Not missing much with this early batch.

No fatigue for the Irish after their double OT win against Rutgers and then flying from Dayton to San Diego. About to polish off Alabama.

Mike Bray used to be a dud in March type. It leads to the odd reality of achievement possibilities as a top-half vs bottom-half seed.

There are no style points in March. As long as they win, good for the league!

Are these halftimes longer? They feel longer.

Purdue up 13 at half, Yale has zero answers for Zach Edey.

Few teams do. And when Edey cones off the floor, you have to deal with Tre.

The question is if Purdue is hitting threes. If not, you cried the paint and double the bigs. If yes... Well, you're f$&@#d and you'd better just hope you can outscore Purdue based on their mediocre defense.

Well they better start playing better if they plan to win

I’m feeling odd about this spot for UW. This team has always felt a little overachieving, which means maybe a little more vulnerable. 

Losing tonight would be a disaster. 
Before the tournament, a second-round loss would not have bothered me a ton. Maybe it won’t, but this ISU team is not great on O. 
Getting to a Sweet 16 would be playing to seed, and frankly, Auburn or Miami are good enough I wouldn’t be crushed with a loss to them. 

Oh well, on Wisconsin

Illinois definitely lived up to this

Illinois BARELY survives. But they did. 

That’s March, I suppose.

4 teams through!  Let's see if we can make it 6.

4 points from Williams, Frazier and Grandison combined.  The guards were terrible.  Thankfully Plummer found his touch late.  That was ugly and they were lucky to move on.

LSU-ISU making OSU-Loyola look like a Loyola Marymount game
