I know it's crazy to look too far ahead in a tournament like this (ASU is gonna be hard enough), but UC-Irvine is gonna be tough to defeat if we both get to Indianapolis.  I've seen them a couple of times this year and they're really good.

Can’t decide who to root for in this one. I have a grad degree from Mason but on the other hand, best bj of my life was from a girl from Bradley and that made me a lifelong fan.

Apparently we are in the best portion of the bracket.  No upsets and teams seem interested in advancing.  Pack the Pit.

[CMJ]

Gotta feel for Dayton a bit.  They were a 1 seed and had to play on the road twice because their arena was already in use (NCAA First Four and then today the Ohio HS playoffs).

Flipping between the Duke/Baylor game and OSU/SMU.  Cowboys playing good early.

[CMJ]

Oklahoma State wins!

 

It seemed unclear if we could based on a post from a few days ago, but should we win today NT should have the opportunity to host the quarterfinal.

Doesn't the higher seed host?

Not if they have their facility being used for something else.  Dayton couldn't host either of their games as a 1 seed because their arena was already scheduled for other purposes.  

 

It was said earlier this week that the Super Pit might already be rented out for the quarterfinal gameday.
