    If UC Irvine doesnt make it (down 12 at half), then there wont be any mid-majors in the sweet 16. (Obviously I dont count Gonzaga as a mid-major)

    That's crazy to me. Takes some of the magic out of the tourney.

      Gonzaga isn’t a Cinderella and they’ve proven themselves to be a universal competitor with an Top 10 team. However, the WCC is a mid-major conference as they are the only WCC team who wouldn’t be a Cinderella team. The PAC 12 isn’t a mid-major conference but they are the 7th best basketball conference and they are rated quite a bit higher than the WCC. The WCC is closest to the MWC. If St. Mary’s hadn’t defeated Gonzaga in their tourney, the WCC would have been a 1 bid conference.

        • I’ve kind of had Altman on ignore mode since he put KU out of our misery a couple of years ago but now I’m back to finding his face punchable again.

            Don't you have to thank him a little bit for Malcolm's transfer.

              • Thought the last block by Oregon was an obvious goal tend. Nevertheless the Oregon player can jump through the roof.

                • Two years in a row an AAC team misses out on the Sweet 16 in heartbreaking fashion.

                  Glad Houston could exersise their demons from last year and hope UCF gets the chance next season.

                      • Nice job for UH doing what they're supposed to do. Would be excellent for them to make UK fans cry into the night next week.
