UNC, West Virginia Top List

play

Now March Madness can officially begin.

We have another four soldiers to prepare for the first round of the NCAA tournament on Thursday, the date, where many observers are still regarded as the true start of the tournament.

First, however, we had a trimming of the fat on Tuesday and Wednesday to convey the clip on 64 teams.

Here are the winners and losers from the first four games in Dayton, Ohio:

winner

North Carolina, Xavier

The first four winners provide good candidates for the sleeper team.

In 12 of the past 13 years with these first four games, at least one team that has entered the 64 team field rose at least into the second round.

VCU (2011) and UCLA (2021) went from the first four to Final Four.

This story is good for North Carolina and Xavier. These two No. 11 seeds who have won their games will now face No. 6 seeds Ole Miss and Illinois.

Alert Alert, someone?

Dunk -Desthusiasten

When you enjoy points in color, you loved the 83-72 victory of Mount St. Mary against the American, who achieved a handful of margins.

Mount St. Mary’s offensive worked beautifully. The big men, Jedy Cordilia and Dola Adebayo, each delivered 22 points with an unstoppable dominance on the edge, and some kick-outs from interior led to nine 3-clayers for the mountaineers who looked better than their types of garden 16.

Bubba Cunningham

The sports director of North Carolina, Bubba Cunningham, was chairman of the tournament selection committee, who happened to vote for the Tar-Heels for the final bid for the large. Cunningham will meet a bonus of more than 75,000 US dollars for the team selection of the team in accordance with the conditions of his contract.

Rules determine that Cunningham is not in the room, while the rest of the committee members North Carolina’s tournament candidate, but his presence as chairman of the committee at least at least created the illusion of presence.

North Carolinas 8: 0 record against “Quad 2” winner emphasized his login information together with a robust net ranking. It won two ACC tournament games, while other Bubble teams lost their opening of the conference tournament.

Nevertheless, the Tar Heels carried a mushy résumé on Sunday, which was anchored with a 1-12 record against “Quad 1”. Cunningham, the chairman of the committee, added to the fire of the debate.

By smashing the Tar Heels San Diego State 95-68, they reassured critics who rose against their selection. Oh, and when the Tar Heels reach the sweet 16, Cunningham is due to another bonus. Sweet deal.

Tony Madlock’s wife

Stacie Madlock, the wife of Alabama State coach Tony Madlock and the mother of Hornet’s striker Tj Madlock, showed the television program with his head in his hands during the game against St. Francis.

Prayers answered.

The state of Alabama defeated St. Francis with a wild bucket in the last second.

loser

Rodney Terry

The Texas coach Rodney Terry is on a hot seat, and Texas helped a lead of eight points in the half-time with his defeat against Xavier, which did not help his case with the storage of jobs.

The SEC qualified 14 teams for this tournament. Now it is strong at 13 when Terry is waiting for his fate.

St. Francis, American

The first four are still a rough deal for the No. 16 seeds, which are divided into games despite winning their conference tournaments.

When the NCAA tournament contained only 64 teams, the winning of their conference tournament triggered a guaranteed introduction to the 64 team clip. The tournament expansion changed this. Now the four automatic commandments on the lowest seed on the 16-seaed line have to win a game game to maintain the right to play a No. 1 seed.

Alabama State and Mount St. Mary’s won and went into the first round.

St. Francis and American Bid Adieu.

The last basket of the state of Alabama brought a quick end to St. Francis’s second NCAA tournament in the program history.

State of San Diego

After all of this that North Carolina hadn’t deserved the last bid, the state of San Diego called: “Keep my beer!”

The rotten performance of the Aztec against the Tar Heels indicated that the state of San Diego was the true type of selection on Sunday and hid in sight.

The hot shooting of the Tar Heels tore to shred the Aztecs of the typical defense of the Aztecs.

Mississippi

Would you like to play Tar Heels in round 1 in the way you have tortured the state of San Diego?

North Carolina-Wache RJ Davis, a veteran of the NCAA tournament, will take the game against Ole Miss Blistering Hot after taking all six 3-point attempts against the Aztecs.

When Davis stays hot, look at rebels.

West Virginia

What a terrible section of days it was for West Virginia. First, the selection committee failed to win the mountaineers, who defeated six “Quad 1” rack on the way to a record of 19-13. Then West Virginia, Governor Patrick Morrisey, stood out in a pitiful apology for a press conference in which he threatened to select the UNC over the climbers in response to the committee.

“We have to get to the bottom,” Morrisey bloomed.

West Virginia lost his first game in the Big 12 tournament, 67-60, against Colorado, a team with 20 defeats. There is the floor. The defense rests.

To round off the whole thing, West Virginia needs a new trainer.

Darian Devries no longer remains of Morrisey’s Scharade. Devries played on Tuesday after a season after a season coach from West Virginia to Indiana.

The last record for West Virginia: No offer, a gas bag governor, no coach.
