Bill Murray strikes again...

Did I see a line of Zags by 8?. I'd take X in a second.

How did we beat this team twice? Trevon Blueitt is a monster

How did we beat Providence twice last year?

How did Providence beat us twice this year?

Not really to the bolded.  They finished out their road win at St. John's without him and then won their next 3 (vs. Seton Hall, at Creighton, vs. DePaul).  They didn't go into their slide right after they lost Sumner, they actually responded really well to it.

Bluiett hurt his ankle pretty badly in the Nova game, and that is really what started the slide. He was a shell of himself for a few weeks, and his injury on top of the Sumner loss was too much for them to overcome. Somewhat lost in all this is that one of their best players from last year, Myles Davis, was supposed to come back 2nd semester after being suspended for a while. He came back for a week or two and then quit. It is absolutely amazing they are doing what they are without Sumner, a first round NBA talent.

I've already heard Xavier be referred to as Cinderella.

I know they're an 11 seed, but really? Xavier is a mainstay of the tournament.

I wonder if this is me seeking out BE hate, but I don't think so. If Duke were an 11 seed and made an E8 run, would anyone dare refer to them as a cinderella? I doubt it.

The late night Sportscenter last night also referred to the Zags/X matchup as a mid-major clash, or something to that effect.  To call either of these teams as mid-majors is just laughable.

As laughable as watching late night Sportscenter?  I'm pretty sure they dumb it down after 11:00p since 15% of the audience is drunk, 20% is people waiting for the weekly world series of poker semifinals, 25% ispeople who left their TV on, and the remaining 40% is people using the TV to cover up the laptop's sound so mom doesn't catch on to what junior's doing in the basement.

Was MU the 11th seed when we made it to the E8? Or were we the #3....

3. 11 seed 2 years prior and made S16

We were the 11 when DJO's three killed off Syracuse to get to the Sweet 16, but we lost to North Carolina in the next game.

We were the 3 when we knocked off Davidson at the buzzer, got revenge on Butler for Maui, and then rolled overrated 2-seed Miami in the Sweet 16.

I would add that despite being overrated, every expert (except Eamon Brennan) picked Miami to win.

That was so great when we had Larrannega crying about the refs.

Yeah, because they were overrated

I agree. How is a team ranked most of the last couple of seasons be a cinderella.

Watching Sportscenter is laughable.  Fake news.

Welp.  Sigh.
