I’m getting fully aboard the Wazzu Cougars Hype Train from this point.
They’re +3500 to make the Final Four and I get a push instead of a loss if Illinois or Northwestern (lol) make it instead.
Just way too high of a price for a team that has a profile that matches plenty of teams that have made this run. Slow pace, well coached, well structured on defense, physical and tough, good lead guard that is comfortable in crunch time.
I was just looking at WSU +7 vs Iowa St, but I hate to bet on teams I really want to win.
Same. Never feels worth it. Unless you’re betting truly meaningful stakes, you already have enough of an investment without the monetary interest.
Was glad to see that the betting market moved the line slightly in our direction after opening in any case.
I hope they have this up in the locker room
Yes, we’re only entering the second round. But I’m not so sure a young man wearing Iowa State colors wasn’t right when he yelled the following at Washington State’s cheerleaders as the Cougars ruined what could have a memorable restart in the now-defunct Drake-Iowa State series.
“It doesn’t matter. You’re gonna lose Saturday!”
who was favored at tip off in Northwestern/FAU
FAU -4
Inadvertent whistle that flips possession in the final 30 seconds is so brutal.
Quite the little collapse from FAU late. I was rooting for them, but they’ve earned the loss.
Northwestern running hotter than the sun in OT. Not sure even they can fuck this up now.
Both teams have been trying hard to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. FAU did a better job of that.
Northwestern giving 90’s Stockton/Hornacek vibes.
That last possession at the end of regulation was so bad. Deserve to lose just for that.
It was as if he was unaware of the clock at first? Which seems impossible in that spot. I don’t know.
NFL running back with a perfect bracket as of right now. He has Western Kentucky winning against Marquette.

re perfect brackets, ESPN’s got this too
Didn’t watch, but I hated their flopping Russian center from last year so I’m glad FAU lost.
Auburn might be in trouble here. One player ejected, one with 2 fouls and one with an ugly looking ankle injury before the first tv timeout
So good that Keven Harlan is on the call for Florida vs. Colorado.
Earlier today one team (FAU I think?) was down 11 with 1:13 remaining and Raftery said you don’t need a desperation three here you can get a quick two.
