Their best player and conf player of the year got hurt pretty early.

Yeah, HP also got abused on the glass. 

Purdue's offensive rebounding has almost totaled HPs total rebounding. Horrible recipe for success.

High Point would probably have had a better shot without the injury, but it's tough to overcome getting outrebounded by 20.

This is too easy. I didn't even realize SIU-Edwardsville was a D1 school before today.

I think maybe you should have realized it on Sunday when the brackets came out.

Good lord McNeese! 

 

defense just held Clemson to 13 points in the first half

Clemson didn't sneak into the tourney either, they finished second in the AAC

I mean... he should have had his pick of jobs and not be limited

[CMJ]

NC State should be a top 20-25 type job.  I know you have to compete with both UNC and Duke, but State has a helluva tradition all their own.

Now Georgia getting throttled by the Zags

[CMJ]

McNeese barely holds on after nearly blowing a 20+ point lead.  Great win by them.

and Clemson managed to make 4 consecutive threes in the last minute... never hurts a mad dash to the finish

Do you think the Mountain West was a little overrated?

Four teams got in and two are already out.  Utah State is getting blown out.

Boise State had a better record and beat SD State on their tournament but was left out and SDST got in.  What is going on with selection committee?

SEC, thus far, is 4-4 in Round 1 (includes the Longhorn loss)

[CMJ]

They have a lot of heavy hitters gong tomorrow.
