I really think Nevada should handle Dayton pretty well. CSU vs Texas looks tougher in my opinion
CSU is going to beat Texas

They had no business putting the Buffs in the play-in after the PAC tourney run. Boyle runs a quality program and had done so for many years, keeping the academic department afloat (along with the even better WBB program) through years of football irrelevance. He had a great team this year, as always.

Yep.and a great home court advantage. Buffs rarely lose at home

While I can't say I want a MWC team to lose in the tournament because of the overall benefit it has on the conference, Boise was the team I wanted to see lose first.

Not MW related, but in the other 8-9 matchup, Michigan State (9) is currently up over Mississippi St. (8) 31-24 at the half.

Michigan state came out really hot. so did duquesne. I think those two games go opposite directions though.

Boise State and BYU are similar in that they both play good basketball in the regular season then struggle in late season/March.

We have struggled in the NCAA tournament, but BYU and Boise State crash and burn before then.
BYU basketball has always impressed me in how a team can have a hot start to the season then.

While I loved seeing BYU lose today, I'd argue they've been better than us in the postseason. Source: 2001. Hopefully, we can start a new chapter in our NCAA history tomorrow.

Big 12 is overrated.
San Francisco nearly beat Cincy in Cincy.
BYU loses to a mid-major.
UCF lost to South Florida.
Kansas State lost to Iowa.

For sure they have been better but they also have had higher seeds. When they went to the sweet 16 they were a 3 seed. They got the easiest team out of any of the 5/6 seeds and lost. The Aggies have sucked but have only been the favored seed in 1 game since 2001. This year will be the 2nd.

Despite being the favored seed, Vegas (the people that really know) have us as dogs.

We've never gotten a favorable match up in the tournament. In aggregate, we still should have won a few games, but there has never been a single game that was more than a toss-up.

Looks like we could see another 11 vs 6 seed upset, Oregon taking leading South Carolina at the half 34-29

Nevada hanging point to point with Dayton.

Yes. Looking at the score - they got a good surge at the end of the half. Lucas hasn't really started going yet, either.

I made 2 half-hearted brackets.
1 of the 2 is really struggling while the other is perfect.
Anyone else made a bracket that is still perfect.
