We were watching the game @ Union Club tonight and (in the final moments) overheard “I don’t know if you know much about biological algorithms but….” 
Love you Purdue.

Just looked and I’m third in the larger pool! 
But to win I need UCLA to win tonight and for Kansas to win next round and then some wild card to win it all. Go, St. Peter’s! lol
Go Heels!! ACC, y’all.

I hope Purdue does better in the media with a number 3 losing to a number 15 seed than UVA did as a #1 losing to a #16. UVA #1 seed lost to #16 seed UMBC in 2018.
That loss still gets referenced , despite UVA going on the next year to win the National Championship! On the Today Show this week, Kornacki, for instance, talked about the UVA loss, but failed to mention the major win the next year. I guess they’ll never truly live that loss down! It will live forever. 
Go ACC, and also the Peacocks!

ACC doing well! Big 10 disappointing. Love Cinderella St Peters.
Arkansas and Miami impressive.
More of my brackets busted with Gonzaga, Arizona, Kentucky, Purdue out.
That game keeps getting referenced because it was (and I think still is) the only time a no. 16 team beat a no.1 team in the history of the men’s ncaa tournament.

Yes, I know that about the UVA game . And now we have a #15 advancing so far for the first time ever. That’s the reason these kinds of occurrences will probably keep getting talked about, because they’re so unusual.
I am rooting for St. Peter’s, I wonder who will show the coach the money next yr? Seton Hall?
It still is the only time on the men’s side a #1 seed lost in the first round. 16 seeds are something like 1-147 against #1 seeds. On the women’s side, only one number #1 seed has lost to a #16 seed. Something that rare in tournaments that are played each year will be discussed.
And I read somewhere that in the #1 v #16 games, 15 of them have been decided by 10 points or less. Virginia lost by 20.
For Purdue, they lost to a #15 seed as a #3 seed in the third round. Ten #15 seeds have won in the first round (138 losses) and one has done so in each of the last 2 tournaments. It was the first time a #15 seed made the Elite 8. But only three #15 seeds have made it to the Sweet 16. Next time one makes it to the Sweet 16, Purdue will probably come up. Four #1s play #16s each year so Virginia will come up more often.
In terms of Purdue and landing on the moon, I don’t think MIT, West Point or the Naval Academy have many Final 4 banners hanging in rafters.

My son and his friends enjoyed the game so much, they bought tickets to the next one, it’s so exciting. Go Dougie!
Fired Seton Hall coach Willard mentioned Shaheen Holloway in his outgoing comments, which I thought was inappropriate, given that St. Peter’s hadn’t played its Sweet Sixteen game as yet.
My bracket? Kaboom! But I am 5th out of about 16 in my pool. The person in first has Kansas as the winner and one person behind me also has Kansas. Everyone else in the pool picked a winner who is gone from the tournament. I don’t think I can get any more points (Duke and Villanova are still in it but I didn’t pick either to go on 
How many of you had St. Peter U?
Go Peacocks! I always root for the Cinderellas!
