I believe we would bury Wagner when you look at their schedule the conference they play in it's all soft with really not much competition to speak of!! IMO!!

I'll take that game as well!

St Bon and Buffalo look legit this year, expecting them to knock some folks off given the opportunity...

No clue about 'Cuse, haven't paid an ounce of attention on them - will have to look before making NCAAT picks!

Don't look now but St Bonaventure just knocked of UCLA last night. The beginning of the upsets!!

I wouldn't call it an upset in the true sense of the word. They were both rated as 11 seeds and St. Bona definitely had a "home court" advantage playing a bus ride from home and in an A10 friendly arena; where they play every year....was fun to see one of the BIG Boys get knocked off though!

In program name only. Two 11 seeds in a play-in game. Bruins were only favored by only 3.5 and the Bonnies had more fans there, so a very mild upset at best.

I didn't pay too much attention to where they were playing but nevertheless beating UCLA who was favored by I believe 3.5 points. Nice!

Buffalo busted some brackets tonight...totally dismantled Arizona with relentless D, like the old VCU havoc teams. They will be tough against Kentucky on Saturday, too. I wish we used our athleticism the way they do.

In three games, upstate New York eliminated the Pac-12 all on its own.

Didn't bust my bracket. They doubled Ayton and frustrated him all night. Arizona couldn't execute a single high ball screen. Great defensive effort and they shot well.
