Third time we see Memphis in the post season as a University. Let’s make this one count!

First bowl victory over them, hopefully the first NCAA tourney victory over them/team Penny. The fact the committee picked two mid major conference champions in the first round that easily could both be top 25 teams is disappointing. Also it isn't the exciting P5 matchup both teams probably wanted, but will take it and think it'll be a great game.

Not to rain on the parade, but the 9:20 PM start time is a major disappointment to me. If we win it's midnight (no way it starts at that time and the TV timeouts are stretched) and everyone is cashed out for the day. Can't "celebrate" during "working hours".

That's some serious 🐂 💩

NOT happy about that at all.

Getting to Columbus cheapest I could find is $500 round trip. Insane. Do I go or have a giant watch party in Boca?

Where would Sweet 16 be? MSG?

Bottom line is the Owls got royally screwed over by;

1. Being a #9 seed. Projections were mostly 8 or even a 7 with VERY strong finish to season! NOPE, we get bumped DOWN!!!
2. Facing future AAC foe Memphis.
3. Placed in bracket with Purdue.
4. Placed in NORTH bracket.

Shock 'em Owls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
