There is some speculation in the comments section of the most recent blog entry at SFI that Mussman's tweet may be related to a locker room/meeting room renovation at Memorial Stadium.

Am I imagining things, or didn't there used to be only one or two "play-in" game(s)--to determine who was a 16-seed? I kind of miss the "good old days" when there were 64 teams, period.

No. I'm going to speculate that some kind of big news happened yesterday, but the actual announcement of it will come from the athletic department in the near future rather than from Mussman himself?

You are correct. But the point still stands.

Nine double-digit seeds have advanced to the second round. And yes, I realize the NCAA wants us to only refer to the two play-in games as the "first round", but I refuse to believe any tournament can have 64 teams with a first round bye.

Crazy--Lehigh just beat Duke. Another 15 over a 2.

Norfolk wins. For just the fifth time, a 15-seed has beaten a 2. First time since 2001.

Great game going on right now between Missouri and Norfolk St. 15-seed Norfolk is up 4 with 3:23 to play.

No, and I've been checking often.

Coach Mussman tweeted today: "Big day for UND football. More later." Any ideas to what he's referring?

I haven't listened to the oral arguments, but I'm a bit surprised that after Durick made the above-quoted statement, apparently no justice asked him point blank why the legislature repealed the statute in the first place? Wasn't the repeal enough proof that the legislature believed the threat to UND was very real?

I'm thinking Al Carlson could sign an affidavit. Or maybe he's forgotten about a certain trip to Indianapolis and why the legislature backtracked in the first place?

Congrats to Mollberg and Labat for leading Detroit Lakes to the state basketball tournament, defeating Fergus Falls tonight in section final.

It sounds like NDSU has rounded out its schedule with Prairie View A & M (and will pay about a $200k guarantee).

I wonder if the teams were actually seeded based upon anything other than maybe throwing darts at a board? I don't see much of a difference between the resumes of UND and Seattle.

I think a good case could be made for Mitchell, Anderson, Webb or Huff for team mvp.

Could be a pretty favorable matchup for the Griz. Badgers always tough defensively, but I don't see them having enough offensive firepower to blow anybody out. If Montana shoots well, upset not out of the question.

SDSU is a 14 seed and will play Baylor. Montana gets 13 seed and will play Wisco.

Congrats to RR for winning state. Arvidson played really well. I don't think I've seen a high school kid who gets more elevation on his jump shot.

Sounds like there may be a chance for UND to host a first round CIT game. According to a Tom Miller tweet, UND is at least pursuing it.

UND really needs to get some production off the bench today, which essentially means Schuler and Antwi both need to score at least six points each. Anything received from the other bench players is gravy.
