FWIW, the Big 12 won the Big 12 vs. Big East challenge earlier this season, 7-4 (including our win against Villanova).

Houston barely wins. Big 12 has 2 teams in the Sweet 16.
All 1 and 2 seeds advance to the 2nd round.
Sweet 16 has some heavy hitters.

I am being forward looking this morning as I add Arizona to the Big 12 count. Makes 3.

five observations going into the sweet 16 ...
1. heard on b12 radio that fifteen of the sweet sixteen were kenpom picks, auburn's loss being the outlier. so much for lunardi and those who question computer generated brackets/picks. ha.
2. the tournament is going chalk. kenpom has the final 4 being uofa, houston, tennessee, uconn. i have it uofa, houston, illinois, purdue. kenpom picks uconn repeating. i have purdue winning their first only because it is so hard to repeat - hear me uconn?
3. interestingly, cinderella got hammered in the second round. james madison, grand canyon, northwestern, yale, utah state got sent packing unceremoniously.
4. houston/aTm was bare knuckle fist fight to the end with houston's four star players all fouling out and some sorry ass walk-on having to knock down an important free throw. but the coogs prevailed somehow. good for them.
5. two sweet 16 games stand out for me: iowa state v. illinois. i've like brad's guard-oriented outfit as a sleeper for some time now. and duke/houston which classically frames finesse versus power.

The Houston OT win over TAM to me was the game of the Tournament so far. TAM was down 10 with less than 2 minutes to go and got it to OT.
52 Fouls called, Houston 28 TAM 24

best game so far for me was isu/stanford wbb last night. an overtime thriller played up-tempo with grace, freedom of movement, and great shot making.

Alabama vs Grand Canyon was also a great game to watch.WildcatEngineer wrote: ↑March 25th, 2024, 4:17 pmhttps://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... /401638626

Pick 'Em
2I would add the Oakland upset of Kentucky as a great game. Oakland missed FTs in the last 4 minutes. If they hit those it would not have been dramatic.
