Outside of the St. John’s upset yesterday, this has been one of the more uneventful tournaments in recent memory. There aren’t any real Cinderella’s left unless Colorado State or New Mexico win. Arkansas is the lowest seed through to the Sweet 16 but they are from a power conference. Also, no buzzer beaters. Gonzaga had an opportunity but failed miserably.

It’s been the most disappointing (in terms of exciting, quality games and upsets) that i remember. Just really dull so far….

It is an inferior tournament in a second tier sport.

Long live College baseball!

Go Big Orange.

I haven't been watching any of them. Only the TN Vols matter to me.

I get it. It’s the only time that I watch anyone other than the Vols myself and I only tune in late when they’re close games or big upsets are brewing. That hasn’t happened much this year.

Side note with Chaz, everything I’ve read suggests that he would’ve been a vol from the beginning if he had been viewed as a better prospect. The guy worked his way up and chose to decline more lucrative offers and wear orange. The guy’s a VFL in my book, even if he’s not in the Chris Lofton wing.

Agreed. He’s definitely a VFL. Lanier is hard not to love. Lofton is just a Hall of Famer VFL!

Dang. That exactly right. The rich get richer and gone are the days of mid majors with studs like Knecht or Lanier. I fear college sports will lose its luster.

That could be, but also I’m fine with not losing to the Illinois-Chicagos of the world! 😁 Upsets are fun, but they can also diminish the later rounds when Cinderellas often (although not always) get slaughtered by 1 seeds.
