    Probably because the Cleveland State is ROLLING~!

      Siena vs Ohio State was not the game of the year. It was exciting because of the two big shots at the end of each overtime, though. It was a sloppy game with 40 combined turnovers. Siena shot 33% but made every clutch shot when they needed to. Ohio State made 74% of their free throws but missed three of four that would have clinched the game in regulation. Siena dominated the boards and had 21 offensive rebounds. Ohio State should be ashamed with a size difference and still getting out-rebounded by 18.

        I've come to the conclusion that Thad Matta is not a good basketball coach. Good recruiter, yeah, not impressed with his coaching ability.

            I would say that's a pretty good analysis.

            He fits in perfectly at Ohio State. He can recruit, but if you ask him to coach up said talent, you're going to be disappointed.

            But if he keeps pulling in the same talent, I won't have any problems. OSU Basketball is always going to be second fiddle, unfortunately.

              Putting the blame on the coaching may have merit. But Skip couldn't coach defense either.

                Not sure if these are 100% accurate as I got them off another forum, but BCS Conference records so far.

                Big XII: 6-0
                Big East: 6-1
                Pac-10: 5-1
                Big Ten: 4-3
                ACC 3-4
                SEC: 1-2

                    BC is no more of an upset than Maryland beating BC.

                    FSU should have beat Wisconsin.

                    Wake, an upset. But @ the same time, no one is surprised. Everyone knew coming in Wake was flaky. They were 6-5 vs the bottom 6 of the ACC. 5-1 vs the top 5.

                    I thought Clemson got done wrong by the committee. They shouldn't have been seen as BC's equal, who was overrated. Then the Tigers got Michigan, the best of the double digit seeds, IMO.

                      Interesting bit of info on ESPN just now.

                      Since 1985, 40 times a 1 or 2 seed has won their 1st round game by 11 points of fewer. 15 times, that team has lost in the 2nd round. Only 9 of those 40 have reached the final four
                      and none of those have won the title.

                      Over the last 6 tournaments it has happened 10 times. 5 of those teams have lost in the second round.

                      That applies to Pitt and Memphis this year.

                        Day 3 set to begin.

                        Should be a good game between UCLA and Villanova. I've got the Bruins in my bracket, but not real confident in the pick.

                              I've got Nova in my Final Four so if they get knocked off here my bracket is officially cooked.

                              I'm not sure where I have them in my OS Pick 'em bracket since I didn't update it, but I think I've got them in the FF there as well.
