That's a Buff win by proxy. Oh, I can't wait to hear the whining, the justifications, etc. They are the BB Nubs of the Pac.

Also, brackets on ESPN are a complete joke.
There are ~800,000 perfect brackets left.
No one cares if you write a bot that creates every bracket outcome possible.
Edit: Apparently they are just stupid slow at updating that page.
Nonetheless, 35k people getting both Furman and Princeton right, without another upset pick, is absurd, and still probably just bots.

We should be recruiting a stud Big from one of these small school teams for next year.

That chant is ALMOST as obnoxious as the "tomahawk" chant by the Noles and Braves fans.

Got some decent coin on ORU +6.5Oral Roberts is next.
Exactly. We need much better guard play. Bigs are not the issue. I'm continually blown away that any Buffs fan thinks that what the program needs is to add another big for next season.
Did Oral Roberts even get off the plane? WTF?
Can't win in the tournament if you don't make the tournament.
Can't make the tournament if you lose more conference games than you win - or even.
Can't beat the teams with 2-3-4 bigs if you only have 1 and no one else even close.
Lose 2-3 wings, get another big AND another USABLE guard, who can SCORE.
It's no coincidence that in general when we have had an effective true PG we have had good seasons.
Despite the injuries and some weaknesses I think this years CU team would be a 22 win team if we had Kin (from any of his years) running the team.
That's just wrong if we're talking about this century since 3pt shooting has taken over.
4 is about the max number of players you want on your roster who are taller than 6'7" unless some of them can play guard.
Problem with our guard play, including Kin, is that our primary ball handlers haven't been able to shoot.
The pained look on the Zona fans faces when Princetion took its first lead right until the end of the game were more than enough to feed my schadenfreude.

Unfortunately, I felt Duke was actually poised for a big run coming into the tournament. Guys have improved, mainly Lively. Whitehead's at full health.Oral Roberts is next.
If it weren't for Scheyer (sp?) Duke would barely be hateable anymore. No one sticks around for more than a year now, so you can't grow to hate their players.
Why do AZ, UCLA, U$C, Ore keep beating us with 3-4 guys who are 6'9" + ? Tubelis, ballo, Bona, Etienne, Dante, Ware, Bittle - none of these have guard level skills.
Why can't we run 2 legit bigs AND more actual guards? We can lose some wings. I know Tad loves them, but FFS it isn't working.

Or they're capable 3 point shooters. We could conceivably have 4 guys in the starting lineup next year who are 6'8 or taller, but three of them have small forward skill sets and one is the #1 recruit in the country.
But...like you said...4 players over 6'8", we'll likely only play one guy besides those 4 taller than 6''6"

Weird argument to be making when Oregon isn't in the tournament, UA just lost, and one of the reasons they lost is because they were overly reliant on those bigs, and neither can shoot from 3.
They were definitely under seeded.
I loved listening to the steadily more desperate u of a chants. You could hear their fear and sadness.
