How did Bradley get a game so close to home as a 15 seed?

Don't forget Cincinnati as a 7 in Columbus...which comes even more into effect if they win first game.

Iowa knocks out Cincinnati. 6 or 7 years in a row UC can't make it to the 2nd weekend.

I expect they will come back, but if they don't, how will that affect the Bennett love?     The guy who made history twice?

If Virginia loses this game, and the hysterical scoopers here are consistent, then everyone here should expect Virginia to immediately fire Bennett and not even offer him a ride back home.

Not according to the fine minds on this board with less than 100 posts.  They think college basketball has a five month pre-season.  Bennett would end 2018-2019  at 0-1 for the second year in a row and need to be fired.

See nothing else matters except for tourney wins.

If you lose to a 16 seed 2 years in a row and are the only team in the history of the tournament to lose to a 16, Yes he should get fired and probably will.

Who do you replace him with? What coach do you hire that would do better at Virginia?

Is it mathematically possible to only play double digit seeds to the championship? If so, it would happen to them.

 When they made the FF didn't they play multiple double digit seeds or was that a different year?

One of my managers went to Colgate, she is beaming right now.

Does Wojo have a 90% winning percentage playing in one of the best 2 conferences in basketball the last few years?  Not exactly an apples to apples comparison.

Anyone see the "player in a vulnerable position" foul called on Matt McQuaid of Michigan State? Refs called it a Flagrant 1....though I have to admit, it was even softer than the call on Theo

They’ve been calling that kind of play a Flagrant 1 in the NBA lately, I don’t agree necessarily given how easy it is to accidentally get in that position defending a shot.

EVERY freaking year...I swear it's every year whatever bracket they are in...it blows up..It really pisses me off.
