Our half of the bracket is easier than Wiksy's IMO.

UCLA being in is a joke. Still can't believe it.

We are the best team in our region. Play hard, don't get bent by the refs, and we're in the F4.

Well, the least we can say is this could be a nice revenge tour for Coach Miller. Payback for that heartbreaker a few years ago against OSU (thanks Jerrett), and for the wisky game last year. Wisky is the one team I prob wanted to avoid because they just don't make mistakes but if we play up to how we've been we can def beat them.

Exactly.

I also agree that Wisconsin has a tougher road than Arizona as far as trap games. If Oregon gets hot from outside they can take em

So we would've been a 2 even if MSU hadn't choked.

We weren't ending in UKs bracket in any case so the only thing to avoid was Wisky and there were probably a half dozen ways we could have avoided them and none of those came to pass.

Nope, they make the one bad scenario occur.

So how is Oregon an 8 seed when Utah is a 5 seed? I know the Cats had their way with Oregon but one would think that Oregon was playing better (sans the game(s) against the Cats) down the stretch than Utah. Utah may be over seeded and Oregon under seeded IMO. And UCLA shouldn't have been in (although I like having another Pac-12 team in).

So UCLA got in because they played us well. And here I thought winning games was important.

This reminds me of SHB's post about luck playing a big part in winning nc's. We were granted no such luck unless wisky loses to a lower seed. We shall see but this looks like a rough road. Maybe Bash can continue to shoot 70% and we will beat them anyway.

Why is everyone so afraid of Wisconsin? Almost beat them last year without Ashley.

Nick choked end of game, TJ won't do that. RHJ has really stepped up his defense.

Ashley and Johnson are playing really well.

Tarc's defense has also improved quite a bit.

I don't get all the fear of Wisconsin. We're a better team than the one that played them last year. The issue was scoring, and we can do that this year.

why was ucla even in the tourney?

why was kansas a fucking 2 seed?!

fuck em all, let's just go beat whoever is in front of us.
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

VCU hasn't looked that great lately with the injuries they have suffered. I don't know if they even get past Ohio State.

Committee is basically saying play a hard schedule, doesn't matter if you win or lose.
