•(1) Twisters vs. Bison (4): Bison put a plug in Black Gold. Texas Tea and Bubbling Crude could not be reached for comment.
• (11) Rattlers vs. Thunder (2): Thunder got the most votes out of the regional, not the Twisters juggernaut.
Wayman Tisdale Regional
• (1) Barons vs. (4) Lightning: Kasey Moody's sweet illustration has given the Barons a leg up. Black and gold the way to go.
• (11) Roughriders vs. (2) Sonics: Roughriders torpedoed the Mustangs. Sweet mascot idea — Inflatable Teddy Roosevelt.
Chris Paul Regional
• (1) Thunderbirds vs. (4) Boomers: This is the matchup of the tournament so far — a quality nickname vs. OU fandom.
• (6) Coyotes vs. (10) Navigators: Navigators benefit from fans bailing on Scissortails. Really, though, Navigators?
Desmond Mason Regional
• (1) Outlaws vs. (5) Cyclones: Outlaws recall Oklahoma's stint in the USFL. In 1984, that team went 6-12. Aim high.
• (11) Renegades vs. (2) Stallions: Stallions holding strong. Sweet mascot idea — Inflatable Rocky Balboa.
