This Tournament has featured the most upsets in Tournament history.
I wish this game was in Minneapolis instead of Indianapolis. I would love it, if the Sweet Sixteen was as far away from Chicago as possible.
Getting more time to rest is an advantage, when teams routinely have less than 48 hours to recover from the previous game. I thought that it was an advantage that the Oregon State-Tennessee game was earlier than the Liberty-Oklahoma State game. I would note that Oregon v. Loyola-Chicago starts seven and a quarter hours before Syracuse v. Houston. The winner of Oregon State v. Loyola-Chicago will have a big advantage in the Elite Eight.

My purely random thought of the day: Our average margin of victory in the NCAA Tournament is TWELVE!!!!
Here's hoping we have an average day on Saturday (wink).

One thing I like about this matchup is that we don't have to hide defenders based on size. I.e. we won't have Lucas defending anybody 6'8 this game. Players like Norris are very good, but they have to get open, they can't rise over our smaller guards like Lucas and Hunt, and in general they won't be switching us into many significant size mismatches.
That said, they are very good about getting players open for looks, so we're going to have to read plays a few steps ahead. They do a lot of double picks, and going above or below them both has big problems, as they have lots of shooters. I suspect we'll have defenders go over the top fo screens hand have players with their heads on a swivel looking to help on backdoor cuts.
