Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
Yeah I can't see any of these teams seriously threatening. In theory Florida could get hot from three, but I feel like we've been saying that for four months now. West Virginia is always tough with how physical they are. Haven't watched a lot of Purdue but they have good balance. It's a pretty easy pick to put Nova in the FF.
Collin Sexton is the tournament's first weekend star. Bye Nova.
Don't sleep on Purdue.
I'm picking Texas Tech to win the East. Why? I expect more than one #1 seed will not win their regional and make the final four. I'm beating it is two. I have a gut feeling Villanova will be one of the two; moreover, I was not impressed with Purdue the couple of times I saw them play this season so I am defaulting to the #3 seed Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Va Tech got screwed, at least a bit, by a charge call on Robinson instead of an and-1 that would've brought them to within one point in the last two minutes of the game. To top it off, the foul was Robinson's fifth, and then Buzz got a technical.
Ball game.
Didn't help that with about four minutes left in the half, Tech had more turnovers than field goals. And Sexton suddenly becomes Allen Iverson in the last few minutes of every close game.
Rough first day for the ACC. Duke was the only team to advance, while Miami, Va Tech, and NC State were all sent home.
I thought it was a close call that could have gone either way. But I also think what Buzz was upset about was that before the block/charge happened, an Alabama player appeared to foul Robinson swiping at his arm while he was driving to the basket. If the ref makes that call then the block/charge never even happens and VT is shooting free throws.
Objectively speaking it was a really exciting game though!
Well that was a "Shocker" in San Diego
Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.
You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
Purdue's Haas out for season with broken elbow suffered today. SUCKS for Purdue. I genuinely believe they had a GREAT shot at winning a title. Really had all the pieces, except for a lot of tournament experience. Great shooting, great size inside, great rebounding and defense. Quite a blow.
