Coach K was worried we'd make it to the ship and play MSU... Glad to see the committee gave them an awesome 15 so that wouldn't happen!!!

A lot of brackets just got destroyed.

Really though, there were no outstanding teams this year and everybody was calling for an insane Tournament this year. So this isn't a terrible surprise, rather a nice one!

Can't we get some commentators that see the game like the fans do? I mean crap, at least mention the fact that the Iowa center pushed the Temple guy in the back with two extended arms. It's pathetic that we get this low level of commentary. I can't believe I'm saying this, but give me Walton and Van Gundy. At least they acknowledge reality. Verne is on Mars.

edit - Wow, they finally say something after the producer tells them too.

Do we have those terrible "always reppin" shirts, or do we still have "here comes Duke"?

I've been sitting in a bar all afternoon and sucking on malty beverages. My observations (coming from a bit of a fog)....

-Syracuse played really well. Doesn't that always happen, though? The team who no one "thinks" should be there goes and destroys an opponent.
-Michigan State....wow. When they fell behind 15-2 all of us at the bar just assumed they'd make a big run, it'd be close at half, and then MSU would force their will on them. Still can't believe it, to be honest.
-Iowa got lucky. They did everything they could to give that game away. Everything. They're going to be a tough out for Nova.
-Maryland can be the really good team they looked like for 30 minutes today, or the team that inexplicitly implodes like the last 10 minutes.

From three of the first four sessions this is all I've gathered....its wide open and no team is safe at this point.

Didn't care for Sulaiman's dunk at the end of that game. Just had to run it out.

Pitt is going to cough this up.

Ugly game. Isn't there some stat out there that Pitt is like 0-10 when they score under 65 this season? If so, they're going to need this one to go four OTs to have a chance.

Wisconsin scored 16 points in the first half.

Also, if WVU is the 3 seed, UNCheaters can never complain about the ease of anyone else's bracket.

Also, I thought sliding on the floor with the ball was a travel. Never seems to get called anymore.

Only if you get up after sliding. That was pointed out in one of the other games I watched. Which one? Who knows? They are all staring to blend together.

WVU is like Baylor: very athletic, undisciplined, and lacking basketball players.

Make them shoot jumpshots and they are very beatable.
