Good question. What a joke!! Some people think that the Cyclones don't deserve a 4 seed, but their losses were all really close and every single loss was to teams who are in the tournament.

Not really. The Pac 12 is pretty weak. They didn't have a very tough schedule at all.

Cyclones great win yesterday!!

Well thats not happening ...lets just give the trophy to KU .. huh

Michigan State losing could be very good for Iowa State if we can keep winning. Big game against Little Rock in a couple hours.

by ophion1031 March 19th 2016, 5:14 pm

CYCLONES!!!!!

by Rocketman March 19th 2016, 8:20 pm

I can't believe Utah lost so badly to Gonzaga.

Texas Tech over Butler on a buzzer beater
Arkansas Little Rock over Purdue (only because I don't want ISU to face Purdue)
Iowa State over Iona
Seton Hall over Gonzaga (this could be a really good one)
Utah over Fresno State
Dayton over Syracuse (how did those cheating Orange bastards get in? I thought they were on suspension)
Michigan State over Mid Tennessee

Had to edit a few times and fix the spelling mistakes. God damn cell phones!

Good call on the UNI over Texas and Arkansas Little Rock over Purdue.

Kansas will win the title. I think it will be them and North Carolina in the title game.

by Don Pseuym March 20th 2016, 8:02 am

KU has there best team in years IMO almost Like they could put on the court two 1st or 2nd ranked teams I think a sportscaster stated it too, so if one isnt on fire switch
But the last half of Uconn not so great
Gonzaga used to be a problem to beat

by Dunderhead99 March 20th 2016, 9:30 pm

Anyone see Texas A&M vs Northen Iowa tonight? What a game! I can't believe A&M pulled it off.

Best game of the tourney so far.

Congrats to Maryland for making the Sweet 16.

by Rocketman March 21st 2016, 12:08 am

Sweet 16 is all set.

http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/basketball-men/d1

South
Kansas vs Maryland
Miami vs Villanova

West
Oregon vs Duke
Texas A&M vs Oklahoma

East
North Carolina vs Indiana
Notre Dame vs Wisconsin

Midwest
Virginia vs Iowa State
Gonzaga vs Syracuse

My picks are in bold

Elite 8 I say Kansas over Villanova, Duke over Oklahoma, North Carolina over Notre Dame and Iowa State over Gonzaga.

Final Four Kansas over Duke and North Carolina over Iowa State. Kansas over North Carolina in the championship game.

by ophion1031 March 21st 2016, 1:59 am

I actually have a very good feeling about Iowa State beating Virginia and then I think they could get by Syracuse fairly easy, but Gonzaga could give them some problems on the inside. A Final Four run would be amazing!!

Wish I could have seen the game. I checked the score on my phone and saw they had the game won so I closed the ESPN app and left for work. When I got to work they were in double OT. Not sure what happened, but that was a big time choke job.

by Rocketman March 21st 2016, 3:31 pm

You missed out on a good one. I watched the 2nd half. I can't believe Northern Iowa blew it, they had it won.

Yeah, no kidding. I saw the highlights. But they will be back next year. Ben Jacobson (Jacobsen? Not sure how to spell his last name) is a hell of a coach.

by Rocketman March 23rd 2016, 1:31 pm

Jacobsen is really good and has got his mid major team into the tourney multiple times in the last decade.

Indeed. I always hate when UNI plays Iowa State. Hope we get revenge on the this fall on the football field.

by Rocketman March 25th 2016, 8:04 am

Duke gone! 2 big 12 teams in the elite 8 Isu could make it 3.

by Don Pseuym March 26th 2016, 11:54 am

I am hoping villanova got all those good shots out of their system
KU vs Villanova is said to be the best game of the tournament

by Dunderhead99 March 26th 2016, 2:25 pm

Villanova and Virginia look like the two most impressive teams to me. KU would be third.

by ophion1031 March 26th 2016, 8:05 pm

Bye bye Kansas!!! Glad Oklahoma made the Final Four. Oklahoma vs Virginia in the championship game would be awesome.
