17 of the last 20 National Champions were ranked in the KenPom top 6 entering the tournament.  Kansas was ranked 6th last year.  Here's this year's top 6:

Houston - Sweet 16

UCLA - Gone

Alabama - Sweet 16

Connecticut - Elite 8

Tennessee - Gone

Texas - Sweet 16

Two of these have been eliminated.  Three play tomorrow.  One has advanced to the final 8.

Draft Kings, Fanduel and Bet  MGM all have a parlay boost that includes the Tennessee ML.

Feels like we should bet that house on FAU ML lol

Sure hope someone besides me listened.

I was just reminded why I never watch Sportscenter anymore. Flipped on the 7 a.m. SC to watch the highlights from a great night of NCAA Tournament play.

Espn led the show off with Zags Ucla highlights...makes sense. Spent about 30 seconds on the UConn game then went to Cavs game in Brooklyn. 

Then Hockey, NBA, Soccer, Tom Brady buying WNBA team, NBA games, NBA Playoff scenarios, UCLA/Zags again.

35 minutes into the show finally discussed the OT K-State/Mich State game. Then segment on KState's Nowell. A little on UConn game.

Then golf, hockey, look ahead to tonight's games with Vitale, Bryce Young's pro day, Lamar, Zeke Elliott decision coming, Not top 10, Women's Sweet 16 (brief discussion)...END OF SHOW!

 

Did FAU and Tennessee not even play last night??? But thank goodness I have an update on what Tom Brady did yesterday how short Bryce Young still is!

I can't remember the last time I watched ESPN for anything other than an actual live sporting event.

UCLA is gassed. 

Before the game, I really felt like for UCLA to win that game, they'd have to try and slow down the game, which is why I bet the Under. I was way off about the Under, but maybe had they played the way I thought they would, they might've won.

I am going to guess it was the same for you, as it was for me. The Last Dance in the Summer of 2020 and outside of that, who the hell knows. I'm the same way here.

Me either, just thought it would be cool to watch last night's recaps...lesson learned. 

Reading the last four pages or so of this thread in hindsight is some pretty funny stuff. 

It's over .... they got no chance ... no guard play, no way they can win  ...  they are gassed .... wait, what? overtime? .....

?

Tonight feels like a lot of chalk. I hope it's not in the South!

It was a rollercoaster of a night. ?

San Diego State is up 28 to 23 over Bama at the half.

I know it is only halftime but ouch for the SEC.

Not watching but the SEC and Big 10 have taken huge dumps in this tournament.

It is 66 to 62 SDS with about a minute left.

Bama goes down.

Looks like there won’t be any 1 seeds in Elite Eight. Possible that there won’t be any 2 seeds either.
