Certainly seems that way. Someone within the last week posted the records of the first round match-ups for the last “x” number of years: #1 vs #16, #2 vs. #15, etc.
What was interesting is the #8 vs #9 record was EXACTLY even...... .500!

Let me take this time to remind everyone that Villanova won two of the last three NCs. It’s very doubtful this year but look out in 2020.

But 2020 is our year.
Ypu’ll see. Check out the freshman class Jay has coming in. #s 13 and 17 in the country plus two other top 50.
That’s next year. It’s not cool that you’ve already given up on them this year. Tsk, tsk.
Yes, this seems to happen more often than people would expect. I wonder if it is because the 12 seeds are often the best of the auto bids from the "one-bid" conferences.
Maryland has an open three, misses. LSU has a contested three, makes it. LSU up 3 with 0:32 left, Maryland ball, :26 on shot clock.
What was controversial? Was just following on ESPN.com (son wanted to do a Pokewalk lol). Were the fouls at the end bad calls?
Maryland really had a grip on the game, shutting down LSU, when this Terp goes for a steal on the perimeter and gives up an open three. Maryland had them on the ropes and that shot absolutely turned the game. That’s really eating me. Oh, well, that’s basketball.
Nice that trash program has won 28 tournament games under Jay Wright and two National Titles. Nate waxing poetic again.
I only saw the last three minutes, so I have no idea how the game was called up until that time. But I thought there were 5-6 calls / non-calls in these last few minutes, every single one went Kentucky’s way. Just seemed the calls / non-calls were different at one end of the court than the other.

Screw 'Nova and yourself while you're at it.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Purdue handed Villanova a 26-point loss, the largest NCAA tournament defeat in program history and the second-largest by a defending national champion, on Saturday night at the XL Center.
Purdue's 87-61 victory was fueled by Carsen Edwards, who scored 42 points and set a school record with nine 3-pointers. It was also the highest individual offensive output in the NCAA tournament since Gerry McNamara scored 43 points for Syracuse in 2004.

There's a bit more sir.
Jay Wright said he and his staff failed to prepare sixth-seeded Villanova for Saturday's "ugly game."
"We just, as a staff, did not get our guys ... we tried to make them understand their ability to hit 3s and execute their offense," Wright said. "We just did not have them ready from the start."
Did you watch the Purdue game? Bad, but nothing like the 90-47 thrashing Penn took in 1971.

This is Chambers’ chance to DOMINATE. THE. STATE.
Iowa came back from 25 down to tie Tennessee with :21 left. Now :14.6 left, Tennessee with the ball.
