The Ducks should have beat them.
Tennessee only has one worry, their coach. Dude LOVES not winning games he should in the tourny.
UCONN looks to be unstoppable.but I agree UCONN for the overall 1 had the toughest bracket IMO.
not a lot of love lost in "farmageddon" these days. good job by brad last night.
Could you imagine a Purdue vs Illinois final ? 🤣🤣
i have purdue in my final 4 - winning it all. illiniois is best equipped with speed, shooting and moxie to give uconn a run. houston is my fourth. looks like big east, sec, b10, b12 all represented in the finals because i don't believe illini get it done v. huskies. uofa blew my f4 bracket last night.

If the Illini win tomorrow they are winning it all.
But that is a tall task. The good news is that Uconn doesn't have anyone that guard Hawkins on the perimeter, the bad news is Uconn has 5 dudes that can all score.
While I think Uconn beats the Illini, I do think we’ll get a good game here. Uconn has played Stetson, NW and San Diego St so far, haven’t really had a decent test yet. We’ll see, it’s extremely hard to repeat in the big dance
That is what I have in my ESPN bracket with lllinois winning it all!
Anyway...like Purdue, Duke, and Creighton to get the Ws tonight.
Illini might have advantages at two spots. Shannon of course and maybe Hawkins because they don't have a big that can guard him on the perimeter.
In the end though, Uconn wins by 10+ to give the Illini their only double digit loss of the season.
I just realized. I'm not watching any of these games. Going to turn on the Purdue game while I work out.
Refs pretty much letting Edey lay over people and romp around at free will.
Purdue finally has some Guards that can take on the pressure and carry the scoring load. Gonzaga was full out that first half, and are down by 4.
First 5 to 6 minutes gonna be crucial in this one in the 2nd half. Does Gonzaga have enough gas left, and enough fouls left in the paint to keep Edey in check?

There's always time for that, but I'm really talking about a workout. Going to hit my treadmill and get a cardio in.
Remember when you first start? And like...all you want is for your parents to leave the freaking house so that you can treat your body like an amusement park???
Or was that just me?
Apparently not. Purdue moves on . Hopefully they make the Final 4 because they would beat Creighton than if they win tonight: I have always liked Painter : He gave Fred and Nebraska all the credit when we beat them.Didn’t make one single excuse like most coaches do in that situation.
Not many, if any, 'fast' teams left to be a pesky opponent for Purdue.
They got the best bracket of any #1 seed and are taking great advantage this time around.
Now I may have to jump off a 10 story building after wagering on Duke and Creighton.
Creighton getting somewhat used to the speed of Tennessee, but Ziegler is still a pest.
Keep it to a possession by possession game into the 2nd half, and Creighton has to like their chances.
Duke/Houston game they'll be putting up peach baskets for the 2nd half.

Ruh roh.
Tennessee ups the defensive pressure realizing the Jays have nobody that can beat them off the dribble.
Omaha's finest gonna need a lot more screening and the Aurora kid to score a lot.
No shame in being one of the last 10 teams playing in late March. Better to lose like this than on a last second foul call. Creighton has to take a step back next few years unless they get some big time transfers. Bummer
Just a lot more athletic and quicker.
Knecht really isn't all that much of a factor as much as Creighton has to start their offense from the logo for 8 to 10 seconds each shot clock under pressure that they aren't dealing with well at all.
Vols without their starting PG and they win by any # they want to pick...
By Jays...and get ready for how lame you will be next year.
Easy money today was that weird dude from Tenn over 20 points.
