Kentucky - even with a reported $22 million NIL

Kansas

Gonzaga

first time since 1990 that at least one of those 3 hasn't been in Sweet 16

Others which fell short:

N. Carolina

UCLA

Indiana - also wasn't part of the 68 this year

So is our problem actually NIL? 🤔

Not his point, just an observation.

I didn't watch many Duck games this year, but what I saw suggested serious depth and talent deficits. Whether this was from an NIL deficit, I can't say and will defer to Charles on this one.

My team suffered perhaps the most embarrassing loss of any in the first round, losing badly to a less talented Saint Louis aggregation. They didn't even come close to resembling the spirited group they had been in the regular season. I began to wonder early in the second half if some of the players were on the take to gamblers. No one I know close to the team as any good explanation for how poorly the Dawgs played in this one.

Yes, it was a tough outing for Georgia. So far, the Big Ten is getting the benefit of the bounce. The Florida and Vanderbilt losses could have easily gone the other way.

I think 4-seed Arkansas in the West has a decent chance of taking down Arizona and then Purdue, if Texas, behind excellent coach Sean Miller and playing with house money, hasn't already defeated Purdue.

4-seed Bama in the Midwest has the size to pull off a B1G upset and take down Michigan.

It's March, and there will be Madness and mad fans.

Unfortunately, Oregon fans know what it's like for their team to Flounder 😁 in the postseason. 🤬
