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.

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.
Re: March Madness 2012
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.

Re: March Madness 2012
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?

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.

Unlike the NBA, the ball needs to hit rim before a guy can cross the three point line. I caught it before the ref did. Correct call, if somewhat gutsy that late in the game.

Re: March Madness 2012
Even worse than the ND play was the kid from St. Mary's who just needed to inbound the ball with his team in the lead with 20 seconds left and forgot that you're not allowed to run the baseline after a turnover.

Re: March Madness 2012
gutsy isn't what i'd call it...it had no bearing on the play and there were 2.8 seconds left in a, then one point, ncaa game. What was his next call going to be, coach stepping out on the floor or too much pine tar on the bat?

Re: March Madness 2012
Oh Bloody Hell!!!
I think mine is down in the bottom .5% over there on ESPN. I think the only way I really could have done worse this year would have been to call for all 4 sixteen seeds to win. Only thing I got going for me is that I at least still have 2 of the final four left.
