2019 Hoopsball – Round of 32 Saturday Open Thread

Pardon me, but I have nothing to say!

#6(E) Maryland (+3, +135) v. #3(E) LSU (12:10, CBS)

Well, two sides I didn’t expect to do anything at all.  Now one will make the Powdered Donut Round.  I don’t much care for that.  Full national game, so have a book ready.

#7(MW) Wofford (+5, +185) v. #2(MW) Kenfucky (2:40, CBS)

The Ashley Judd crowd shots get more and more meh by the year.  Such is the relentless march of time.  Oh, and Wofford gon’ die.

#10(W) Florida (+6.5, +240) v. #2(W) Michigan (5:15, CBS)

The ghost of many Citrus Bowls’ past says HAI.  First match-up of the day that should actually lead to competitive, fun hoopsball.  Or if not, at least you don’t have to watch this 2nd half.

#12(W) Murray State (+4.5, +165) v. #4(W) Florida State (6:10, TNT)

BAND MEETING!

Also, I really like both of these sides.  THIS should have been a full national selection.

#9(W) Baylor (+14, +950) v. #1(W) Gonzaga (7:10, TBS)

Stupid SillyCuse, YOU were supposed to be here, and YOU were supposed to take down Tallest Midget Gonzaga.  BayBay?  This will just not do.

#10 (MW) Minnesota (+10.5, +475) v. #2(MW) Michigan State (7:45, CBS)

Am I boldly predicting an upset here?

#6(S) Villanova (+3.5, +155) v. #3(S) Purdue (8:40, TNT)

Is it an upset if 90% of viewers and analysts expect it to happen?  A bit esoteric, but I trust y’all to handle the academic rigor.

#5(MW) Auburn (-2.5, -145) v. #4(MW) Kansas (9:40, TBS)

Will the last one up PLEASE remember to load the dishwasher and turn off the lights?  Also, FUCK KANSAS.  And FUCK BILL SELF.
