    Just sharing some information here. They're not gonna let the HBCU bow out in the first round without getting some press after this past year. Too easy of a ratings grab. Imagine all the athletes and rappers shouting them out on Twitter after they win tonight, saying how they'll be rooting for them, especially against one of the whitest schools in the country, Gonzaga. Texas Southern is also an HBCU but no one cares about them or that game in general.

      What is App State, a 1 point fave? Not like it's a stretch to say Norfolk State could win this without help.

        OK, we'll see. You've seen App St play, you haven't seen Norfolk St play. Books know that. I'll also clarify a mistake in the title that they're not the only HBCU in the tourney as Texas Southern also is, but again no one cares about that game. Norfolk St has visibility already with their Kyle O'Quinn upset over Mizzou.

          I care I have Tx Southern and the sparts are tough hence only a small play on App St. My larger plays are the REAL spartans and SMU

                You're right, not over. Expecting them to blow it now but I did hedge with App St +8.5 so looking good either way.

                    The angle was that Norfolk State was every bit as good as App State and always had a shot at victory here. Not the story you concocted (lol). Hey, you won. All that matters.

                      Trust me, it's the angle I concocted, but thanks.

                        Can't wait to see the robust ratings for that Gonzaga/Norfolk St. matchup. G/l, chargers.

                          Not all about ratings, more about narrative. You see the whole NBA All Star Game was about HBCUs. There was an irrelevant headline about HBCUs on ESPN yesterday. That's the angle.
