NC State is one of them "questionable" teams that made the cut.

As of now, it seems like a lot of those questioning them are looking like they are wrong.

Well... I sure look like an idiot here.

That was an amazing comeback. NC state was deer in headlights after missing all those free throws. It was nice to see Warren play, and it's too bad we wont get to see him going against Louisville's bigtime defense on saturday.

Needed that NC State win. How do you blow a 16pt lead with 8 left. Had St Joe's too. Crappy hour or so for me.

Tj warren still did good.  If he had another guy who can help consistently nc state would of done better.

Warren likely will declare. Def in the 10-20 picking range

I was looking forward to that.

Then again, if you blow a 16 point lead, what's your chances against L'Ville?

People are pretty jazzed here about NDSU beating Oklahoma.  First NCAA Div I tourney win ever (only 2nd appearance in the tourney).  This town is gonna be in full riot mode if they can upset SDSU.

It's still early in the 2nd half, but Duke is getting all it can handle against Mercer.

That Langston Hall kid has size, handles, and he can play...

Considering how good Parker and Hood look as prospects, this is a bit disheartening to see them on the ropes in the first round.

Let's see what these guys are made of.

Total unscientific on my part but I've always felt better about high seeded teams' long-term chances in the tourney when they struggle in their opening round games rather than winning by 25 or 30+.    Seems to get them a bit battle-hardened while you sometimes see teams that dominated in opening/round of 32 games end up getting shocked in the Sweet Sixteen.

Like I said, totally unscientific on my part.

Kenny Smith agrees with you, based on his UNC days.

Jabari is not having a good game, at all. Without their offensive rebounding, Mercer could have been up by atleast 10.

Quinn Cook and Rasheed Sulaimon are the bright stars.

Was he on that '84 UNC team Jordan's junior year?

The first game of the tournament is great! So close!

I am pulling for Dayton for my bracket.
have 3 brackets and had that upset pegged in each one. 

Ohio St was ripe for the picking.
