That seems to be what this Iowa State team does.  It gets behind by double digits and then turns it on and wins. That is the fifth straight game they have done this.

So Texas made it in.  You were right Spicey.

Butler sans Brad Stevens in the first round.

They are playing EWU which is nearby, as well as Gonzaga. Spokane is just a big basketball town, they also host the country's largest 3 on 3 tournament in the country

Wyoming is a number 12 seed - they play 5 Northern Iowa in Seattle, the natural place for an East Regional Game.  Northern Iowa plays like Wyoming (slow down, move the ball, great defense), but way better.  My only hope now is that the 12-5 jinx continues and Wyoming wins the upset.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I'm a little weirded out by the fact that this was the first time Arizona won the PAC conference tourney since 2003. 


Only the second time Arizona has ever won it, and the first time was the inaugural year.

I don't know if that is because there is a kind of "thing" at Arizona where nobody gives a shit about the Pac-12 title. I would not really think so, since the guys playing, at the time they are playing, would presumably care about the game at least.

But mostly the attitude at Arizona is that the conference title is what actually matters. The Pac-12 champion is whoever comes out of the season, and the Pac-12 tournament is just a way of generating some cash for the conference, and maybe get another team in the dance now and then.

So Miller has won half the conference championships since he arrived, and I think this is his first Pac-12 tournament title.

Arizona gets a 2 seed, but I don't think it matters at all.

They will go as far as they go in their bracket, and had they been a 1 seed and Wisconsin the 2 seed, I don't think it would matter. In fact, I would probably rather have them a 2 in the West than a 1 somewhere else, so that is fine.

Would love to see a re-match with Wisconsin...but there are some good teams before they ever get their, and three losses to RPI 100ish teams this year make it clear that Arizona cannot make any assumptions about any games.

I am sure this breaks your heart PDH: http://www.coloradoan.com/story/sports/csu/mens-basketball/2015/03/15/colorado-state-misses-ncaa-tournament/24820397/

QuoteThe news brought a locker room full of grown men to tears and outraged CSU fans across the country.

The winningest Colorado State University men's basketball team ever wasn't good enough to make the NCAA tournament.

At least not in the eyes of the 10-member selection committee, which left the Rams, who had a 27-6 record, out of the 68-team field Sunday.

Coach Larry Eustachy declined to take questions or make players available at his 2-minute news conference, saying he had to get back to the locker room to console his team. But he clearly was disappointed, if not stunned by the news.

"I don't want to say something that I'm going to regret," he said. "They're devastated, and they should be, because they're certainly an NCAA tournament team," he said.

Players took to Twitter and other social media to express their disappointment, although some posts were quickly removed.

"I don't understand ... what did we do wrong," junior forward Tiel Daniels tweeted.

Whiners.

Well, I dunno - 27 wins is a fucking lot of wins.

Their non-conference schedule was pretty putrid. Always a risk when you do that.

I have them going all the way in one of my brackets :thumbsup:
