Either Purdue is much better or Virginia is much worse than I thought.

Virginia is absolutely garbage (compared to the standard they have set for themselves). I don't see how they could be considered a top 25 team when there is no talent on the roster, just a system defense. I had them 27th entering the day. They'll be fine by virtue of a soft conference. Highly reminiscent of last year's Villanova.

After the Purdue-Virginia game I was considering switching my pick for UVA-North Carolina.  But after the Ohio St.-UNC game, I think they'll both lose. Smiley

Big time trap game for America's Team on Sunday against a good Buffalo team.  If we win though, the haters will have no choice but to #rankDePaul!

Seeing UCLA-Notre Dame on the schedule will always remind of this game that I watched on live TV.  The Irish broke UCLA and Bill Walton's record 88-game winning streak.  The Bruins led 70-59 with a little over 3 minutes left, but Notre Dame scored the last 12 points of the game to win 71-70 -- and that was before there was a shot clock or 3-pointer! 

Oddly, Notre Dame "book-ended" that streak.  They were also the last team to beat UCLA before it started.

Digger is a wimp! That's gonna be quite a duo calling this game. Neither is even within the first 25 teams out of the tournament so it's time to pull out all the gimmicks. Appreciate the history tales from a firsthand source as always! I should have had you write about the Princeton-Rutgers game.

As far as modern history, I was extremely triggered by this article entitled Notre Dame's Move To The ACC A Monster Blow For Big East Basketball. It's crazy how much more often realignment damages the team leaving than the beautiful conference even while they still have iconic coaches. I still wish to welcome back Notre Dame (and Syracuse) with open arms to form a real power conference. Hopefully a quick UConn resurgence gives them inspiration.

#1 Louisville just lost by 13 to 5-3 Texas Tech, which was without its leading scorer.  Meanwhile, #4 Maryland lost to Penn State.  Fun season so far!

Penn St was actually a 2 pt favorite, shows how even it is this year.

At halftime of Illinois-Michigan, Illinois has committed only three fouls, which looks pretty impressive...until you look at Michigan's ONE foul (and that one came with about 2 minutes left; it looked like they might get to halftime unscathed).  I don't think I've ever seen a game with so few fouls.

Impressive comeback win for Memphis at Tennessee.  I'm starting to believe Penny Hardaway is a pretty good college coach.
