Cuse getting an ABSURD whistle right now. 2-3 bad calls in a row on Houston on successive possessions in their favor

Couldn't agree more.  Complete garbage.  Probably cost Houston a 6 pt swing minimum.

It would go a long way toward helping me win my office pool if UCLA could knock ‘Bama off today. Please and thank you.

They have a chance.  It’s one of the biggest contrast in style games of the weekend

I think Baylor has a 75% or better chance to get to the title game.  They will have a challenge with Houston if they match-up in the F4 but I can't see them losing.  It's a bad sign for the other teams in their bracket that they couldn't hit the triple at all yesterday and still coasted to a W.  Houston is excellent defensively but I don't see then scoring enough points with Baylor's perimeter quickness. 

As for the other side we'll have to see what happens today.  Is Livers coming back and which team has the best chance of guarding Gonzaga?  When the tournament started I thought Baylor had the tougher path to the title game, now I would say I was completely wrong.  I think there are several dangerous teams on the Zags' side including USC and Oregon.  The committee really did the P-12 a disservice by having them in the same S-16 bracket. 

I hope we see the Zags/Bears Final but I have a few doubts now.  Not because Gonzaga isn't the best team of that group but  don't think they will have a serious challenge before the E8 round.  Creighton really can't defend that team for 40 mins.  I expect much better games today and hopefully more drama.

If Gonzaga wins the title, I'm golden.

Otherwise, I need USC and Florida State today and Arkansas tomorrow.

My bracket is dead and I don't plan to place any cash bets -- I'll live vicariously through Dish on that score.

But I find myself pulling for Gonzaga because I want Mark Few to get a title. He has built a fine program, learning from both successes and mistakes, and just getting better and better at it. He has stayed loyal to a smallish Catholic school in a non-major conference, holding off numerous suitors over the years to build something special. And, to my knowledge, he has done it all with class.

I root for a guy like that, and I don't want his career to end someday with, "Great coach, except he never won a championship."

I'm 100% rooting for Gonzaga and Few as well.    My bracket is in decent shape but I'm  7th in a pool with 260 people.  Only the top 4 places cash and it's an uphill climb.  If Bama makes it to the F4 I may finish 4th but that appears to be my ceiling.    Oregon St. messed thing up.  :(

About 75% of my office pool had Gonzaga winning. So that isn’t enough for me.

At this point, I'd love to see UCLA, Oregon State and USC (or Oregon) make the Final Four...partly because it would be fun to see a quasi-Pac 12 Tournament, and partly because it would guarantee that a B1G team won't win.

I'm with you here Goooo.  No offense to WisBlue but I'd like to see the B14 completely flame out.  That said I think that team with Livers is extremely dangerous.

They got two HUGE hurdles before even discussing playing with Livers back

True.  He's out unless they make the F4?  I didn't realize that.  I'm not sure how good FSU is but maybe they find a way today?

I'm in a small pool.  Currently 4th out of 15 but the top 3 already lost their champ.

6 had Gonzaga winning it all but none of them can pass me.  4 had Illinois and 5 people had unique champs.  Michigan is the only other champion still alive.

What was it? Were the Zags still a 13.5 point favorite this morning?
