Mid-Major conference teams are still clearly the Rodney Dangerfield of the NCAA Tournament brackets. They just don’t get any respect. The only non-Power Five conference team that received a seed above a five seed was Gonzaga… and do the Zags really count as a non-power team these days? Northern Iowa lost three… yes, three… games […]

After trailing the majority of the game, this was the shot that put Dayton ahead for good with 37 seconds left as the Dayton Flyers knocked off the Boise State Broncos…. Dayton will play next on Friday night against Providence.

The East region of the NCAA tournament is home to the most unlikely number 1 seed, the Villanova Wildcats. Villanova wasn’t thought of to be one of the elite teams at the beginning of the year. Nova wasn’t even in the preseason top 10. Once the season kicked off though, the Wildcats asserted dominance over […]

Countless recreational gamblers are making their annual pilgrimage to the desert this week, ready to lay down cash they will likely never see again on basketball games played by 19-year-olds they probably couldn’t pick out of a lineup. If that sounds like your idea of a good time, might I suggest these five wagers in […]

Courtesy of ESPN here’s President Obama’s bracket…. Three No. 1 seeds and one No. 2 seed. And I thought I was bad for putting two No. 1 and two No. 2’s in. Oh well, I guess he has more important stuff to worry about.

March Madness is apparently the time of year when perceptions trump everything else. It doesn’t matter if the things perceived can be backed up factually or not. Whether it is the idea that a 12 seed will always upset a five; that the First Four is the most evil thing ever; or that certain coaches and […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Disclaimer: I don’t think anyone will beat Kentucky. I’m not sure if you took away any four of Kentucky’s players anyone would defeat them. This isn’t meant to be some referendum on how there’s someone, somewhere out there that will do so. They’re the best team in the nation, and […]

The timing of the ESPN 30 for 30 broadcast of “I Hate Christian Laettner” was perfect. The 2015 NCAA Tournament, which began on Tuesday night, could easily have a similar name of “I Hate the Kentucky Wildcats” for nearly everyone outside Big Blue Nation. However, with a team that is so close to history, what is […]

Many basketball fans and analysts are predicting an upset in this game as the Eagles are coming into the tournament hot, […]

Here’s the shot that put the Ole Miss Rebels up by three points with two minutes left. The Rebels would not trail again as they went on to beat BYU in a very exciting first round match-up….

BYU shot the lights out in the first half of their game against Ole Miss. The Rebels have cut into their lead but BYU came back with this awesome alley-oop finish by Kyle Collinsworth…
LSU’s Johnny Jones didn’t manage the final minute of a game as poorly as Mark Fox did on Tuesday night… but he still came up short in terms of meeting basic standards of competence.

The First Four is underway, but the round of 64 (your ever-available way to avoid using incorrect round-based terminology) doesn’t start until Thursday. Which round-of-64 games are the most important ones? Before giving you the top five, a word about UCLA and SMU. One could very easily include this game on the list as a […]
