Path to Minneapolis:
72-57 over No. 14 Northern Kentucky
78-58 over No. 6 Buffalo
63-44 over No. 2 Michigan
75-69 over No. 1 Gonzaga

Biggest Strength:
Great all around defense

Texas Tech was on a warpath through their first three rounds. They won each game in dominant fashion, by at least a 15-point margin. Everyone anticipated such against Northern Kentucky, but no one was anticipating the Red Raiders walking through Buffalo and Michigan like they did.

Virginia Cavaliers

Record:
33-3, No. 1 seed in South Regional

Path to Minneapolis:
71-56 over No. 16 Gardner-Webb
63-51 over No. 9 Oklahoma
53-49 over No. 12 Oregon

Biggest Strength:
Great ability to adjust their offense according to their matchup

It hasn’t been an easy ride for Virginia, but with this team that just means they’re building grit for the trip to Minnesota. The Cavaliers were down 28-14 in the first half against Gardner-Webb, squeezed through a defensive battle against Oregon and needed a last-second miracle to force overtime against Purdue.

Auburn forced turnovers better than any other NCAA team this season. This last week the Tigers recorded at least 10 steals for the 18th time this year. They now stand at 27-2 when they have at least eight steals throughout the course of the contest. An impressive mark that they have hit in each contest during their current 12-game winning streak.

For the first time in 72 games, a stretch that dates back to the 2017-18 season opener, Michigan State recorded at least 11 steals in a single contest. The Spartans finished plus-10 in turnover margin against one of the best turnover-forcing defenses in the country.

  1. I HATE GOD GOD IS AWFUL FUCK JESUS FUCK SCHOOL FUCK ME AND MY BULLSHIT

    Greetings,

    Please allow me to share some extremely significant information that has been going throughout the internet relevant to our future security.

    We’re coming to a future of a one world cashless society in which they will mandate us to receive an RFID microchip inserted in our body. This chip will contain our information and we will lose much more of our privacy due to the tracking capabilities.

    Even bigger news, did you know that this was all foretold around two thousand years ago by a major historical figure named Jesus? Don’t believe me? Continue reading to see… This may be the most important article you will ever read.

    • “And he(the false prophet) causes everyone— the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves— that they should give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and that no one should be able to buy or to sell except the one having the mark: the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let the one having understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And his number is six-hundred sixty six” (Revelation 13:16-18 DLNT)…

    Because God is Holy and just, the wrath that belongs to us could not go unnoticed. Because of the perfect righteousness and justice of God’s character, it ought to be dealt with, it must be quenched and satisfied.

    For God takes no pleasure in the demise of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). That is why in Isaiah chapter 53, the place it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it satisfied God to crush His only begotten Son.

    This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. For if it were to be poured out upon us who have earned it, we would all perish and go to hell. God created a means of escape by pouring it out on His Son who’s soul could not be left in Hades, however was raised and seated on the right hand of God in power.

    So now after we put on the Lord Jesus Chris=
