Houston is the highest remaining seed in the South

Wow. Did not see that coming.

This might be the new clubhouse leader for the Tamin Lipsey Legacy Game. He's been unreal.

Coogs up to #4 in kenpom, passing Florida 👀

@joseph-duarte.bsky.social made the post game show

Sweet 16 tickets acquired for me, my wife, my bfam, and my nephew. Lfg.

Coogs not letting teams score for half the game is a great strategy imo. #GoCoogs x #ForTheCity

Winning fouls (knock on all the wood) and stealing their soul on the offensive glass. If the shots start falling even a little bit, watch out.

3rd straight game a Cougar opponent has accidentally banked in a 3. We can stop this now, thanks.

That was a very fun first round, and it was fun watching two 16s give 1s a run for their money, but we ultimately ended up with fewer upsets (one 12 and two 11s) than even last year (two 12s and one 11).

Oh shit, Joshua Jefferson leaving the court with help putting no weight on a leg. Not good.

THIS IS MARCH

Best of luck to @uhcougarmbk in the NCAA Tournament! 🤘

Smu losing yesterday gets even funnier

HIGH POINT

chuck and kenny showing up to the studio today:

Enjoy the Madness, everyone!! Doesn’t get much better than this.

First window is so good. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Got inebriated and filled out a Big 12-optimist bracket with the wife, as is tradition

Lehigh's season begins and ends with a loss to a team from the greater Houston area

this absolutely wrecked me

I am never a "watch the game on mute bc I don't like the announcers" guy and I watched well over half of this game on mute. Utterly unlistenable garbage. The word 'beautiful' does not belong in this headline.

Did not realize in real time last night how far that ut-austin assistant coach got onto the floor. Generally don't want refs inserting themselves at crucial moments but hoo buddy I don't know how you don't call the tech there. Can't have that.

Was really hoping the last strike would come on a pitch 8 inches out of the zone

“It’s an unsustainable business model to pay kids tens of millions of dollars.” That’s right, much better for that money to go to the coaches and recently fired coaches and artificially swollen administrative staffs.

I wonder if the folks who constantly catastrophize the state of college sports - “these kids are too busy chasing the bag to be great!” - realize that they too sound old and out of touch like Charles Barkley and Dick Vitale do tonight.

Charles Barkley should be nowhere near the ncaa tournament. There are so many guys you could have who like college basketball in that chair.

Tonight we are all Wolfpacks

Hey John Roberts, eat shit you big dumb bitch

Good news: this year’s 1 seeds aren’t as far away from the rest of the field as 2025. Bad news: the gap between 1-5s and 12-16s is the largest in at least 25 years. Another upset-light NCAA Tournament appears likely. www.basketunderreview.com/a-historical...

Seeing Big East and St. John's stans cry this morning is so delightful

If you also want to see the bubble shrink for hater reasons, cheer big for San Diego State over Utah State in the MWC final at 5:00, and ideally you'd see VCU beat St. Joseph's right now and then lose to Dayton tomorrow to keep the possibility of a 3-bid A10 alive.

Vandy stomping Florida. Houston will have a real strong case for the last 1-seed if they can beat Arizona.

I am hearing that Houston Cougar hoops is starting to play its best basketball in March 😏

The last time Houston didn't play in a conference tourney championship game they were eligible for, Chicken Knowles was on the team.

Beating Kansas rules

Goddammit please be okay Chase

The possession that led to that Flemings 3 to put Houston up 18 was the sexiest thing I've ever seen

I agree that Miami should be in, but this quote is unintentionally hysterically funny. 1) "Leagues" don't get X teams to the dance, individual teams make it or don't. This is good news for the MAC; the American, Big West, and others would be ahead of them in line for a second team if we're going by

"I respect the titans more for doing stolen valor all the time instead of just occasionally" is an F- take

I'm not mad that the Big 12 decided to try something different, and I'm kinda impressed that they were willing to listen to the feedback and bail halfway through. But I can't help but notice they were getting this feedback during the women's tourney and didn't do shit til the men complained.

Houston wins, Liberty loses, Grand Canyon loses. It's a good day.

Coogs > Cougs

AJ DYBANTSA WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO THE REFS, FOCUS ON THE GAME AJ

Hey Fran and Doug Sirmons, if one of you starts officiating, I'm sure Kingston will stop

This court is a disaster. Couldn't tell you the last time I saw this many guys slip. Not sure I'll be upset if we lose and don't have to play on this thing again.

Bracket matrix has ut-austin and smu as 2 of the last 3 at-larges at the moment. Have never rooted harder for bid-stealers in my life.
