Agreed. Indiana going down would have been fine with me, though.

Minnesota could win it there instead.

I don't think Buckeye Nation has anything left in the tank that's going to will Minny to a win today.

I'm extremely happy with a win in the only game that really counted today. If by luck any other of my picks would win that's just icing on the cake.

:osu:

They are down 21 at the half. Yeesh.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Meh, it was the alternative to michigan winning.


I could only stomach watching for a few minutes and turned it off.

I’ve watched Khalif Wyatt play for the past four seasons and he has grown into something else during his tenure at Temple. I think he’ll end up playing overseas (he’s much too slow for the NBA), but all it takes is for one NBA team to fall in love with the kid. And I’m sure plenty of GM’s would want a guy who is as confident as Wyatt. His back-to-back 31-point performances in the tournament, including Sunday's valiant effort in the Owls' 58-52 loss to Indiana, sure didn’t hurt his cause.

3. Dunphy’s best coaching job

One more Temple thought: Owl coach Fran Dunphy has done a phenomenal job with this roster. This team is nowhere near as talented as past squads, but he got the most out of Wyatt (with whom he has clashed time and time again) and got past a couple of bad stretches from Scootie Randall and Will Cummings. Dunphy’s 3-15 record in the tournament (he suffered most of those losses as Penn’s head coach) simply doesn’t reflect his coaching success.

Dunphy has a rep as a terrific coach according to other coaches, but his teams never go anywhere in the tourney (maybe that's part of why his colleagues like him so much, he never beats them when it matters). Kind of like Bo Ryan only worse? Yah, the days of Temple making runs to the S16 and Elite 8 are over so long as Dunphy is in charge.
