NCAA Tournament Day 4

[dabvu2498]

Intriguing slate of games.

Which double-digit seed has the best chance to advance? Vegas thinks SFA. The line in that game is even. I personally think Oregon-St. Joes ends up as game of the day.

Iowa getting pounded!

Underestimate UNI at your own peril.

Iowa getting taken to the woodshed by Nova. Should be Francon 2 by now.

Well we know at least one will win for 100% certain since 10) Syracuse is playing 15) MTSU in the Midwest region. Middle Tennessee isn't a bad team, a Conference USA champion seems underseeded at 15 to me, though that's not to say I ever expected Michigan State to lose to them. I do think coming off the high of beating MSU and playing the funky 2-3 of the 'Cuse two days later, they will probably have a tough go of it.

It's hard for a lot of these double-digit Cinderellas to pull off two in a row, but seems at least one does it every year (well Gonzaga already did if one would consider them a Cinderella this year). If I had to pick one from today's slate, I would go with Stephen F. Austin against the Irish. I won't say I am expecting UNI or VCU to win their games, but neither would be hugely stunning, imo. Both of those teams rely on being tricky matchup problems this time of year, but they happen to be facing teams pretty well equipped for the matchup problems they provide (TAMU being a tough, physical team can handle UNI's physicality perhaps better than most of the other remaining higher-seeded teams, and likewise Oklahoma's guards may be better equipped to handle the defensive pressure of VCU).

The one I am most certain doesn't have a chance is Hawaii against Maryland. So, in full George Costanza "pick the opposite of what you really believe" mode, I expect that to be the one that happens :D

I think ND will eventually pull away, but SFA is pretty fun to watch.

[Reds Freak]

Wow, what a game. SFA got out of their ball movement the last few minutes, which I think cost them the game.

Wish these power 5 schools would get off their high horses and play these mid majors in the regular season and (gasp) maybe even play them on the road.

[WVRed]

I'd say Brad Underwood is going to be coaching in the Big 12 next year, either at TCU or Oklahoma State, if Dixon and Gottlieb don't happen first.

[KronoRed]

Nevermind, what a melt down.

[Tom Servo]

Wow, what a comeback by the Aggies, and a choke by Northern Iowa.

[dabvu2498]

All kinds of crazy

****

[BlackPete Ibold]

Well Doug, Xavier sure lost like a Cincinnati team huh? :-(

[Stray]

Hated that charge called on X at the end. Was more of a flop than anything. Huge shot by that Badger tho. The brutal Cincinnati sports losses continue.

[Spazzrico]

As a die hard XU fan.....that hurt me deep inside. They couldn't buy a bucket in the last five minutes....just one or two would have been enough to not let them claw back in....and then that ****ing circus shot at the end.....:cry:

[KronoRed]

One of the worst collapses ever.

Sorry Chip.

[Chip R]

I think I'm going to be sick.

[Revering4Blue]

St. Joes giving Oregon all they can handle, just as dab predicted.

What a night of NCAA hoops!

It wasn't game of the day, but you could tell St. Joes would be up for it. Oregon plays a little too wild and all over the place for my liking.
