I wasn't impressed with TN when they came to our house---they have a team full of prima donna's (two top 5 recruiting classes back to back) and have a sense of entitlement. Probably means it is time for a coaching change.

I compiled the attendance for the first and second rounds.

Iowa 23096
Mississippi State 19911
Notre Dame 14579
Louisville 14318
Oregon 13252
Iowa State 12312
Baylor 12036
Oregon State 10567
Connecticut 10549
Maryland 9013
Stanford 5906
NC State 5452
Texas A&M 5384
Syracuse 5259
Miami 5059
South Carolina 3780

The ticket prices for yesterday's games ranged from $20 to $15 for adults and $15 to $10 for kids, so it seems the NCAA has a big say in ticket prices. South Carolina would have been much higher except they had to play in Charlotte.

We don't have a current student problem. We have a marketing problem that we are blaming on current students.

There is enough blame to go around!

UCLA ends the half on a run. They trail UConn by 5 despite abysmal 26.3% shooting.

UCLA cuts it to 1. timeout UConn

5:50 in the third.

37-36.

UCLA leads but gets called for a flagrant 1 fouling Samuelson, who has been quiet so far.

50-49 UCLA after 3.

UConn run opens an 11 point lead. UCLA having trouble getting good looks now.

Miss State and Louisville advance without much resistance.

I switched to watching the men for a bit.

Oregon won the late game, setting up the rematch with Miss State.

Iowa just took care of NC State.

Baylor crushing S Carolina

We should have beat SC by double figures as well. Most disappointing loss of season

yep I stopped watching at halftime---saving my energy for our game!

#1 seed Mississippi St. has to play #2 seed Oregon tomorrow in Portland, Oregon. That home court advantage might make it more interesting than one might expect.

How interesting do you think it would be on a more neutral court? Oregon already beat Miss State once and they're very very good when they're on.

I think the Ags and Domers used up all the buckets in the arena. Terrible shooting in Missouri State vs Stanford.

Double secret interesting on a neutral court.

ESPN's fivethirtyeight has Oregon as most likely to win. Probability of winning matchup:

Oregon 52%
Mississippi St. 48%

UConn leads Louisville at halftime 41-34 in the first E8 game.

Uconn wins by 7.

Uconn's 12th consecutive Final 4.

UConn got bulletin board material from the selection committee...

Ore nailed MSST

Who does South Carolina bring back?

Technology is amazing. Streamed the end of Oregon-Miss State standing in a DFW jetway waiting for my gate checked bag.

May have to stream a replay later. Sounds like it was a heck of a game.

I saw most of the 2nd half and Vic was upset with the officiating, but Miss
State had one foul at halftime. The fouls ended up being close because in the 4 with the game on the line he had to foul Oregon 4 times just to get Oregon to the free throw line. Oregon was focused and very poised especially the 4th quarter.

Iowa reporters and fans just now learning about Kim

Yep Mulk is a piece of work! So glad she didn't want to come here---despite her record. We have a trend of 2 seeds making it to the final four with Oregon and UCONN advancing. Let's hope the trend continues with a Iowa victory tonight!
