But with furman and Princeton both winning, probably most non Oru fans also not. So at least we have that 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Really only two upsets today: Princetown and Furman. Look for more tomorrow. The Tennessee vs Duke game on Saturday should be interesting. Both are really good defensive teams but Duke has more firepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I found two teams colder from the floor than we were against Duke. Fortunately, they're playing each other. They might not make 100 pts. between them. Pitt-Iowa St. Looks now to be an upset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 We came pretty close to playing Iowa State. What a difference a few places can make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I was wrong. I thought they might not make 100 pts. between them. They got exactly 100 pts. Games happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think all of the 12 seeds lost this year which is the first time I can remember that happening in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 FDU had three guys in their rotation from D2 and no one over 6'6 but they still beat the 1 seed in Purdue. Quickness beat height. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Yeah, that’s interesting, Keenan, although in our case, Duke had both, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Iowa State or TCU would have been much better matchups. One win in those 4 “Quad 1” games probably would have got us up to an 11 for a matchup like that. That said, Duke being a 5 seed as the ACC tournament champion was a joke. They went 14-6 in the ACC and their only 2 non-conference losses were to 1 seeds Kansas and Purdue. Even still, they were a bad matchup, but it was just frustrating that ORU shot so badly, even on open shots. Duke’s defense was certainly tough, but if they had just made a normal percentage of open shots, especially threes, it would have at least been competitive. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
