We're four games in and already two three seeds down, and Notre Dame just barely survived Northeastern. Dude from Georgia State hit a three pointer from about 40 feet out with two seconds left that caused the coach (also his dad) to fall down off his stool.

These are my two favorite days of the year.

I've been home sick today so I got to see the 2 big upsets. Fun stuff.

Man I went to a different game instead of staying for the end of the Baylor game. I thought that game was done. Shame.

Good, Larry Brown deserved to lose for saying Kentucky could make the NBA playoffs

Goaltending on a 3 pointer. What a way to be eliminated from the tournament.

Fro

I thought it was probably the right call but there should be some rule where if it's clearly not going in it should be waived, like how pass interference is waived if the ball is uncatchable

The Law

That is part of the rule, that the shot has to have a chance to go in. It looked like it was clearly going to be an air ball, so I think it was the wrong call.

Looked like it was going to be a crazy first day after the first few games, but things settled down. Still, two #3 seeds losing is big. That hadn't happened since 1997. Some really great games today with the Georgia State shot, Purdue and Cinci going to OT, NC State making a big comeback and winning at the buzzer.

Great game. Grant for Notre Dame was trying to do way too much by himself at the end.

Not much to do with six seconds. Kentucky knows the Lattener move. It sucks for Notre Dame to go down on a cheap call, but they pretty much showed the world how to beat Kentucky.

Notre Dame was benefiting from cheap calls all game.

Both games tonight, in fact, the refs should have swallowed the whistles more often.

Should've passed it to the inbounder, he had a better shot down the court.

Can't speak for the Kentucky/ND game, but that Wisconsin/Arizona game was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen.

I put a little dough on Gonzaga +2.5 today. Fuck Duke

Chris Dolmeth

Yeah, fuck 'em!

Gonzaga is really good, probably the best team Mark Few has had.

Fuck all y'all. I've supported Duke for a long time and shit half the stereotypes about Duke aren't even true anymore.

Notre dame going down on cheap calls in basketball and football. Shitty deal.

Duke is fantastic and Christian Laettner can forever rest on his laurels.

If Duke makes it through Michigan State and Kentucky does what we expect them to do then Duke is really in trouble. There were far too many stretches in that game where Duke couldn't buy a field goal and this was against a Gonzaga team not known for its defending. Against Kentucky that type of play won't fly at all.

Izzo vs. Coach K is always a good match up.

The Law

Should have known better to than to doubt Izzo at this point. Nowhere near a vintage MSU team, but they've come together at the right time.

Izzo is like 1-9 all-time against Coach K, but maybe this is the year he improbably bucks that trend.

I'm not a Duke hater at all, and I don't typically have strong feelings one way or the other about them.

But fuck Duke.

I had Tom to the Izzo going to the Elite 8 and even then I felt uneasy. They could win the whole thing and people shouldn't be surprised by that. His players are that great.

Apparently, he was a lead recruiter for Tyus Jones and Emeka Okafor, so there's that as well.

Remember this? Did you realize it was DJ Peter Rosenberg, co-host of Cheap Heat, who wrote it?

Yes I remember it from when I posted it in here about 10 posts up lol. But yea I first came to know Peter Rosenberg from his spoof videos ("throw some cheese on it" being the other big one) but now he's like a well known obnoxious Jewish DJ with a radio show and podcast

Got the final four right, but need Kentucky to win it all to win money. Still pulling for wisconsin to win it though, hell with the money!

They didn't play the best, but that reffing was horrid. Again.

Pablo Diablo

The real miss call was that out of bounds call where it clearly went off Winslow's finger, I have no idea how small a monitor they must have been looking at to not see that.

But that was a classic. Was close from beginning to the end. Tyus Jones playing big in the biggest games, nothing new for him. Grayson Allen coming out of nowhere to almost single handedly bring Duke back into the game.

I'm really interested to see how Kaminsky will play in the NBA. I'm not as sold on Okafor being the number 1/2 pick, I definitely would put him behind Towns at the moment. There are times though when Okafor has looked so smooth on the offensive end though so I guess it's that promise that will help him.

Chris Dolmeth

Just seemed like Wisconsin forgot how to play offense with like five minutes left.
