Lots of fouls being called for nonsense.

My bracket does not reflect my rooting interests!

It's small consolation if my cats don't win.

But my bracket usually sucks so, it sometimes isn't small consolation.

The problem is for years in the early 90s, my bracket was zona heavy. Til 97, I picked them out in the first round and they won. So now I feel like if I want them to win, I gotta pick them to lose. It's a conundrum.

50 years since a tournament win. You know TJ is partying.

I’m not seeing any match up problems or stylistic problems from either of these teams yet, so probably either are fine.

Anyone else seeing anything?

Gonna laugh at all the national pundits who are shocked by this.

So fucking glad Oregon is on the other side of the bracket.

Can Dayton put up more of a fight please? I want a tired Nevada team not a well rested one.

Wouldn't hurt Tommy to call Sean. He knows all about Steve Alford teams.

They look like a pretty typical fringe top 25ish team. I didn’t see and big match up problem or contrasting style problem.

It feels pretty straight forward.
