In ESPN's latest bracketology, AZ would get St Mary's in the 2nd round, then if things went according to seed, Baylor, Tennessee, Purdue and then Houston or UConn. Sounds pretty tough for a 2 seed.


Indeed. Let’s hope for the best and expect the worst. One thing we all know is we will go as far as Boswell takes us….


Boswell's now a bench guy due to poor form. Haven't been able to watch the games lately. I'd wait to see the brackets. Why would you say AZ's fate depends on a bench guy? There are plenty of other guards.


0-5 as I type this…not a good game

No. He needs another year in college to find himself again. Didn't hurt Jalen Williams.

Tried to watch Purdue and Zach Edey, but Big Ten basketball is just so damn bad. Makes my eyes bleed.

Bad basketball is never a turnoff for me, I watch girl tournaments. I just need to be invested in team or at least player, I personally do not find any sport very entertaining where I am just complete neutral.

I can not watch bad Soccer tho. I am very casual Soccer watcher, basically only watch Premier league. But then I would watch my National team play, and I should be invested, but man, it is so freaking crap, it is sad :lol: People say USA can't play Soccer, please... you are still better than like 80% of the world, you are just bad for USA standards...

Good lord a likely 1 seed Tennessee LOST/got blown out by Mississippi state in SEC tournament. 73-56. 38-19 at half time. Dalton Knecht one of the IT college players of the moment was 4 of 17 in this game. There ya go. How to stop Tennessee.

Top 10 teams ain't looking so good heading into the tourney!

I'm watching Big 12, the American and SEC. ACC is way down talent wise.
