Great first game in Dayton. Game 2: didn't realize our old friend Nike Sibande is now at Pitt.

Edey is going to have a whole foot on everyone from Fairleigh Dickinson. I will say this though, FDU plays a style that gives them a chance against anyone.

Second season isn't it? Pretty sure he flew the RedChicken coop a year ago.

May as well keep it here.

Tony Bennett is gonna have one of the weirdest coaching legacies ever. National champ, but also a handful of upsets including the only 16 over a 1 in history. If they lose to Furman today, man...

Love those upsets. This is what makes March Madness so interesting.

I feel for BVP but you have to admire the irony. He goes to the school he ousted as a 13 seed and then loses to a 13 seed.

Well it happened. BTW they not only lost to a 16 a few years ago they were absolutely blown out.

Obviously Bennett had trouble getting his teams up for the big underdog games. This has got to be something other than bad luck

Certainly BVP would have made a one point difference to tie and two points to win had he been healthy ! Sad way to end a college career. Question is does he have future in the NBA?

We've gone full circle on this board with BVP. From people saying he wasn't athletic enough to play at the D1 level - seriously, go check the receipts on his recruiting thread - to now thinking he's NBA talent.

This board never ceases to amaze.

I sent a text to TOS, and he confirmed "NBA Talent."

658 of 20,055,615 brackets on ESPN survived the first day unblemished. I think that it is less than 50/50 that one will survive today. Only once in history has a bracket every survived the first 3 days on a major online pool. That one survived the 4th day too. Imagine the odds on a 48 game parlay.

All are blemished after 25 games. Nobody survived FDU.

Kent pretty much got dominated by IU tonight, 60-71. Poor shooting and several missed layups really killed the Flashes down the stretch. Trace Jackson-Davis for IU was crazy tonight, had Hornbeak’s number all of tonight. Sadly, really shows the divide between P5 and the MAC. Crazy how Kent who has had very close games with Gonzaga and Houston lay an egg like that. We are still currently the most recent MAC team to win an NCAA tourney game. I’m not totally sure on this but believe this was Carry’s and Jacob’s last games in a Kent uniform.

Disgusting performance out of Kent. That was a big ole' nothing burger. How many missed layups....12? Hate it for the conference.
