I know it is the first 4, but I watched all 11 points in the first 12 minutes of the Virginia/Colorado State game before I upgraded and went out back to watch two cats screw. Ugggh!

We should press them from the tip off. They are short players and can’t handle the pressure.
They should just agree to play horse instead of the live game. Would be more interesting.
CSU is up 27-14 if they can get to 35 it’s probably over and 40 is insurmountable
Man uva is on fire. 14 points in first half and already 15 more in the second with 9 minutes to go
I am angry at the committee for making America watch Virginia 1 more time. They are painful to watch, and were awful for the last month of the season. Just bad !
UVA should've done us all a favor and opted out of the NCAAT.
For Tony Bennett to continue coaching that Pack Line Defense style of basketball in this era is
absolutely ludicrous.
But please, keep it up. We can always use victories against UVA any time they come our way. 👍🏾

By the way they played they did
MUST SEE TV: cbs is replaying the csu vs uva game be man I hate I forgot to hit the record button.
For the life of me, I cannot understand how a 4 or 5 star player would even consider playing at va.Yeah Bennett is a good coach Yada yadda...but their offense is brutal...if they miss shots...like they have done for the last month or so they are unwatchable
With the possible Arizona/UNC Caleb matchup, the last kid I worked with from the group (one over season doing great, one degree after D1 doing great in buisness) Jay is still playing in D 1, Jermaine Cousinard @ Oregon, has a similar round 1 matchup against South Carolina.
So happy for him, and after the injuries and his mother's cancer fight ( similar to Dawson Garcia) that he struggled with BIG TIME wanting to be there, very real struggle, although some here dismiss that type pull. Anyway, leading scorer at Oregon, playing a bit out of position at point, team got healthy, they match up with his old team in the 1st round. Go Ducks, and go Lil' Jay !!!!! Well, not so lil' anymore. Love the game, love the tournament !!

Check out moo’s very creative collection of t-shirts from their “improbable run” through the acct 🤣. The one that really stands out is the “not a rivalry” shirt. Maybe UNC should come out with one that says “A blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then” or “A blind squirrel gets lucky too”.
Well they're right about one thing.... it's not a rivalry when you lose 85% of the time to your Daddy.NC State Wolfpack T-Shirts, Fan Gear - Officially Licensed - BreakingT

Nice that we'll know our second round fate and who we'd play if we win in the first couple hours of the tournament.
I hope the Spartans get all of their "hotness" out of their system today.
I know the Heels need to worry about today’s game, period. That said, more worried me about Miss St than Mich St. if we get to second round.
Nevada just showed why I can’t stand when UNC tries to melt the shot clock. Nevada was up 17 points with 7 minutes and change to go and Dayton starts to press them. Steve Alford continuously tries to keep slowing the game down and Nevada lets the game escape from their tight hold and loses to Dayton on a 24-4 final run. Ouch!!! That game will haunt Nevada for a long time
^ CSU only scored 3 pts in the final 15 minutes of the 1st half.
Sincere mutual interest plus posse/ parental strife plus enrollment in Kanye West fake and then defaulted school equal UNC loss of interest.
We were the favorite when he lived in Charlotte and had Jeff McInnis for a head coach. There was a time when everyone thought our 2023 class would be Dillingham and GG Jackson.
But then he got a new mentor, an ex-felon, who moved with him out west to attend Kanye West's school (which shut down a couple months later.) Hubert could see how shady the recruitment was becoming so he quickly offered Simeon Wilcher who looked like a 5-star PG prospect at the time. Sim committed quickly.
it's not unusual for the slower team to pull all their players off the lane and get back to avoid letting the more talented team get a fast break.
Kentucky is the team that literally threw the rebound out of bounds and turned it over. Don't think you can "both sides" this one.
