So glad Arizona lost. They were kinda smug when we played them.

For all those who thought Arizona was national championship team after they beat us....guess not. It just demonstrates the complete irrelevance of December games. Teams go through a lot of changes as the season progresses.

Patrick McCaffery ended his career playing 166 games at Iowa.

Didn't even come close to the 1,000 club......scored 740 points in his career and shot 35%.

One McCaffery down, two to go.

Fell in love with watching Mountain West basketball at night the last few years, but unfortunately they just seem to underperform in the tournament.

Boise looks terrible. They can’t shoot

I guess their big has been injured on and off for a month. Either way they were never going to win it all. Their defense was way too bad.  I still think they’rea good team. Had we not had one of our typical 5min slumps to start the game we could’ve won it.

In a harbinger of things to come, Purdon't just lost in Columbus!

The Johnettes with a last second bucket beat the 'Lady' Toilets in the first four. Also, the play-in game for IU's opponent is on ESPN2.

Really weird seeing two random teams playing on our home court like this.

I gotta say I do pull for B1G teams in the NCAA for sure against SEC teams. But that’s just me.   But not PURDUE!

Arizona had a strange year.  Beat most of the top teams they played and most of their losses were to mediocre teams.  They were prime first-round upset material.

Boise State had a chance but Northwestern is pulling away now. How unfortunate.

[RaceToTheTop 28,175]

Mixed results for the Big right now.  Two wins, two losses.  Both losses to the SEC.  SEC sitting at 4-0 right now.

If Maryland and Northwestern want to win one game that’s cool.  Whatever.  As long as Illinois, Iowa, and MSU lose their openers with Purdue not far behind I’m good.  Almost there.

[Hovadipo 59,173]

Keep an eye on that PSU TAMU start time if you want an idea of how many coffees to drink tomorrow evening. Same window for us. The game before theirs isn’t at the under-4 yet and tip off is scheduled for 20 minutes from now. 

[Alford Bailey 12,809]

 Northwestern has good guards and plays defense.

Yeah, while it's disappointing that Maryland and Northwestern won, I dislike Illinois and Iowa more than those teams (close call with Maryland though) so I guess having those 2 be the losers is the best scenario for the B1G being 2-2 now.

Ill should be ashamed!

Fran McCaffery......12 tournaments, 0 sweet sixteens.

[go iu bb 7,514]

Did Fran act mature today or was he his normal self acting like a spoiled child who's been told "no?"

[go iu bb 7,514]

N Kentucky is tied with Houston at 8 minutes in the 1st.

I picked them to win it in my bracket 

[Hovadipo 59,173]

Auburn has never lost a first round game (11 wins), Boise State has never won a game (9 losses).
