Was very interested in the NC State/Texas game but that's just dumb to play that late.

I wasn't going to do it but I went to ESPN and filled out two brackets. In one I have UK losing to Virginia in the Sweet 16 and losing to Michigan in the Elite 8 in the other. I wanted to have one with UK winning but it felt stupid to pick us to beat Michigan; maybe I'll have to fill out a couple more brackets. 
In each bracket I have some upsets. I have only Florida and Michigan making the Final 4 among the #1 seeds and I have Duke losing in the 2nd round and Alabama, UT, and Gonzaga losing in the first round, as well as another I can't recall at the moment.

Congrats to Howard
UMBC guard had a good look at it from about 38 feet

Got to love the 20-25 second delay if you were watching ESPN scoreboard you knew the game was over well before the FT miss even took place.
I understand they want a couple second delay but 20 is a joke.

Real good look! What an awesome first game of the tourney! Hopefully more of those to come (other than our game(s)).
I hope this is a preview of what's to come.
Also glad to see a MEAC school get another NCAA Tournament victory. Coppin State, Hampton when they were a member of the MEAC and Norfolk State own some of my favorite upsets.

Mashburn does the halftime and between games stuff. He just brought up on air how Dickie V and Barkley worked a game in Rupp earlier this season and then asked Charles what can we do to fix Kentucky basketball
Barkley got a deer in the headlights look when Mashburn asked that question.
Could tell he really wanted to say something but decided to keep it to himself
Props to Mashburn for bringing it up, Charles wasn't touching that.
I thought it was very telling that someone professional like Mashburn would ask something like that publicly. If that doesn’t signal to people this hasn’t been good so far I don’t know what will
Rough year for him but I think he'd do well with the right backing
You ever notice Kentucky is never in March Madness commercials? Kansas, UCLA, Duke, even Indiana. But you never see UK.

... I agree with him 10000% !!!
