NCAA Tournament 2015

[willie warrior]

Surprised by the no call to end the Louisville game, especially when there was definite contact and intent to foul. Pitino got away with one. FWIW I think UL would have won even if the call had been made.

Yup--the storied programs do get the calls. Saw something similar yesterday at the end of the No Dick game.

It will be interesting to see what kind of calls Wisconsin gets this tournament. Bo's incessant whining and berating has cowed Big 10 officials. Interested to see how unfamiliar refs respond to that.

Valpo, just like Northeastern, wasted 30 full seconds with a chance to tie and couldn't even get a shot off.
Glad to see the Indiana fall because well, It's Indiana.

Twenty straight victories by the lower seeded team! Well done committee!

But yesterday was more fun.

And looks like it'll be broken by Dayton beating Providence.  What a poopy day.

Between the refs and the off day for Henton and Dunn, yuck!

And putting the last at-large team in the tourney in their home state, also yuck!

Watch UW on 'D' and then watch MU on 'D' - you'll easily see why UW gets the calls they do.

UW fouls with body and not the arms. Which=a lot less foul calls

[forgetful]

Did anyone else hear three UW players yell "What" when Hayes clearly fouled a guy and was called for it?

[RushmoreAcademy]

I really hate seeing Steve Alford having success of any kind.   UCLA seems to be clicking today though. 
Let's go UAB.

Was not high on PC before the brackets were released.  After the draw I fully expected Dayton to take care of them.

Now we get to watch Dayton take on a Oklahoma team I think they can beat and potentially get matched up with Nova. That will turn out to be the game that Nova three's stop falling. Onward with Dayton.

Great. Can't wait

Man, how UCLA got into the tournament is still baffling when you look at their best wins, worst losses, and conference record in a pretty watered down Pac-10.

Interestingly, they played UAB in late November this year, too (won 88-76, which was pretty darn close to the 92-75 final today).

P.S. Didn't watch the game, but imagine they touched on their previous match-up, too.

It was pretty much the first thing they mentioned.  Their previous match up was the 7th place game in the Battle for Atlantis.

Thanks. Hmm, I wonder why they even had a game for 7th place. Oh wait, I remember.

X seizes their opportunity, first BE team in the Sweet 16.  Nova down at half.  Georgetown has come out looking great vs. Utah.

[brewcity77]

Assuming RJ Hunter doesn't go all RJ Hunter on them.

[4everwarriors]

Guess 'Nova will start hearin' the " overrated" chant pretty quick now, ai na?

[brewcity77]

Nova looks awful. Jay Wright won't undo his March choker resume with his team playing like this.

[Blackhat]

Meh.   My bracket could use a Nova loss.   Never was a big believer in them despite MU making them look like the '88 Lakers.

Live by the three and die by the three--except when they play us!!!

[chapman]

Georgetown crapped away their 11 point lead in half the time it took to build it.  Tied at half.

[nyg]

Like 6 for 22 from three so far and 25% from field, getting pounded on the boards also. Still time, but thats how Nova rolled this year.

Ayup.  3 point shooting teams never seem to last long in the tournament.

[4everwarriors]

That's 'cuz it's a big man's game, hey?
