Oh wait I went outside to get lung cancer - Buzz got a T?!?!?

Refs made a good call, called a charge and waived off the made bucket by a VPI player...Robinson's 5th. Bazz went off, got the T.

Iffy charge call after everyone in the stadium thought it was a game changing and one. Not sure if buzz went absolutely ballistic.

That will do it for Sean Miller at Arizona I would say.

God Arizona sucks. Almost had a perfect first day if it weren't for them. Luckily I had them getting bounced by Kentucky in the next round.

Looked like a good call to me.

I wonder if the NCAA specifically underseeded Arizona in order to be able to match them against a good 13-seed.

*Scratches head through tinfoil hat

Based on how they played, Arizona was over-seeded.

Yep. Hard to whine about your seeding when you lose by 21 to a 13 seed....

Disagree. VPI player was in the air long before Bama player was set in position. Slid under VPI guy after he was in the air. Was set when VPI guy was on his way down.

Should have been a no call, at worst.

Buzz drew up back to back turnovers out of a timeout. Our board would be going nuts if Wojo did that once down the stretch.

What tournament was Buzz playing in?

You watch VaTech and Bama game, and you realize we still have a ways to go. Need A LOT more strength and athleticism in the program. Hell of a game.

Strength will come with time in the weight room. Young team, after all.

Not sure on athleticism - if it will come or if it's needed. Those WI teams or Butler teams in Final Fours weren't super athletic

Since the formation of the Big 12 in 1996/97, no power conference has ever failed to send a team to the round of 32...until tonight.

Whether Miller is there or not next year, Zona is going to be really really bad next season. It could be a while before Zona is good again (this is independent of any wrong doings).

Matt Howard was slow as molasses

Could start another thread about this...

How good is Sean Miller as a head coach? Allegedly got his talent by cheating. Even if he didn't cheat for it, I wouldn't say he's done as expected relative to the talent on his teams.

Butler Forward, all NCAA Tournament team. Slow as molasses, but was still a college star. At least I think that is what he meant.

Yup, one of those players who you never could understand how they were as good as they were.

Ha. Couldn't tell if you were talking about the Butler player. Or if you confused Markus and Heldt. Or if you meant they were both slow and had improved their speed/quickness.

Which brings up an interesting question. Who would be on your all-time "non-athletic" all tournament team. I think he makes the list, along with:

Adam Morrison?

Who else?

Funny, but I was watching the same play and saw a Bama player planted when the Tech player took off.

Agree to disagree, I guess.

Edit: FWIW, Buzz admits not seeing the play well because he had a towel in his face...and that "someone he trusts" later told him it was a charge.
