NCAA Tournament General Thread

It'd be great if loss #2 comes later tonight but UNC is obviously a big favorite in that game. And tomorrow ND and Syracuse go up against a 14 and 15 seed, respectively.

Would love if "good" Providence showed up tonight. Jekyll and Hyde team. Providence faced UNC in the tournament two years ago. Josh Fortune did his disappearing act
 
The story of the NCAA B-Ball in the West is not a good one this year.

At this point, the entire left half of the country is represented by:
1 Oregon
3 Utah
11 Gonzaga
13 Hawaii

No teams invited or remaining from California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, Nebraska, or Alaska.

Utah in trouble right now. Hawaii will have all they can handle vs 5 Maryland.

The networks can't be happy with the lack of inventory out west before the S16. Yuck.
 
Blowout city. Can't say I mind Utah getting flattened, but this is an embarrassment for the Pac. The conference will drop to 2-6. Starting to look like the league was grossly overrated. Win yourself a few key early OOC games and your RPI is set...
 
Remember when the 10th place Pac team beat Gonzaga? Yeah, things are weird like that. Really hard to judge conferences by the (1 and done) tournament, even though lots do it. That being said, the ACC has really impressed so far this weekend.

Kansas, Oklahoma? They're right below Nebraska...but if you consider MST and PST zones it's pretty barren.

W/L in head-to-head competition is the best tool that we have. Anything can happen in an individual game, and I agree at that some of the seeds and matchups were real headscratchers that didn't always favor our conference. Having said that, our record in the tournament is a trend that I think can fairly be considered statistically significant.

I view it as as good of a time as any. We judge on games in November (that's how the Pac ended up with 7 teams). Seems neutral courts in March would be the best time. Of course nothing is perfect, though
 
Major fan exit at Pepsi Center 6:51, Utah down 25. Gonzaga fan support at least double that of Utah, or maybe it just seems like it since Utes have had little to cheer.

I don't disagree with most of what you say here. The trend is admittedly concerning and discouraging, but less than ten games is definitely not statistically significant.

As bad as the P12 is doing, at least it's not the MWC.

Not in a "one and done" situation, that's just silly. Zags shoot what, 68% from the floor tonight? Think they'll do that next game?
Think Mid Tenn. State beats MSU ever again? Or Yale over ****Baylor? Is mediocrely talented KU 24 better than UCONN the 1st half every night?

What standard do you recommend? Why is our conference on the wrong side of so many of these? I'm not talking about one game.
 
What exactly do some of you expect? 7 game series consisting of hundreds, if not thousands of games? The Pac12 has been abysmal. The NCAA Tournament is the best gauge we have. You can find a flaw in anything, but at the end of the day the Pac12 appears to have been a bit overinflated due to a few nice early OOC wins
