    It was just a matter of when St. Johns would meet a team they could not overwhelm athletically. Their offense is painful and just doesn't have nearly enough skill.

    RJ Luis today reminds me of what Dillon Brooks was for Oregon his last 2 years when he failed badly in both games they lost in the NCAA tournament.

    UConn was very close to an upset over Florida, let it slip away..

    If the game was only 37 minutes long....

    Also, #1 seeds getting 2nd round matchups with UConn, Creighton, Gonzaga and Baylor is a rough draw.

    as much as i dislike baylor, the refs are mad favoring Duke.

    must be nice to be a respected #1 seed.

    I noticed this as well. I hope UH gets a fair game with them in the Final Four, should it happen.

    Duke made short work of Baylor. Wasn't even competitive.

    Illinois has a couple of Euros with some pretty serious game.

    The big PG, Jakucionis, is very intriguing for us.

    I guess they don't call a travel anymore. He took 4 steps to get open.

    Where?

    eta: upon further review, he took only 4 steps. That's legal, right?

    So far, "seems" like fewer upsets than most years.

    Yes and the first weekend seemed more boring and less dramatic than previous years. Hopefully next weekend is much better.

    I think Arizona could surprise Duke. Any thoughts?
