Tough matchup in Buffalo mid-afternoon...

Saturday 03/18/2017
Villanova vs Wisconsin, 2:40pm.

Cats continue their run to defend their National Championship. Similar to last year in Brooklyn against Iowa, they have a 2nd round game vs a good Big Ten team. This year on the other end of the Thruway.

Pointless if Nova can't win today, but who are you guys rooting for in Florida vs. Virginia? I want Nova to see Florida in sweet 16. They look very beatable, and it's basically a home game in Orlando for them tonight.

I like to avoid rematches, and Virginia's defense is scary. So Florida.

That's an excellent point, especially rematch of a game you won at the buzzer. Too much revenge factor going on.

Florida...not the same team without Egbunu and I don't think they were that good of team before that. Their RPI numbers are a little skewed too because of playing semi-home games at the begging of the season.

Happ looks like he's going to be a problem. Get him a quick foul or two and that would be big. Ugly start for Nova. Heart with 2 tournovers at the U16.

Everyone except Donte is playing tight. This is embarrassing for rest of the guys with championship experience.

I think absence of Ochefu has really hurt Jenkins this season. I'd be surprised if he regains his shooting touch.

Not hitting the 3. Jenkins and Brunson are cold. Shades of 2015 :oops:
