It’s another NCAA Tournament without the Syracuse Orange and while some fans won’t be watching, we know many of you will be tuning in so feel free to use this to discuss Friday’s games.

How can today’s slate match what we saw from yesterday? Does Michigan State win so that Rothstein can keep the January/February/Izzo/April memes alive? Can the Tar Heels embark on their own “Apology Tour” by knocking off Chris Beard’s Ole Miss squad? Will we get a second round Florida vs UConn game and an inevitable Dan Hurley quip about sliding in the DM’s of co-eds?
