That’s not how it works. When you have a literal marginal record and get seeded a bus trip away as an 11 is what irks people. They were preseason top 10 if you recall so it’s not like they don’t have talent.

Michigan clearly belongs.

Memphis/Gonzaga a pretty good game right now.

Ann Arbor is over 4 hours away from Indianapolis. 266 miles. When's the last time you drove over 4 hours for something? Tennesseee is 357 miles, it's not like they were that much further away.

I drive all the time but that’s irrelevant.

It’s an easy trip in the heart of Big Ten country and they played a team from Colorado in their first game. It’s not hard to see unless you don’t want to.

Here come the Racers and the Sea of Gold in Indy.

It's the NCAA rules keeping teams as close to home as possible. The 4 sites for the 11 seeds were Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and San Diego. Indianapolis is the closest for them, so they were sent there.

A 15-seed could be 5 minutes from the Sweet Sixteen!

Gonzaga down double digits to Memphis.

Will another #1 seed go down?

How convenient for them and unfortunate for CSU.

Well, there's a commercial pilot shortage so if they grouped to take more buses this year, then that's what had to occur.

I called Memphis over Gonzaga in my bracket. So far so good though there's plenty of time to go.

Long and athletic can overcome some of the Gonzaga tempo.
But it appears Memphis will be in foul trouble in the 2nd Half but they'll have to shoot even better than they did in the 1st Half as they can get to the rim since Timme and Chet don't wanna get dunked on.

Way to go Saint Peters, what a run

Well, today already has totally delivered. Can we get 1 more major upset?

Arkansas scored 8 points in the first 12 minutes of the 2nd half to let NMSU tie, but they are finally scoring. 12 points in 6 minutes. 46-40 with 2 minutes to go.

Last year’s Gonzaga team was better than this year’s team - hands down.

They don't have anymore Kentucky schools to play.

Saint Peter’s knocks off #7 Kentucky and #20 Murray State to go to the Sweet 16. They’re pretty good - it’s just they were off everyone’s radar all year because of how good Iona was.
