[pisgah101]

Let’s discuss the day here. What games are you most looking forward to?

The Lville game to kick off the day is exciting
Clemson mcneese might be good as will Vcu BYU.
Hoping for at least 1 major upset

I want to see some SEC teams go down. One went down last night with Texas.

I have this feeling that Wofford is going to beat Tennessee inside Rupp Arena

Tennessee’s inability to score is going to get them ousted and Wofford is on a roll right now

I hope that doesn't happen because that would create a much easier path for Kentucky. I'm hoping Tennessee beats Kentucky.

 

[HeelsShmeels]

Can’t have Kentucky doing well. They already claim Pope a coaching legend .

The same Wofford we beat by 51? Bold prediction to beat the SEC tournament finalists! i guess thats why we love this tournament...there is always a chance! lol

Should be a fun day. My nerves are already shot for tomorrow.

Breathe in and Breathe out. You’ve Got It Brother

Breathe in and Breathe out. You’ve Got It Brother

I'm usually not this bad; anytime I think we might have a chance to go deep, my mind always goes to the worst-case scenario. I'm concerned about Flagg's ankle, playing a stacked Baylor team that was preseason top 10, the potential of Roach knocking us out, and honestly, the SEC has been so good, and Mississippi State plays so rough they worry me, too. I can't stand the thought of this team going out early. As fun as they have been to watch and as great as it has gone, that is a potential reality that makes me sick to think about.

 

[AlanInNJ]

I much prefer the Thursday Saturday draw, especially in the first weekend. I'm no Bleed , but the anxiety of waiting until late Sunday to see if we make it out of the first weekend kills me.

 

[denverexpat]

UL vs Creighton as a 8/9 is just stupid...shows the committee has no clue

 

[BDNC08]

Any word on Cooper’s mobility?

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Geez Louisville getting dominated. So much one on one play and Creighton not missing from 3

 

[springsportster]

I went out on a big limb and picked Louisville to get to the final four for some reason. Bracket likely to be busted soon lol

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Good lord, that was an embarrassing first half for the Cards.

 

[dukecorey]

Where is the ACC Defensive Player of the Year? No defense by Louisville at all.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Yeah, Louisville looks overmatched and overwhelmed.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Ugh. Man, this doesn't even look anything remotely like the Louisville team we've seen this year.

 

[christophero]

I thiought Louisville was going to the elite eight lol

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I had them winning this game, and I thought they could give Auburn a game, but ultimately, I had Auburn. Even still, I didn't see this coming. Creighton is better than I thought they were.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Damn. Smith went down again for Louisville. Not looking good for him

 

[christophero]

Big East baby. We're back.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Damn. Smith went down again for Louisville. Not looking good for him

Ankle injuries are scary. This is why I worry about Coop. I hope Smith is okay.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Kelsey with a dumb tech but I've seen other coaches do worse.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Houston is just punking this 16 seed.

 

[bullcity gamer]

I thiought Louisville was going to the elite eight lol

Same Chris haha

 

[bullcity gamer]

High Point hanging with Purdue

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I did not see Louisville getting handled today. The great defense we saw was nonexistent. Pat Kelsey definitely has Louisville back, but they didn't come anywhere close to playing their game today.

 

[Jjallen]

The 8s and 9s in this tournament are tough. Other than a few exceptions, the 8/9s are scarier than the 6/7s.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

This is why Baylor and Mississippi State worry me.

 

[christophero]

St John's beat Creighton easily last week.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

St John's beat Creighton easily last week.

Ok.. That's enough Big east, St John's talk today 😂

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Not seeing any upsets early on. I guess, save for Creighton beating Louisville, but that was a coin flip.

 

[christophero]

Its been years since St. John's was good the Steve Lavin years.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I have always thoroughly disliked Lavin.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Houston is just punking this 16 seed.

Houston doing what a 1 supposed to do to a 16. Hopefully we're just as successful early tomorrow. Can't give underdogs hope.

 

[AlanInNJ]

And Auburn in a first half dogfight! I am sure they will settle in and pull away, but anything could happen!!

 

[bleediteveryday30]

This is why we have to come out locked in tomorrow. I think Auburn will win by double digits, but give Alabama State credit for bringing the fight.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Clemson looking bad. Is this the 12-5 underdog winner for the tourney?

 

[christophero]

Clemson down 18 to mighty McNeese State.
