I’m guessing the opposite, with San Diego State in the pod, my guess is MU is playing Thursday afternoon or morning.

Nothing worse than losing an early Thursday game and just imploding your interest in the next couple days of hoops.

Ah, but that I4/ND matchup is TV gold. Who gives a crap about stats and the "science of metrics". X got screwed big time, just glad it wasn't us.

I'd say Texas A&M or Oklahoma got a lot more screwed than Xavier. Not sure why Rutgers got a bid from the 9 bid Big 10 either.

Obviously the matchup isn’t great with regards to their bigs, but my instant thought was that with how thin UNC plays this might be the perfect full court press/havoc style game for Shaka.

Game plan it and come out up tempo both defensively and offensively and turn it into a track meet and hope for the best. If UNC goes down they will chuck up more jumpers trying to get back

Hopefully coming in as the underdog helps us focus.

UW as the Top 3 is shocking to me.

I ran the KenPom numbers for the top 10 seeds of each region and the Midwest is 310. The West is 220, South 201 and East 185 (thanks, MUBB).

That’s a staggering amount of blah in the Midwest.

This is 100% true.

UNC sucked for much of the season but finished strong. We’re gonna get killed on the boards, so I hope we’re shooting great.

TBS get the FF and championship game? WTF

Whisky's blah teams draw is egregious.

Everyone kills us on the boards.

I like the match up. UNC looked like an 11 seed to me.

The positive about a team like UNC is that while they have the size advantage and all around talent to smash us. They are also the exact type of team that at any point could have a total clunker(similar to our game at them last year)

I don’t think they can beat Kansas or Auburn should they get that far, so if you’re a hater, I wouldn’t worry.

Everyone makes a big deal out of playing in Milwaukee but they lost there in 2004 against Pitt

Congratulations to the Marquette team for making the NCAA tourney.
Best of luck against UNC.

Well the fact that they were the top #3 seed is laughable. A higher overall seed than Tennessee? That's beyond ridiculous.

Yea… UNC finished really well.

Kicked Duke’s A$$ in Cameron

Gonna be a very short stay for MU.

Tom Brady back to Tampa.

Madison’s practically getting a pass into the S16. I like to think you’re right about little chance vs Auburn, though.

X made their own bed going 7-11 and then losing to Butler in NYC. They have a better resume than ND, but they screwed themselves.

Then why all the hype on SOS, Q1 wins/losses and NET rank? Does not pass the smell test. I guess those metrics mean squat if you're not a P5 school like ND, Indiana or Rutgers.
