It would be magical to not only have the first 16 seed upset, but have one of the teams that pulled an upset in their own conference tourney do it.

Isn't that most 16 seeds though? Like no matter how bad your conference is it seems like you'll be at least a 14 or so if you win the regular season & conference tournament.

I haven't actually looked into this so I could be terribly wrong.

Mike Daum pretty much looks like he subsists entirely on Taco John's and dip, so he's essentially the perfect South Dakota St player

Nah, four of the six 16 seeds this year won the regular season title too.

Pretty much unless you're in like the SWAC. 16s are usually teams that stole the lone bid from awful leagues

Great game. Holy hell, what a shot by Shayok at the end there though, monster game from him.

If Gonzaga keeps playing like they've been playing and Mike Daum plays like he usually does I think Jacks are still in this.

Gonzaga's had a bunch of close games with bad teams at the half that they broke open in the second and won by like 30

It would be really hilarious if Gonzaga is the first 1 seed to lose to a 16

The dream will probably die in the second half but a man can dream.

That was a hell of a game, I think UNCW would have had a better chance beating any other of the 5 seeds, where they could've gotten out and run more.


edit: thinking Bucknell-WV might be the game of the round, I hate they were drawn together as otherwise I think they could both make runs.

it might not be this year, but the first 1 to lose to a 16 will almost definitely be Gonzaga

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Normally I don't get superstitious, and I know stats and all that, but I hate seeing two 5 seeds win already. Makes me feel like ISU has a bigger chance of losing their 5/12 game. Hopefully MTSU wins to keep the streak alive and it's not ISU.

Yeah and it seems like every year a one will struggle for a half and then end up winning by 20.

If SD State was going to win the game, they needed to do a lot better to take advantage of Gonzaga being a mess in the 1st. I know SD State uses a lot of depth but I just don't can't believe Gonzaga will come back out and stumble like that again.
