Apparently the non-call on the backcourt violation was the correct call because he didn't have possession. :dontknow:

Oakland choked at the end of regulation and then continued to choke in overtime.

Wolfpack lives!!! My bracket still alive! LMAO.

EDIT - No my bracket broke after day 1. I meant my pick to win it all is still alive! for me my cinderella pick IS my bracket LOL. As stated later I don't think they'll win it but I do think they can get to Elite 8.

It really sucked they ran into NC State. Who have been playing very good defense of late. I think Oakland could/would've won against any of the other smaller teams i.e. anyone who's not AZ, UConn, or UNC.

I got them winning it all! LMAO.

Eh it's for fun. I don't think they can beat AZ or UConn but picking those 2 would be boring. For betting yes I'd take AZ or UConn. I do think NC State has the personnel and maturity, and are playing well enough to go to Elite 8 given this bracket. Rest in the later rounds between games will help them.

Really? All 22 million on ESPN were bust after round 1.

The odds of you having a perfect bracket right now would be close to 1 in 100 million.

Haha that makes more sense. I was going to say, if you just parlayed your first round picks you would’ve won hundreds of thousands off $5.

I got State making the Final 4. Mine is alive as well.

Love their team with the inside post presence in Burns.

FAU's coach Dusty May has been hired by Michigan to be their next coach.

So one coaching domino falls. Michigan has decided to go for a young up and coming coach.

Yeah I like their size inside. It's complimentary - Azarra is the quick athletic PF who's a great help defender to counter Burns' lack of quickness. They got excellent guard play from Horne and the rest of their roster plays complimentary ball. And defensively they've played real real solid lately. They play with poise and maturity. There was no panic when Oakland took lead against them late in game. So that's going to help them against more talented teams.

Are we sleeping on Knecht?

Yeah his defense isn't great, but his athleticism is underrated and he has the shot making ability.

I can see a more under control Tyler Hero.
