    Guys, it's ok.



    The committee meant University of Alabama...not University of Alabama-Birmingham.


    This was a typo that CBS misread during the bracket reveal and the committee took the "ahh **** it whatever" approach and didn't correct them.

    Lesson learned.

      As an alum of UNCA, I'm extremely proud of the way the guys played tonight. UALR was hitting everything early and had me worried, but I love how patient Dickey was until the end of the 2nd half and he took over. Him and Primm in the backcourt are a great combo and compliment each other well. While I don't think we have a chance at all with Pitt, it'll be fun to watch them one more time on national TV. UNCA did play Carolina, Ohio State, and Georgetown this year so they won't be intimidated by Pitt, but Dickey and Primm will probably both have to pull a Stephen Curry-like performance to have a chance at keeping the game close for more than the first 10 minutes.

      Either way, I'm proud of the boys and hopefully John Williams (#23) will do something insanely athletic and leave a mark on the game. He had a pretty solid game tonight, even hitting some long jumpshots which is not part of his game, but I don't think he had any blocks (led the Big South this year) and his only "showtime" dunk came after the final buzzer and didn't count.

      Also, someone mentioned the black unis... I'm in agreement, I didn't like them either. Their road blue unis are pretty nice and they should've stuck with those, but I understand that they wanted something new for the tourney.

        LOL, I applied to UConn and had Central Connecticut as my safety school. My freshman year UConn didn't even make the NIT, and Central made the tournament and played against Greg Oden's Ohio State team in the first round.

            The SWAC is awful, even by their normal standards, this year. This doesn't surprise me at all. I think the team with the best record in the SWAC before conference play started had 4 wins.

              Uh oh.... Watch out..... UTSA might give Ohio State a scare.....
              Why are they suddenly playing like this? They looked awful in the Southland championship game.

                You're putting far too much stock into this game, Alabama State isn't a very good team so it isn't all that surprising UTSA is taking it to them.

                NBA- Boston Celtics
                NHL- Chicago Blackhawks

                    I'm not saying they'll beat Ohio State, just saying that they might come out and punch 'em in the mouth for the first 5 minutes or so.

                    Still think the best shot at a 16-1 upset this year is UNC-Asheville against Pitt, despite being undersized.

                      Only reason I still am is to see if Johnson can outscore ASU by himself.

                      21 points in just 16 minutes.

                        That could happen, still think you're crazy if you think Asheville actually has a shot against Pitt, Pitt may let them hang around for a little but it'll be a 20 point game before its all said and done.

                        *Edit - Let me add that I'd love to see it happen, can't wait til it eventually does, just don't think Pitt will be the team to let it happen.

                          This game's totally worthless.

                            Yeah it probably will be over by halftime, but I don't trust the talent on Pitt. They just don't have the same type of McDonald All American caliber players that the other 1 seeds have. And that backcourt of Asheville is decent, especially Primm.

                            Asheville's gotta stop Gibbs from going off. They can stick in there as long as Gibbs isn't hitting those big 3's and doing whatever he wants.

                                Melvin Johnson III is sick. 25 points at the half.

                                And the Greek with the three!
