Wojo just watched his ticket out of Milwaukee go up in flames. Tough to see him getting considered for a better job than Marquette any time soon now. No way he saw himself in that job for 6-7 years.

Ugly day for the BE. At least Nova advanced.

Will the Seton Hall loss finally end our long national nightmare of hearing how we were "improved" at 9-9 in the Big East?

Different type of player, but Morant has that Curry at Davidson feel. Wouldn't want to get near playing them, especially since they can be treated like a Cinderella. And how in hell did this guy wind up at Murray State?! Same way Curry ended up at Davidson? And I did pick Murray State! Yeah I picked Murray State too because of Morant. This game had upset lock written all over it.

Ugly day for the BE. At least Nova advanced. Bad day for the Old BE too. Syracuse down. Louisville and Agau gone.

All the cinderella's are gone except Murray State.
I suppose you could consider Wofford a cinderella but they were the higher ranked team and possibly Minnesota even though they are power 5.
But I think the NET rankings are going to make this tournament really boring with just the big schools from the power 5 in the later rounds.

Will the Seton Hall loss finally end our long national nightmare of hearing how we were "improved" at 9-9 in the Big East? Why does everyone here discredit Wofford? Magee is the best shooter in college right now, and up there in history. They are well coached and are just excellent. Just because they're a mid-major doesn't mean they aren't good. They are incredible.

Watching Louisville play Minnesota I could have sworn Louisville was us. No defense, constantly trying to feed the post while Minnesota was out hustling them, grabbing rebounds and hitting 3's. And this is why picking these games is so befuddling. Minnesota was not a three point shooting team. They averaged 5 a game. Today they made 11. I picked Murray, but I didn't see that beatdown coming. I thought the game would be close. I hope Seton Hall does better tonight. Tell me, did Auburn really commit a foul on a three point shot with a two point lead and one second to play, and then see the NM State player miss two out of three - but then come away with the rebound on the second miss and have yet another shot at the win? Damn, Belmont. I wish they hadn't turned the ball over in the final 10 seconds. What's crazier is NM State dribble penetrate for a wide open layup to tie the game but instead of scoring he kicked it out to the 3pt shooter (who inexplicably was fouled). Then they missed 2 out of 3 free throws. I think you always take the 2pts and the tie in that situation but kids are so 3pt trigger happy now that they will give up a wide open layup to tie to kick it out for a 3pt shot.

They are incredible. They are hardly "incredible," but nothing I said "discounted" Wofford. The fact is that they are still Wofford, a #7 seed from the Southern conference that just beat a Big East tournament finalist handily. Good for them, and I won't hold their 25 point loss to Kansas against them. But the game, and the margin, still speaks to Big East strength this year. Tell me how, five years ago, you would've wished we'd be Wofford.

Paul White is the only remnant left and they might be done tomorrow. Agau/Louisivle, Copeland/Nebraska, Campbell/South Carolina all out of the big dance.

Well we could try "putting the Hoya's season in perspective" in place of "discrediting."

Tell me how, five years ago, you would've wished we'd be Wofford. You are discrediting Wofford just there by mentioning their big loss, which if I remember correctly they were in that game until like 5min left against sull strength Kansas. Also, it wasn't a blowout at all, Wofford just pulled away late. That team is very well coached and beat SC by 20 early this year and swept the SoCon, a top 6 conference this year. The best 7 seed this year beat a great team. It was a tie game with 6:45 left, that's not a blowout at all. If you watched that entire game you saw Hall played solid just Wofford is that good. 2pt game with 5 minutes left. 1pt game with 4:37 left. They won by a lot, but it wasn't reflective of the game. Wofford isn't going to be good next year, we should be better. Buffalo is a great team, but they must be terrible because they play in the MAC then right? If St. John's would've gotten to them and lost, the Big East must've been the worst conference in the NCAA, right? Because of them playing a good team, Georgetown didn't get better? It's disrespecting a team who could beat anyone in the big east.

Just imagine the country doesnt get to see that performance today if Murray State doesn't win their title game.

Interesting that Zac Ervin, Macs running mate at Gate City High committed to Wofford some time ago. I wonder who will see more NCAA tourney games in their careers between those two? It is cool that that little town produced two Div. 1 players in just two years.

The argument wouldn't be that Georgetown didn't get not get better because Wofford beat Seton Hall, it would be that Georgetown didn't get better because the analytics tell us they didn't get better. Worst defensive team in the history of the program, KenPom down 4 from last year. Worse analytics and better record = worse conference. Hoyasaxa2003 is not necessarily incorrect in calling this team the worst since 2004, because the numbers tell us that he may be right. And for those like you that would prefer the eye test, if Georgetown was improving, don't you think such improvement would have been seen at the end of the year, when in reality, 3 of the last 4 games were the worst games this team played all season.
