No one cares about the 1 vs 16 matchups. Even the one involving Virginia.
Ready for more basketball. Depressed about PJs injury but I’ll enjoy the tournament while we are still in it

Can Iowa pull off the upset today??
Yesterday we learned that a 3 pt underdog is only technically an upset, but not really. Does 4.5 count? We'll need clarification on where the cutoff is. @Monorojo
I’m anxious to see how UVA comes out the gate after the way they lost to FSU.
Do you think today's games will have higher or lower ratings?
No idea, frankly. I know you probably think millions would tune in to watch Zion paint a wall, but even if that’s the case, I’m not sure it equals higher ratings for the slate.
Ja Morant played and dazzled. The defending champs played. Kentucky, KU, Michigan St and Michigan played. Auburn had a crazy finish. And a nice game between Syracuse and Baylor.
Honestly have no idea man. I won’t believe he’s playing until I see him out there. No reason to get my hopes up. We aren’t going past the sweet sixteen without himHe should be back for the second weekend, right?
Yesterday was a snoozer. One of the most boring Day 1’s in awhile, right?
I’m hoping it looks more like Gonzaga-FDU than Michigan State-Bradley. However, just get the ****ing win and move on.

The term upset more has to do with the consensus opinion. Like when it was the overwhelming majority of people who thought Ohio state would lose to Alabama in the 2014 sugar bowl because the sec was so fast. Then zeke embarrassed Alabama running for 200 yards+ and people were surprised when Ohio state spanked that ass and embarrassed an entire region of the United states (the south)
A Vegas line of 3 points in either basketball or football isn’t really an upset. There is no overwhelming consensus on who will win the game, it’s a toss up. Kind of like two 8-4 teams in football or a 12/5 matchup where the best player on the floor is on the 12 seed (see Murray st and Marquette)
If you need another lesson in sports, just let me know.
Survive and advance is the name of the game. Don't matter how. Though I hope for your sake you guys win big. If you somehow lost to a 16 back to back years I think it would be okay to KYS.

Please do some research. What I am saying is not some new concept, this is common sense amongst sports fans who have been around the block.
Are you new to this? Not even trolling, just trying to help.
Did you read that article?
Agree with your point. So if ratings are better today, that has to be a clear indication that people care.
As human beings we become decent people by learning from our mistakes and being better today than we were yesterday. You have let yourself down and as a result, you have let us all down. We were all rooting for you too.The term upset more has to do with the consensus opinion.

Well, some of us still have to make it to the second round. So you just hold your horses buddy.I’ve always enjoyed the second round way more than the first round.
I love the tourney but the first round games are by far my least favorite.

That's because you didn't hold on to them.I don’t have any horses pal

Ready to watch Iowa lose by about 25
Moving away from spreads and only to money lines, IMO the only thing you can count on is that teams will play to win, its anyone's guess who will cover a spread. Blowouts can tighten up down the stretch with poor FT shooting and tight games can turn into blowouts with good FT shooting.

Are you saying that Reddish's season long effort to shave points finally does us in tonight?Cam you imagine if this Duke team didn't advance, though? What a Reddish-ulous thought.
