They'll crush them in the second half.

Clemson not looking like a 5 seed. I guess their credentials were they beat Duke.

I believe that will tighten up considerably.
The team getting embarrassed is Clemson, down 15 to a #12 seed.

Creighton has a similar roster makeup to Florida --- height and shooters (obviously not as good) but they were preseason top 10 for a reason. they could give Auburn some trouble....or not.

Tournament Oddities

Will Wade, head coach of McNeese State, currently leading Clemson, has reportedly signed to be the next head coach at NC State. Normally those announcements come after a team finishes their run in the tournament.

Later tonight will be the first time that 2 teams from Omaha have played in the tournament on the same day. Creighton is no stranger to March Madness but the University of Nebraska - Omaha Mavericks make their first ever appearance when they face St. John's.

McNeese barely holds on to a 2 point win, their first tournament win ever. McNeese 69-67. Clemson scored only 13 in the first half.

With Georgia getting creamed by Gonzaga by 22 in the second half and looking putrid the SEC will be 1-2 before the Mizzou game. I was looking at a video of the Mizzou shoot around and they were missing shot after shot....SCARY!

You certainly aren't hiding the fact you are trolling the Mizzou forum.

And you hung yourself by mentioning the Georgia game was still in the second half

They scored 14 in the last 70 seconds or so.

Kansas becomes the second pre-season #1 to lose in the first round of March Madness. The other team was in 2005. It was Kansas.

Ole Miss up 18 over North Carolina at the half. UNC never should have been there in the first place.

Drood, you've around long enough to know we don't capitalize the spelling of that state full or murderers and thieves. :wink:

Beard screaming at his player over a missed defensive assignment. Wish we saw Gates do more of that during games. It seems he wants to be buddies with his players. So we get to see the same mistakes repeated over and over and over.

Can you imagine the reaction by Missouri players if Gates had gotten on them like Beard just got on Dia? Likely would have (upset) themselves. Sometimes you show love by getting tough with them, not hugging and kissing them.
