Made this topic as I was changing my bracket to Iona over Marquette.


This game (BYU-Iona) is ridiculous. Iona is Destroying them

Indeed.

I go to BYU, but I'm from Tallahassee and am a die hard FSU fan. I really didn't think BYU deserved it this year. They aren't that great.


This allows me to enjoy Iona looking good.

I read the dumbest article in my school paper today. It talked about how dumb it was that there are automatic bids. Saying that Washington should have made the tournament (despite suckin toward the end) but since Oregon State beat them once in the tourney and not either of the two times during the season, their season is over. Funny that the best team rarely wins the whole tournament anyway...

The conference gets to choose how to distribute their automatic bid anyway. If the Pac-12 wanted to give their bid to their regular season Champion and not do a tournament (like the Ivy League), they are free to.

We have the biggest come back ever when we came back from 31 in the second half against LSU on Mardi GRAS, but I have no idea what the tournament come back record is. But it can't be that different from 25, again, since the all time is 31.

What are you talking about? Iona pulled a Mississippi Valley State!

I mean yeah Iona's lead maxed out a bit larger, 25 vs. 16 for the Delta Devils, but Iona started collapsing earlier; their largest lead of the second half was 18 points and that was with close to 15 minutes left. MVSU led 53-37 with 5 minutes left in the game and then allowed the Hilltoppers to outscore them 15-0 over the following three minutes to cut the lead to 1 and ended up losing 59-58.

Seriously, you've got to watch both games.

It doesn't have to do with ROOTING against your team, it has to do with the fact that your team is going to get shcelacked almost assuredly on Thursday, so yeah, if you want us to go down in the second round (less than a 1% chance) I would start repping the Cyclones.

Go Cyclones! Pull a UNI and take out the #1 overall seed in a huge round 2 upset thereby destroying my entire bracket because I put said #1 seed to win it all!

Then it will be the Hawkeyes turn to do it next.
