Is any 1 or 2 seed going to lose today?

I think this tournament is setting up for a chalky final 16

Maybe Tennessee

I'm wondering if Arizona will lose to Dayton.
The tempo of these two teams cannot be any different.

Dayton 64 possessions/gm
Arizona 72 possessions/gm

It doesn't always happen but when a very fast team (Ariz) faces a very slow team (Dayton), the faster team is at higher risk of losing in the tournament. I think its like ~60% for the slow team straight up when the tempo difference is high (8 or more).

I hope there are some upsets

Maybe Tennessee

This will be ineresting game. Barnes facing his old team.
Texas can be up or down. They are very inconsistant. If they play like the "good" Texas team today, this will be a very close game.

Marquette tomorrow will lose

Could see Carolina go down today

Could see this too, some teams can play both tempos (like my Huskies). Those that struggle this time of year to do so often go down. Would personally love to see the Flyers move on

Huskies as in UConn?
They looked really good yesterday. I mean dayam good.

Sure it was only Stetson but it was a perfect warm up game for them to go against Northwestern tomorrow.

Yep, UConn. Suppose I should’ve specified lol… Agreed, Northwestern definitely more of a challenge but we should win. And now Auburn’s out of the way. Potential champ game rematch with the Aztecs before the real test against Illinois or Iowa State.

The one team to beat Arizona twice this year was Washington St, 313th in tempo.

The slowest they saw this season was UCLA who they swept, but their offense is not nearly as prolific as Dayton’s.

Arizona seems like a weak link

Auburn will beat U Conn....Oops delete
