Every time I've tuned into any college basketball game this calendar year and start rooting for someone, they immediately choke their lead away, so this is going to be a looooong tournament for me. Hope you like Kentucky taking it all or what the gently caress ever.

Awkward, seems like an easy way for Duke to win it all

Magic, you know what you must do.

You must cheer for Coach K to ride off into the sunset as a national champ as hard as you can.

Yup.

I do think that the Big XII is going to start doing better and better in the tournament as a whole because of how big a focus on defense there is league-wide. Even Kansas has started to play better defense. That generally leads to deeper tournament runs than offense-only teams (and is why, I think, that Kansas has such disappointing tournament appearances)

That's not how I see it. The Big XII has pretty good defense as a whole, but not great perimeter shooting, with the only great one I can think of in recent memory being Buddy Hield. Kansas can compete with most teams as long as they don't have three great perimeter shooters, but a lot of midmajors can't recruit post players and got where they are from the 3pt range, which Kansas struggles to stretch out to. Then Kansas tries to catch up through the outside and they've never been great from there, streaky at best, so they quickly look themselves out of the game. But Kansas gets lot of steals and stops from regular teams, though since Danny Manning left, they haven't gotten as quality post players and now get dominated by teams with deep big depth. I think the Big XII has been a bit better from long distance shooting, but I don't think defense is their great weakness, it's not like is in football.

Longwood hung around for a bit, but Tennessee is starting to pull away here. Too much defense and depth to handle. Longwood already has 7 turnovers.

I think any college team that relies on threes a lot is doomed long-term in the tournament. Eventually you're going to have an off night. Seems like solid big guys are what the good times always have. Size differences are just too big sometimes in college.

Yeah, the Pittsnogles and Hields that take rando teams deep are more and more rare and AFAIK have never really gone beyond F4.

I thought Michigan was dead in the water and then they rolled CSU in the 2nd half. Who knows what will happen here.

Oh I don’t think they’re gonna lose here but people went all in on them beating Kansas and Wisconsin/Auburn just because it’s kind of a weak slate and they had a good Big Ten Tournament so it’s funny to see them struggle to separate from their first round opponent

"Struggles to get past their first round opponent" and "can easily blow by Kansas" aren't mutually exclusive concepts though.
