VOTE: Who wins? #16 seed UMBC or #9 seed Kansas State

[Franisdaman]

K State is a 10.5 point favorite. The over/under is 136.5.

I have to think that UMBC will lose. After all, no 16 seed has ever made it to the Sweet 16.

Likely scenario is that KSt beats the crap out of them just like Virginia would 99% of the time.

I agree. Virginia fans will be sick again, wondering "what if we had shown up on Friday night...."

It will be weird seeing K State (and their coach that the Illini fired), of all teams, in the Sweet 16

UMBC was a match up nightmare for Virginia. In addition, J Lyles played out of mind and Maura was like chasing a chicken around a fenced in area. KSU's back court is quicker than Virginia's back court. The # rule of the Packline is do not give up straight line drives because help cannot rotate quick enough.

After the first 6 minutes, it looked like UMBC might pitch a shutout, but K State has righted the ship. 25-20 Wildcats at the half.

Did Connor transfer to UMBC?

 

[Franisdaman]

UMBC is terrible and K State is just a little bit better.

Wow. Wish I had not bothered tuning in.
