lol, ok. With Zion y’all barely won on a horrible Carolina shooting night.

Still, no surprise to see a Tony Bennett team crack under pressure. Made the day a wash in my eyes.

Well, UMBC won't be a problem this year at least.

Tennessee Kentucky

WI, MSU

Duke FSU I guess

Florida Auburn would really only be relevant for the SEC tournament but it’s a good game so far

Big 12 Championship game, ISU vs Kansas. Neither team will be a 1 or 2 seed in the NCAA tournament though.

The biggest major conference game today is the ACC Tournament final, where Duke is pretty certain a 1 seed in the tournament if they can beat Florida State. The Kentucky-Tennessee game is also big, it's only a semifinal but whoever wins will be favored in the SEC final tomorrow, and could get a 1 seed by winning that tournament.

In the smaller conferences, any game that's a final is worth watching, especially any one that's within a couple possessions late, because generally those teams only get into the NCAA tournament by winning their conference one, so there's a lot on the line.

Counterpoint: Vermont is pretty good and will make some 4-seed miserable, probably one of the Kansases

Houston-Memphis in the AAC semifinal, Houston has been the class of the conference all year but Memphis is at home and basically have to win the conf. tournament to make the NCAA tourney

In much more exciting and terrifying news, my son was born at 3 am today, but he’s 7 weeks early so I get to spend the next several weeks visiting the NICU. Everyone is healthy though so that’s good. Cyclones gave me a good topper to a crazy day already.

I've watched 2-3 Washington games this season and they haven't looked good in any of them. Is the Pac-12 that bad that they were the #1 seed? Or have they had someone key knocked by injury late in the season?

The Pac-12 is absolutely that bad. The conference is total loving garbage.

They're so bad Washington's bus caught fire on the 45 minute drive from Auburn to Montgomery after we kicked the poo poo out of them.

What Kentucky fans have learned, from the years and years of experience we have winning SEC tournament titles, is that you wear the other team's colors when buying tickets on the street. This avoids the price gouging opposing fans usually give Kentucky fans who are trying to get in the later games.
