Quite often you see two 10+ seeds in the second round. Not even close this year. Colorado State was the cream of the P5 crop. It really sucks not having Cinderellas. I have a hard time including Calipari-coached Arkansas as one, but he is the longest shot remaining. ** Edited by TDVick at 3/26/2025, 11:46:45 AM

So is this an anomaly or indicative of the fact that NIL has changed things -- HokieSA Mar 26, 2025 at 08:55 AM ET

IMHO, it is not an anomaly. -- Walkin` Willie Mar 26, 2025 at 10:50 AM ET

Ha..when Calipari is the closest Cinderella, we know something's amiss.. -- VT757to276 Mar 26, 2025 at 08:43 AM ET

I think Miss, TXTC, MD, Tenn cover the spread. I expect Miss to win -- TDVick Mar 26, 2025 at 08:48 AM ET
