The Big12 is 0-1 head-to-head vs the SEC, so far. And that was an #8 vs. #9 - virtually an even match-up...

... all else is noise.

Damn!! Round-of-64 brain overload!! (And, I watched most of that very game!!!)

My tournament summary after round 1

Serious separation from top of half the field to the bottom

Mostly blowouts and only 5 double digit teams advanced.

I predict hardly any teams over a 6 seed to get to sweet 16

Big 3 Conferences are dominating- 69% of field of 32 come from these 3 conferences/ expect that number to be even higher in sweet 16

Might be somewhat boring this week but I expect next week to be really really good

Posted: **Sat Mar 22, 2025 9:21 am**

Game time for the Arizona vs. Oregon game is 6:30 pm PST (also 6:30 in AZ) on TBS

This is an after effect of NIL/Transfer portal.

Prior to the Portal/NIL few players from the smaller/cinderalla teams would transfer during their careers. They would have to sit out a year and there was no financial incentive. Now if a smaller school has a player develop/blow-up they can transfer immediately and get paid.

This results in the rich getting richer and the poor (smaller schools) getting poorer. This will inevitably lead to fewer and fewer upsets in future NCAA tournaments.

Posted: **Sat Mar 22, 2025 9:51 am**

Agree dmj- this does seem to be the current pattern… but everything goes in cycles… it will be interesting to see how long this lasts

Posted: **Sat Mar 22, 2025 10:17 am**

Well, last year a quarter of the first round games were won by double digit seeds.

Posted: **Sat Mar 22, 2025 10:21 am**

I imagine UA will pick up a couple of mid-major players, although the results last time were less than impressive with Townsend and ADO.

Oakland won 8 less games without Townsend and missed the tourney. Campbell had about the same losing record with and without ADO.

You sure did call that. Hope the 2nd half resembles the first since no other games are on right now.

Rooting for the Johnnies. Been a tough game to call as the refs are making it choppy with all those whistles. Both teams playing extremely hard

There is some horrendous shooting in this game but a lot of passion.

Going down to the wire.

Johnnie are shooting 28% today. You're not going to win many games shooting that poorly
