RE: ** Sweet 16 General Discussion Thread **
I'll begin. There's no one remaining that I really want to root for. So who do I dislike the least?
Round 1 Cut: Schools that didn't belong in the tourney to begin with (Cuse)
Round 2 Cut: Schools implicated in the FBI scandal (Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, Clemson)
Round 3 Cut: Old Big East schools (Nova, West Virginia)
Round 4 Cut: Bottom tier basketball Cartel schools (FSU, Kansas State, Texas A&M, Texas Tech)
Round 5 Cut: G4 schools (Nevada)
Round 6 Cut: Schools that voted in favor of Rutgers over UCONN (Purdue, Michigan)
Round 7 Cut: Not wanting to hear that we invited the wrong Valley team (Loyola)
So go Gonzaga, I guess...

At this point anyone but Gonzaga or Nevada. Also more than OK with UK taking the gas pipe too.
Count me in for Huggins and the 'Eers.

Only reason I'm watching is because Gregg Marshall will be a guest analyst for some of the games.

Gonzaga vs. Loyala
About time we get to see someone different win it....
...or....
Texas A&M vs. FSU
Jimbo Fisher and Johnny Manziel all the time. Yeah, I know. Different sport then still though...

Kentucky fans probably bought up all the tickets and won't show up until closer to their game.

Michigan beating the snot out of the Aggies is what I wanted but I am way more depressed than I thought I'd be. Sure would be fun to get that chance since they refuse to play us.

So, just brainstorming here, throwing ideas out there, but what do y’all think about inviting a MVC team into the American? I mean this Loyola team is fun to watch they have a great story and they represent a huge metropolitan area. Plus being an Elite 8 team! Seems like a perfect fit no?

I think it should be an annual invitational. We invite the best MVC team to join each year with the option of throwing out one that accepted an invitation but underperformed.
Sorta relegation league stuff. Bye, Shockers. Hello, Ramblers.

With the UM win like that, really shows how well the UH team played. I don't know how young the UH team is, but looks good next year.
