Today's Sweet Sixteen Matchups...

[jimmykc]

...are the least compelling I can recall in decades of watching the NCAA tournament. I suspect the coverage of the ancient nun will be the main focus of today's games.

Watch the women's games, especially the Caitlin Clark versus (not "verse" as Maria Taylor keeps saying) Paige Bueckers at noon. (Iowa versus Connecticut)

Michigan/Florida State is probably the top matchup for the day.

[Vinny]

Three double digit seeds trying to get to the Elite Eight today?! I feel compelled to watch!

[jimmykc]

Hold the popcorn, men. Gonzaga/Creighton and Michigan/Fla. St. are on Sunday.

Yeah it's a real snooze fest, but I'll be rooting for Oregon State today.

[jimmykc]

Ah yes, the beaver, my favorite rodent.

A very industrious animal

More compelling than last years games.

Let me guess...you don't see a 37-30 10:30 to go game very exciting for a Sweet 16 matchup

There is that!

avoiding the loyola game. but hoping the Beavers pull this one out. 

[49r]

Let's go Beavs!!!

I’m enjoying it because it basically signifies the end of blue blood NCAA basketball.  They’ll still exist, but there’s just no way it can happen like before. These teams are all loaded with transfers.   
 

Free agency is the best thing to ever happen to Nebrasketball.  We’re going to be the next Oregon State or whoever.  

 

If the image and likeness rules get passed, it will be an enormous advantage for us in addition to having the Transfer U coach running the show.

Which year?

[jimmykc]

I guess the nun didn't pray hard enough. Now I'm for Villanova because Baylor knocked us out the last time we went. And I like the cut of Jay Wright's jib.

It was tongue in cheek but this year. 

[Cazzie22]

Baylor cranked up the pressure in the 2nd half. 

[hskr4life]

Was really rooting for Oral Roberts earlier.

[jimmykc]

OK, new day. At least I have a couple of teams to root against (Creighton) and for (Michigan) today. Oh, and I don't particularly like Oregon or UCLA either, just for the record.

And ,lest we forget, Thursday will be opening day for MLB. I understand Hayden "Sidd" Finch will be on the mound for the Red Sox.

I can remember Rolando Blackmon on the cover of SI in those sweet lavender K-State Jerseys when they knocked off #1 Oregon St. & Coach Ralph Miller...

[jimmykc]

As this site's resident Forrest Gump, I am glad you mentioned the legendary Ralph Miller. I was actually present at Allen Fieldhouse to see a special playoff game his Wichita State team played against Drake for the Missouri Valley Conference championship in his final year of coaching at Wichita in 1964. I rooted for the great Shocker team that year who had Dave Stallworth and Nate Bowman and had seen them beat #1 rated Cincinnati at the Roundhouse. KU had,of course, sucked in 63-64, my last undergrad. year.
