I wasn't involved in the earlier storm at all, so I still don't know if I even want to go here...

But wouldn't you say that a certain team from a certain BIG and EASTern conference played like garbage?? :D

Well, you know there is something to be said for consistency.

My sincerest condolences to Creighton fans:

Funny. But I would rather send this message. Seems more in line with my feelings.

Also, I still think Cle will be a better pro than McDermot....by A LOT. Need proof? Look at how Cle performs against other pro type athletes these past 2 years in the tourney. Compare that to how McDermot handles NBA length and athleticism in the tourney....
McDermott will get drafted higher. But check back in a year or two and I bet I am right

I won't be surprised if Cle is drafted higher.

Hey, whatever floats your boat. The important thing is to Play Happy.

Oops, thanks. Posted from my phone and it didn't pick it up as a link like it normally does.

Well every single game after the first 3 today have sucked...3 great games to start the day and 5 horrible games to end it.

The idea that Kentucky is an 8 seed is laughable bordering on criminal.

I hope I'm not the only one rooting for a Dayton-Tennessee national championship just so that everyone can throw their hands up and say, "well none of this mattered."

Creighton showing why they will never be a threat to advance in the tourney. HAVE to have more balance. If you can't play defense or rebound, what happens when your shots don't fall? You get BLOWN OUT on national tv by Baylor in the round of 32.

Offense doesn't win championships unless you at least have a top 50 defense to go with it....

This!

Duke and Creighton were both top ten teams on KenPom, but both also had huge gaps between their elite offenses and their terrible defenses. After the updates, Creighton was #2 offense/#152 defense. Duke #1/#117. Michigan has by far the biggest gap between offense/defense remaining in the field, and I won't be surprised at all if Tennessee beats them. Creighton will never have tournament success until they learn to balance their team.

(Also, I like KenPom, but there is NO WAY his rankings should fluctuate so wildly after two tournament games when we already had 34 games of data points before that. Creighton fell from something like #5 to #25. Tennessee is now in the top 10 somehow. That is ridiculous.)

Yeah, two Shockers looked NBA ready after the Kentucky game, Early and Baker.
