that teams from the same conference can’t play each other in the first two rounds.

They probably got sued...
…for making people morbidly obese with a sandwich that was literally too perfect to pass up.
That said, if you’re on Beale Street, you should go to Dyer’s anyway. The 80-year old vat of grease makes the best burgers in the history of history.

Remember that KSU game in '98...
…where they couldn’t miss and every shot they took rimmed out…we were playing well, and we were down 15…and then we stopped playing well, and suddenly we were down 35? I’m not saying we’re going to lose by 55, but this game has kinda set up like that so far…gotta keep hustling and hope that the rims on that end are just as ridiculously rigid for Illinois in the second half…
