    The Committee gave us respect with a #1 seed. When we lost to Providence some of my buddies thought Michigan St might slide into that 4th #1 spot as they won the Big 10 outright - then they get a 3 seed. What is our record vs Gonzaga in the NCAA Tourney? That may be part of the disrespect vs the Zags.Also, is Ohio St good enough to whip the Zags.
    This has been a revenge year & we revenged all except Nova. Since the tourney went to 64 teams I wonder what our seed has been in each. We have 1 #1, 1 #2 & I am too sick to go thru the XU media guide where I could find that info. We better not look forward to the Zags or we lose vs an 8 or 9.

    Screw Gonzaga. Those boys are soft from what i am seeing again. When X gets in their grill and smacks them around their Charmin like 6'11 three pt shooter is gonna fold like a house of cards

    Yes, an F4 will help perception of X for sure. But no, UVA doesn’t feel like us. They are the consensus #1, and lots of people actually think they’re going to win.

    I think losing Hunter hurts UVA's chances a lot.

    I am glad we are playing the second day. It gives you a reminder of the pace of the game and the refereeing of the game which is different than regular season. All you have to do is watch NC Greensboro v Gonzaga (so close) to know that every team is a mine field and the low seed playing with house money.I know the team and coach will have us ready

    Looks like the "Experts" are so right again. What a bunch of clowns. Mark my words Michigan State will not come close to the final four let alone a championship

    In all seriousness can we just ban the Pac-12 from the tournament next year? UCLA, ASU, Arizona got absolutely stomped and showed why that conference is not respected at all. I think the AAC might have better teams.
