4 UConn 25-8 vs 14 Iona 27-7

TV: TBS -Spero Dedes, Debbie Antonelli & AJ Ross
Time: 4:30pm

Friday
Albany, NY
West Regional

UCONN and Iona both get to play close to home because the ACC and A10 and the East Coast in general had a down year (no team from Philly first time since 1977!!

Line: UConn -9/143.5

saw this from Zagoria:
Needless to say, Taliek Brown is doing the @IonaGaelsMBB scout on @UConnMBB

He served as Director of Player Development at UConn for the last three seasons before joining Rick Pitino's staff.

This game is attention getting only because of Pitino. It seems to me like UConn will win big.

Is everybody on the board going to root for UConn?

I have a feeling it's probably split, but I root for all BE teams and UCONN is in the BE

Initially, I'm rooting for all teams, but if all other teams get eliminated and UConn is the only one left standing, playing in a game to go to the Final Four...I'm gonna feel conflicted. So, the Big East just needs to get another team to the Final Four so that's not a problem.

It was definitely funny hearing that Hurley said something like, "This is our conference," during the BET, only to lose to Marquette lol.

Gotta root for the underdog in a game like this.
