And a guaranteed big name opponent.

Can't believe that the Big East got five teams into the tournament. Not so sure St John's is deserving but still good for the conference. And I love the setup for Akron in their bracket. Don't think they should be scared about playing anyone, I also think that Indiana is overrated and Bryant is underrated and I don't think Indiana makes the regional final which would have been sweet for a little revenge. Of course that's assuming that Akron also gets there.

And they did get seeded higher but only by one position. And they're on the opposite side of the bracket from us. I like that too. 😂

Jacobson looks a great deal like my niece.

True but that doesn't allow me to direct my hate as well. 😂

When he signed with them, their fan board described it as going from nobody cares U to Purdue. This is why I hate these schools.

I think that is past as well.

I forgot that their really good big man was somebody they stole from South Dakota State.

Absolutely getting hammered now. 😡

At this point I'm just rooting for us to outscore Alabama. 😂

It doesn't help that the Zips have not gotten a single rebound in the second half.

Oh my God they called a foul in Purdue.

Fouls 13 to 5, free throws 19 to 4.

Someone should let them know that he's a senior and the Purdue won't be able to steal him after this year.

Zips are playing tough. Awfully hard to battle against a team that's about a half a foot taller you at every position.

They made up for it. 😊

The Vermont and St. Louis finals went the way we needed them to. Hopefully enough for the Zips to get at a top 16 seed.

The announcers sounded stunned that they actually called a foul on Purdue.

We can't just keep jacking up threes as our entire offense.

Hate the way that Smith does the shot fake and then slams his body into the defender. I know it's a legitimate play, but I hate that we keep falling for it and I hate it in general. 😂

His first ever three. If this is an NCAA tournament game, it feels a little too scary like the one against Creighton.

Too many fouls.

There are some great games in there, you'd assume that in the first four where there are direct Zips opponents it would be best for them to win. Funny that the worst matchup of the day by RPI numbers is the Big Ten final.

Four teams fighting for the final three spots and the Zips are the odd team out with a loss to Toledo. They had an ok year finishing at .500 in conference and above .500 overall but still very frustrating as they beat every team that made the tournament except Miami and 17-1 Ball State. What killed them were a number of losses to teams that ended up below them in the standings including cellar-dwelling Kent State. 🤮

Kansas only beat Princeton by 19, bring 'em on! 😊
