UNC-Wilmington has a nice little squad.

UNCW plays fun basketball. I like their style.

This duke team is LAZY in the paint. They just stand around waiting for the ball. I don't see how K allows thius.

Tech loses - not a good start for the Big 12.

actually tech played a good game. they just lost their heads a little in the last 4-5 minutes.

Man ... I sure like Iowa State. Their team plays fun ball and they usually have a good squad. They have a good crowd who actually travels well. They are a good program.

Tech is a team with ZERO tournament experience. Butler's upper class players have a ton of tournament experience.

This English kid at Iona is fun to watch. He's woefully undersized inside but he has nice slick moves and Iowa State isn't that muscly inside anyway.

Plus English is a great sport. He helps everyone up and has a nice demeanor. I know most people dont care about that. For some reason it matters to me.

yeah, and it showed. But they played very well. They made the Big-12 look legit.

UCONN and Colorado look like it'll be a good one to end.

Buffs caught fire, leading by 10 with two minutes to the half. The vast majority picked UConn to win because they've been red-hot lately.

Re: #####NCAA Tournament First Round Thread#####

UConn leads by 3 now.

lot of these early games you have to wait till the 2nd half for the game to have a flow to it - lot of nerves for these early ones so hard to get a good gauge until they calm down.

Tech played ok today - definitely think overseeded as a 8.

Re: #####NCAA Tournament First Round Thread#####

UConn up 9 now.
