Yeah, Michigan got their poopholes pounded a bit by the officials, but when you let a team shoot like that, don't box out, and don't rebound well, you're not going to win regardless.
Ahhhhh.... ESPN must be scrambling right now to explain this...

Kinda funny, isn't it? Upsets are what make the tourney so exciting, yet when they happen we're all pizzed because our brackets die a miserable death...
This. So true. I had to share this quote on facebook.
When I was filling out my brackets I was trying to decide which #2 seed would lose in the round of 32. I never expected 2 of them to not even make it (and we still have one more 2 seed that has to play yet!)
No. Jay Bilas will sob for about 20 minutes, and then the ESPN magpies will slobber-knob the underdogs for the rest of the weekend.
It's next weekend when they don't know what to do.
The first weekend is always about the underdogs. The Sweet 16 weekend is where they want to talk about the big boys.
The world is so much different with duke gone... I like bilas... I think he tries to be pretty fair and comes across, to me, as a reasonable broker. The big 2-15 upsets made a splash but there wasn't a multitude of upsets... The next two days will say more about Cinderellas within the field... But we didn't see a lot from the rest of the field in terms of first round shocks. At least as far as I can tell.

Jerseys I would like to have:
Skating Friar Jersey
AIC Yellowjacket Jersey w/ Yellowjacket logo on front
UAF Jersey w/ Polar Bear on Front
Army Black Knight logo jersey
I was the only person in my pool to pick Lehigh. 3 of us picked Ohio.
To be fair, I did not actually think that would happen, I just wanted it to happen. But that bracket's not looking too bad right now, because it's one of the few that didn't have Missouri, Duke or Michigan going far.
edit: oops. I didn't know Temple lost when I posted that. Still, I went from #34 (dead last) to #7 with those 2 picks.
Draymond Green ****ed around and got a triple double.
Today was a good day.
He didn't even have to use his AK.

funny how pressure impacts teams and players...all year ND has been walk it down, set the offense, use up the shot clock and get a decent shot. When they need one basket to win the game with 20 something seconds left, their point guard tries a half court pass to a guy not even suspecting that could happen.
Now, that lane violation appeared to be complete BS to me. After the bucket goes in the ref says a guy crossed the 3 point line, the announcer said it was before the ball was shot, which i don't think was the case but they didn't show it again after he said that. if it was after the ball was shot, once it went in the play was dead so it wasn't like the guy came over the line and got a rebound, he could have just come up and high fived the shooter, is that a violation too?
I believe in life, and I believe in love, but the world in which I live in keeps trying to prove me wrong.

It's the guy on the far side of the three point line to start the video. I feel like people aren't seeing it (me included until I looked at it again this morning) because he moved in so fast that it seems he was in the lane to begin with. He ran in as soon as the ball was released. As we learned in the Asheville-Cuse game and the UConn-Iowa State game the ball needs to hit the him before the shooter can cross the free throw line or someone outside the three point line can enter the circle.
