Rooting for St. Joe's, Martelli seems like a nice guy, feel bad since he hasn't been successful in awhile. Plus, UCONN/AAC fans are insufferable.

Very impressed with St. Joes, seem to be very athletic. SLU on the other hand seems very slow, unless they start hitting shots they are likely going down.

You know, seeing these upsets (N Dakota St.) is winning at half, it got me thinking.
Is it because of:
1) More parity throughout the conferences than is usually believed?
2) Magic of march?
3) All about the match-ups.

Personally, I would go with 2 then 3. Teams will play completely different in March than they do all year, its just the basketball gods. And 3, some matchups are just blatantly advantageous (Harvard v Cincy)

Some of these teams just dont get the chance to play "big name teams" throughout the year, so when they do they take advantage of it.

Regardless of the online trolling between the NBE and the A-10. I am rooting for all these A-10 teams, like seeing the big schools go down regardless of conference.

UConn and SLU both have me on the edge of my seat.

Agree, I kind of root for the A10 as well, especially st. Joes because I love Martelli. Unfortunately, it looks like a collapse in the 2nd half will do them in.

St. Louis completely had the wheels fall off the last couple weeks. Losing 5 out of 6 with two of those being Duquesne and St. Bonaventure. They need help to pull this out.

Good day for the 12 seeds so far. Harvard wins, NC State about to win, North Dakota St winning.
Nebraska by birth, Creighton by choice.
