You would think they want to get the games in ASAP before any team gets a positive test....

Covid testing is the answer.

S I say switch the title to S16/E8 discussion so you can keep pinned and wont have a new thread, saving Chicken and his hamsters band width

ehhh, if they lose to baylor in the final, youd be a complete idiot to make a big deal out of it. and we will definitely be finding out that a lot of people are complete idiots because it would happen.

2 best teams all year long. it'd be a perfectly reasonable and acceptable loss.

IMO Gonzaga would have more of a problem with Bama than Baylor.

2 reasons I can think of. If someone comes up Covid+ there might be enough time for retesting. Also TV is better on weekend.

If Bama plays like they did last night with that intensity and dropping 17-20 3pt’ers, then I think they can beat any team left in the tournament.

I’ve been saying this about USC football since 05. At least the Zags, if they lose, will likely come to another top team. Jacquizz Rodgers just broke another 20 yard run!

Because of the shenanigans they pulled with VCU and not saying they broke the bubble. They’ll claim someone tested positive

Makes sense to schedule the 4th round doubleheaders for weeknights (Monday and Tuesday). I am looking forward to quadruple headers this weekend.

Maybe, but few teams, like BAMA, have a gameplan where they know they are going to jack at least 30 up during the contest.

nonsense

you never played more than your pe class or you would know from experience any team good enough to get in can beat any team if they all happen to be on big biorythm day. or lucky.

did you see villanova beat ewing Georgetown?
villanova had 3 guys play well. a pf. a sf. a pg.
hot shooting.
key rebounds.
pf had ordinary nba career.
pg confessed to using coke in semis game.

also 16 seed murray st took big10 champ mich state to OT . popeye jones missed a couple fts last minute reg time.
16 seed princeton had ball and last shot down 1 vs gtown.

Didn’t Robert Morris take Nova to OT 2010? I know it was a close game. Nova had gone FF year before

In 92 Popeye had Arkansas beat and they ran out of gas

ETSU and Keith Mr Jennings lost to OU as a 16 n 89 but led for all but a couple minutes
