I was hoping to pick Wofford for a few upsets but they got pegged with Kentucky in the second round. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not seeing as many upsets happening this year.

UC Irvine.....

Why do we care about Wofford? I hope they lose first game!

We gotta live vicariously thru somebody that isn’t Duke Or UNC......
For a coach that has stuck with Wofford for 30 years I gotta throw some props their way.

I still can't believe we got snubbed for the at large bid.

Yep, it was a bummer at the viewing party.

I didn’t know that Gardner Webb had wins over two ACC squads. Gardner freaking Webb....

I was hoping for an Anteaters/ Banana Slugs matchup.

Murray State is my upset pick.

I'm pulling for my alma mater.

You're allowed to say their name - they aren't Voldemort.

Though I'm sure many on here would rather see the Death Eaters win it all.

It only flagged up for a second, but looked like they said wofford is the best deed out of the conference since App State (6) in 1976... I think that's what it said. This pre dates me by a while, does this sound right?

I'd like to see Wofford do well and they're a great story, but I don't actually think they're a top 25 team. They didn't fare well when they had their chances against the big boys this year. They may get by Seton Hall, but if so I think UK handles them easily.

I doesn't matter what I think. They are a top 25 team. Good luck Terriers.

Held at Legends with a six pack limit I would assume?

Oh so young lol. 1979. Won SoCon only 7 years as a D1 program. I remember it well. Coach Bobby Cremins. Turned things around in 2 years. Bronx to Boone. Lost to Indiana in the first round.

Nope. Lost to LSU on Indiana's floor.

Also to be fair, the field wasn't 68 in those days. So, Wofford's 7 seed is the best the SoCon has done.

I hope they lose in the first round the way their student celebrated on the field in 2007 will taint them forever for me.

Why would you hold it against their students for upsetting the best #1 team in the country and defending national champs? Our students had a habit of rushing the field and tearing down the goal posts in those days. Should all our opponents hate us for that?
