Exciting, but X had a great chance to win in regulation

Tough loss for Xavier. Had two shots to force double overtime.

Is it just me or were the games pretty “meh” these first two rounds? So many blowouts and teams running away with it. Should make for a great sweet sixteen as all the best teams are still playing for the most part.

Overall, yes, it has been pretty boring. Especially, since the past few tournaments have featured some huge upsets.

However, the Duke vs. UCF game was a treat. One of the best round of 32 games I've seen.

+1. Both those teams brought it.

Yeah, definitely a few good ones. I’ll add the LSU one in there as well. I just saw on tv that Saturday had the largest average margin of victory in the history of the tournament at like 15 points. Not complaining but it does seem like there is a clear cut group of teams better than the rest. They all survived the “madness” so it should be a good week of hoops next week.

Only a single OT game in the first 4 days. That's barely craziness let alone madness!

14 of top 16 seeds advance. And one’s a 5 seed. The other beat UW.

Top 14 on ken pom, plus 18 and 29.

Way too much chalk. Once MU loses, I'm usually all about Team Chaos. Sadly...that's not happening.

Creighton has to go on the road now as unfortunately TCU bear Nebraska

This is very superbarish but considering Lamb was a BE player...

Will DePaul be the last team standing from the Big East?

Herman Cain · « **Reply #1464 on:** March 26, 2019, 12:50:59 PM »

DePaul has locked in their first winning season in many years. They are now 17-15 after beating Longwood in the CBI. They will play Coastal Carolina next in the semis.

They are the highest rated kenpom team remaining in the CBI. The other semi-finalists: Coastal Carolina, Loyola Marymount, and South Florida.

I also learned today that the CBI final is best-of-three! I've never seen a college basketball series to decide a tournament winner.

Mr. Nielsen · « **Reply #1466 on:** March 26, 2019, 05:41:20 PM »

Coastal Carolina beat West Virginia 109-91 in the second round. CC lead at one point 94-69 with 7 minutes left.

West Virginia allowed its most points at home in program history, topping 107 by Notre Dame in 1971.

Herman Cain · « **Reply #1467 on:** March 26, 2019, 05:43:13 PM »

It is too bad the students are on break this week. Hopefully DePaul can win the semi final and the students can make it back for the final series.

Creighton gets blown out in the second half by TCU. 71-58. DePaul is our last Big East team playing.

Creighton should be a solid team next year . I like how freshman Christian Bishop played at the end of the year. Don't know if Krampelj will use his last year of eligibility.

Mr. Nielsen · « **Reply #1473 on:** March 27, 2019, 08:57:00 PM »

DePaul will move on to best of 3 series in CBI. 92-87 over Coastal Carolina. Will play LMU or USF.

dpu70 · « **Reply #1474 on:** March 27, 2019, 09:05:10 PM »

DePaul plays Monday at the winner's, LMU or S Fla, then Wednesday at Home, and Friday, if necessary, also at home.
