Kansas puts up the largest lead of the tourney on 'Nova at 45-40...then the 'Cats blitz them with a 10-0 run. Great game right now. Hope the city can quiet down for the next 30 minutes or so.

Damn...caught a run with 2:58 to play. Missed the end, but at least I came back to see Daniel Ochefu wearing a Final Four hat. How was the finish?

Jay Wright saying all the right things. Never disliked the guy like I did Pitino and others of his showboating ilk. Glad they're in the BE. I'm even coming around to Arcidiacono!

Good D by Nova forced a couple of TOs, and Nova hit FTs down the stretch (Arch 4-4 and Hart 2-2).

Sorry, we can't investigate Villanova ripping your heart out of your chest, the crime occurred outside our jurisdiction.

Villanova's win is huge for the Big East. The conference's first participant in the Final Four since realignment. Breakthrough moment.

The Big East imploded, started over from scratch and still got back to the Final Four before the Pac-12.

Speaking of jurisdiction, maybe Nova losing the 1 seed and the accompanying Philly regional final was actually  a blessing in disguise. There was less pressure playing in Louisville, and probably a bit of familiarity re travel and hotel as well. So happy for the classiest program in the BigEast!

I hope a big chunk of time between now and November is spent on breaking the press. It's killed several teams this tournament, and we saw how much MU struggled this past season. Also wouldn't mind seeing our own press come out at times next year.

On the Monday after Selection Sunday, Syracuse was 300-1 to win the national title and 30-1 to win the Midwest Regional.

That was crazy.  Great press, tightened up the zone and 23 goes bonkers. Still hate Boeheim, but good coaching job.

Mike Brey is wearing a walking boot. 

I think this seals their fate

Watched the game at a BWW in Charlottesville. Got rally quiet.

Beachum just tried to do a Dwade vs ECU.  Wade took off outside the lane so that was more impressive.
Still a nice dunk for a guy from ND

God, I thought we were bad on boob plays.

Gotta get better on the boob plays.   Need to have a b, c, d, dd option.  know what to do if there is sagging to the middle.

A bettor laid down $100 on Syracuse at the Westgate when they were 1000 to 1!
