Will this result in any sort of resemblance of respect for the PAC-12 going into next season? I’m doubting it.

If the PAC maximizes their opportunities into the Sweet16 or beyond, maybe.

Apparently it does equal money for the conference, so that is a tangible benefit.

They need to nail the hiring of the new pac 12 commissioner. The right person will get us back on ESPN, get us back on prime time on channels people watch. And get us back some respect.

I'm laughing so hard at this butt-kicking some random Catholic school is putting on Illinois right now. I love the NCAA tournament.

Down goes Illinois! Ouch!

B1G is in free fall. Wisconsin has to play Baylor and Rutgers is playing Houston. MI plays LSU and Maryland plays BAMA. Iowa vs O. They could conceivably be down to 1 team after the first weekend. “Most powerful league in the country”

There goes my bracket

I guess Loyola Chicago isn't some unheard-of school - they were in the final four a few years ago. Not sure how I missed that. Anyway, now Oral Roberts gets into the act, beating Florida and punching a berth in the Sweet 16. Revenge of the Christian colleges. Three so far in the round of sixteen, with Abilene Christian still to play tomorrow.

If Beavs win tonight they’ll match up against Loyola Chicago for the Elite Eight right? Like I’m happy for the Beavs but they’re getting a lucky route to go far in the tourney and if they end up farther than Oregon they’ll be insufferable.

Congrats to Oregon State. That was some cold shooting by Oklahoma State.

Congrats to the Beavs! Cinderella?

Here are the lines going into the games today:

Iowa (-5) vs. Oregon
Gonzaga (-14) vs. Oklahoma
UCLA (-5) vs. Abilene Christian
Creighton (-5.5) vs. Ohio
Michigan (-5) vs. LSU
Florida State (-1.5) vs. Colorado
Alabama (-6) vs. Maryland
USC (-1.5) vs. Kansas

So according to those lines, two more Pac-12 schools are projected to join the Beavs in the Sweet 16.

Live look at #1 seed Michigan as it watches the 'really good teams they played all season' get demolished in the tournament.

Michigan without Livers may be in danger against a really talented and athletic LSU team.
