Same. And even tho they have a Natty Tony Bennett can suck it as well
Tony Bennett style keeps every opponent in the game. It never lets them bury anybody. That's a dangerous game with an underdog who has nothing to lose. Lets them stay close and build confidence.

Also....what a horrible press break play...crumbled under the pressure

Good Lord. Looking at my bracket, I apparently know NOTHING about this sport and should just let my wife make picks based on who has the "cuter uniforms"

So far for Saturday games, we are the ‘least favored’ favorite, according to betting lines.

Think Auburn could be favored over Houston or just a few points.

Granted it may be Houston's survive and advance game (btw that should not happen with a 1 v 16) but I'm regretting how far I picked Houston in my bracket. Not impressed with what I saw tonight + Kelvin as the coach = Painter's bracket is fooked

EDIT: Looking at you A&M - Jesus

Tony Bennett’s natty is courtesy of the zebras’ collective three-game incompetence streak.

I picked almost everything wrong.
My final four is intact but every upset I picked did not happen.

If Sasser doesn’t play, this game is in Birmingham, and could be really tight.

Right now, according to betting lines, KU is -3.5 and Duke is -3.5

?
FWIW (a half eaten black jellybean and a piss in a toilet at Ralph Brown Draughon Library?) I realize the past is just that and Saturday is a new day but Auburn went 5-9 in their last 14 games.
You know a lot more about college basketball than I do. I understand your thinking Auburn SHOULD be less of a dog but I am kind of surprised you posted that.
Houston is -6.5.
I assume the Sasser situation has been taken in to account and IF/when it is announced Sasser DEFINITELY won't play, then the line will go down.

If/could.
Even IF he does play it could be really tight.
Even IF he doesn't play it could be a blow out in Houston's favor.
Stay tuned.......

Holy shit. Just realized I went 14-2 in my most important bracket yesterday and am in first place in a 59 player pool.
Problem is one of my loses was AZ and I had them going to the FF.
Well, as you can see my bracket, that's hardly the only problem I have. I have UConn beating KU and Kentucky making it to the FF.

No Sasser would be like us not having Jalen.

I’d be nervous ( even more than I am currently ) going against Arkansas without him.

I missed 3 games, all of my final 4 are still in it.
Defense. Rebounds.

Surprised they are 6.5pt favorites over Auburn to be honest.

Houston's resume is supposed to be better than ours? They looked very beatable last night. To me, the biggest thing they have going for them is home court in the final four.

They had a better winning % against worse teams. Whatever that means.

They looked beatable for sure. Especially without Sasser.

Arizona was supposed to be better than us too. They're having breakfast at the local huddle house before flying back to Tuscon to begin the offseason.

All those cool things like talent, ceiling, and potential don't mean much once the tourney starts. KU and Texas are the most battle tested. They both looked it yesterday.

We are poised for another deep run!
