Haha Hardt. Tho honestly I would have rather been the 13 seed & got Providence in Buffalo.
Lets win and keep the dream alive. I went to San Antonio in 2011 and watched us lose to Kansas. Lets get some revenge!
Iowa meet the “Giant Killers”…………..The Originals!
We got a little screwed with the bracket. 1st, we have to play on Thursday and second is playing Iowa. Their Net ranking is 14th, which mean based only on that, they should be a mid 4th seed. They also just won the Big 10 tournament, which might be the best conference in the country. With that said, we can take them.
I think there is a NET tomorrow. I want to compare that to Seeds to see who is the most over & under...
Definitely. Providence is not playing well. Ive seen teams win major conference titles then lay an egg in the opening round. Anything can happen. I hope we have a chance to win it with 5 minutes to go. Then who knows.
Hope they at least give us an evening game Thurs. bc of quick turnaround for us & playing 4 games in 4 days. Plus Iowa played today too.

Buffalo not a lengthy trip at all, who is making the journey?
Of the 5 seeds, I definitely prefer Iowa to Houston. Could have lived with UCONN and sticking it in Danny Hurley's stupid whiny face.
Yes but they beat Rutgers and Indiana first two rounds. I really think its hard to analyze the Big10. With so many teams just about . 500, its really impossible to know who is really good or if all are just mediocre. This scenario happens year after year in Big10. They get 8-9 teams in and by the end of the first weekend there are 3 left. Last year 4 Big 10 teams with seeds under 6 lost in first round.
you’d think the committee would see a pattern.
Wow, tough 1st round match up with Iowa. I agree kneepad, like Iowa over Houston, but St. Mary's would have been best at this seed. And agree that would rather play Providence as a 4. They have had a great season, but never seem to blow reams out. Would have been sweet to beat Uconn bit also would have sucked if we lost to Hurley too.
Love seeing you back posting. This should be exhibit A to our administration why it’s a good thing when we win games. Hope EW is doing well. Hoping our basketball QB can beat another team from Iowa!
Crazy they put the two teams who played the latest on Thursday but I guess its fair to both.
When we beat Iowa, I love our sweet 16 chances. Fixed it for you!
My Hoo son, a season ticket holder and a very good judge of basketball, saw Iowa take down UVA by a point in late November. Sees a lot of Spider games too. He believes we are easily capable of beating Iowa.
I'm going with my family and my Spider family. We will get this done! (He believes we win the second game too).

Where we will meet Kansas for the next revenge tour stop...
Iowa sees us as an easy draw.
Watched the bracketology show and seemed that half of them had Iowa in the final 4. It's not a great draw but we are in and we have Gilly.
It looks like they are large and physical. They will try to rough us up. Their game finished later than ours. They also had to win 4 games in a row.
We are, they will probably be 10 point favorites. And Providence is one of the weakest 4 seeds in the history of the tournament. Iowa has a great path to the sweet 16. Would be insane if we beat Iowa, they should be a 3 or 4 seed.Iowa sees us as an easy draw.

Hey. They beat UVA by a point who is far from great this year. They are not giants. Play smart. Play our game. We beat them.
Congrats Spiderdad. I know with the injuries the season has not turned out personally how you and Dji would like, but appreciate your Fandom despite that. Have enjoyed having you on the board. Let's keep winning.
To be in March Madness is big. At this stage of season, you get what you get as far as one draw vs another. Also, you get what you give - translation - if we play to potential, we control destiny and screw the seeding and who is wearing the home uniforms on Thursday.
my gang will be there - just booked flight to land Wed afternoon . too bad, our return to March Madness in Vegas will have to wait ..
Iowa, way more offense than defense. We will have to outscore them. If we're on our game and keep it close late, we have a chance. We're playing loose and with house money. If it's close late I've got to think they will tighten up. Crowd will be on our side because we're the dog. I'm hoping all of Canada shows up to cheer their boys.
