ACC getting embarrassed again.

4 teams in the Sweet Sixteen isn’t awful...

Two #1s fail to make the sweet 16. Has that ever happened before?

Update: 4x since 1979

I'll be honest about the UMBC game. I flipped it off after about 7 missed baskets in a row at 34-33. If it were not in a tournament, then it would have been unwatchable.

it was a horrible game in terms of game play. K-State was shut out for the first five minutes. If UMBC shot anywhere near where they were against UVA they would have won that game.

One of the other games yesterday, I can't recall which one, featured 24 missed 3 pointers by one team.

I was about to say that I could do that if I played NCAA hoops, but I'm guessing I would not be able to get off 24 3 pointers between the steals and strips with any good defense.

Unlike the MD guy (Trimble) from a few years ago, Young knows when the gettin' is good.

I haven't heard about the kid in Arizona. Are they paying him too much for him to leave, or is he coming out?

30 for 30 on Christian Laettner is fantastic.

Whoever set up the south regional bracket needs to find a new line of work.

Kentucky goes down. 9 vs 11 to go to Final Four. Crazy.

Michigan is the only higher seed to win in tonight’s four games. Gonzaga about to get ousted by FSU.

Have Michigan and Villanova in the final. That could still work out. Almost no one has the team that will come out of that regions. Hope Syracuse can win tonight.

I had Duke beating Gonzaga in one bracket, and Villanova beating Gonzaga in my WNFF bracket. Sigh...

They said Villanova had the easiest path of the one seeds. But turned out its the hardest. Have to beat a five seed and then either the two or three seed.

Great because Villanova won.

Syracuse giving the Dookies a battle.

Go Texas Tech.

Maybe. Duke is stronger than Texas Tech. But WV was much better than Clemson.
Need your Michigan guys to make the final.
