

They are certainly the weak link in this FF but kind of underrated in how quickly they can score too. The shots haven't fallen when they've been there.

We'll see if they can get it to like 5.
 
A total of 18 fouls so far in the second half, with 8 minutes to go. Buckle in. You can always count on the refs to make it about them.
 
Arizona-Michigan is the NC game. However, the winner might have a tough time getting going on Monday.

I hate the thought of Hurley winning another NC.

The next game has the potential to be the game of the year unless one of the teams can't keep things going after last weekend.

Never know; it was 10 years ago that Oklahoma with Buddy Hield had a great tournament then got worked over by 40 to Nova in the FF.
 
If UConn wins tonight and beats Michigan in the Championship, they will become the 2nd team to have 4 wins against a single conference (UCLA, Michigan State, Illinios, Michigan)

Who is the only team to ever accomplish that feat?
Syracuse, 2003 vs. Big 12: Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas.

Note: @cyclonespiker got to it before I did. :)
 
Such stupid play by UConn. Up 8 getting the ball back inside 3 minutes and instead of just pulling up and bringing it up with control and milk clock they spaz out and throw it away in transition. Stupid.
 
Every time I watch UConn I am completely underwhelmed by Ball and Karaban. Ball seems to take dumb shots and make dumb plays and Karaban just doesn’t seem to do much.
