Roll Aggies Roll

 Hmmm…  We have our first completed region, and that is the Midwest.  In the Midwest, all 8 better seeded teams won.  That is as chalky as chalky can get.  That obviously is not the came in other regions, but it seems like the upsets are coming a little less frequently today than they were yesterday, and we still haven’t had a top 4 seed lose.

Honestly, when you look at the upsets we have had, it’s one 12 seed (High Point), 2 11 seeds (VCU & Texas), a 10 (Texas A&M) and 2 9s (TCU and St. Louis).  Apparently, in order to pull an upset, you need to be a small conference school or a underachieving Power 5 team from Texas.  It looks like we are fresh out of Power 5 Texas teams remaining in the first round, so all hopes are on Cal Baptist or Northern Iowa.  Prairie View is still alive from Texas, but last time I checked, the SWAC was not a Power 5 conference.

It was all chalk this run on 5 games.  I disparage Tennessee, but they had a great defensive scheme to play against Miami (Ohio) and they didn’t seem to have an answer for that.  It looked like were just playing a “prevent 3-pointer” defense.  I feel like they should have tried some backdoor cuts for layups, but they just stepped back and took harder 3s.  That was not a great way for them to go out, but credit to the Volunteers.

I was also impressed with Utah State.  I said they were underseeded as a 9.  I was equally impressed at how many people took them in this group.  It’s a smart group we have here.

Still only 46 brackets that can’t win any of the 4 regions.  Still lots of life for people even if their brackets look bad in some other places.

Game 25

Clemson vs Iowa

Vegas Line: Iowa -2

Picks for Clemson: 78

Picks for Iowa: 167

Hmmm…  Remember just a few hours ago when I said that Utah State was the only lower seed to be favored?  I guess I lied.  Iowa is actually even more of a favorite to win than Utah State was.  And just like what people chose in that game, everyone went hard for Iowa.  It’s hard for me to get too excited about this game.  Neither team is that fun to watch.  I would have seeded Iowa as a 12, so they must have faded pretty hard at the end of the season because they were borderline Top 25 for parts of the season.

Game 26

St. John’s vs Northern Iowa

Vegas Line: St. John’s -9.5

Picks for St. John’s: 225

Picks for Northern Iowa: 20

This isn’t as bad these examples, but remember when Virginia lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament as a #1 seed?  They came back the next year and won the Championship.  The year after Purdue was knocked out as a #1 seed, they made it all the way to the Championship game.  Well, St. John’s flamed out pretty dramatically last season, and so may be playing with a bit of a chip on their shoulders.

Toss in the fact that they were pretty dramatically underseeded as a #5.  I honestly thought they should have been the 4^th #1 seed.  That’s how good I think they are.  Apparently, a good chunk of us agree, since this distribution doesn’t look like a normal 12/5.

Game 27

UCLA vs UCF

Vegas Line: UCLA -5.5

Picks for UCLA: 170

Picks for UCF: 75

I would’ve put UCF in the First 4 if I were seeding this tournament.  I had UCLA as a 7.  I see that some people are really excited for this UCLA team.  They’ve been playing a little better over the last month of the season, and that is giving people the idea that they could spring an upset or two.  This wouldn’t be that, but they can’t win any of those later games if they don’t win this one.

My favorite thing about UCF is that that is their actual name.  They used to be Central Florida.  It’s like how Kentucky Fried Chicken is officially “KFC” and the YMCA is now officially “The Y”.  C’mon UCF, show some directional school pride….

Game 28

Purdue vs Queens

Vegas Line: Purdue -25.5

Picks for Purdue: 240

Picks for Queens: 5

Fun fact that I just learned right now.  Queens College is ion the Tournament in their first year of NCAA Tournament eligibility.  This entire time, I figured they were from Queens, NY since it’s right there in the name.  Not so.  They are in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Apparently, this is because Charlotte is nicknamed the “Queen City”.  There you go.  Fun facts…..

They are going to get killed.

Good luck!!!!!
