Bump de bump.

 

[Songbird]

Partying like it's 1985.

Happy to admit when I'm wrong. Was in my local Sunday for the selection show and didn't hear the interview with Cunningham, who said specifically that VCU was out without beating Mason, per the boys from One Shining Podcast. Doesn't really matter, but I'm good for a mea culpa when necessary.

Picking a bracket based on mascot awesomeness with a six-year-old gets tough when Zippy meets the Oregon Duck in round two.

Akron is winning the national title, the tiny sage has ruled.

Indiana hires DeVries.

I'm kind of disappointed that there aren't two Saint Francises in the NEC anymore.

 

[Twirling Time]

St. John's-Gonzaga in 1985 would've been at best a 2-15 pairing and people would be saying, "Who the fork is Gonzaga?" They were still saying it in 1997-98.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Alabama State hit the tip drill Hail Mary for the win.

 

[tapintoamerica]

Indiana hires DeVries.

Guess he won't be a prop for the governor of West Va anymore.

 

[poindexter]

I swear I am not trying to be a hot take artist - but I'd rather watch First Four game like this than any NBA playoff game

It was a 2-10 two years after that and Gonzaga beat the Johnnies in Tucson.

That's one thing I miss about the pre-Internet/pre-modern media landscape era. We now can see and follow the low- and mid-majors. Back in the 80s, you'd see some unknowns and wonder who the heck they were.
