Muppet half time show rocks!

Wow! when an elite team like OU plays lights out, it's amazing.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

OU is so good. Hield has the Kemba Walker effect with his team right now. Would love to see Nova pull it out tonight.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Oregon putting torpedo 1 in my bracket. 

[GGGG]

Feel good for Lon Kruger.  Not the greatest coach in college basketball history, but has won wherever he has been.

[GooooMarquette]

Hield was en fuego!

Got one team in the FF.  Now let's go Nova!

This Oklahoma team all year has reminded me of Marquette in 2003. One huge star surrounded by lots of solid supporting pieces. Like Marquette, they reached the Final Four, and like Marquette, they may face Kansas once they get there.

If KU makes it, a replay of that OU-KU game in December would be fun...but I'd like a different ending.

Loving Oklahoma. They have me first in the scoop bracket challenge

Jay Wright really needs to get rid of that old wide pin striped suit.  Must be 15 years old.

Man, Oklahoma is fun to watch & Buddy isn't human right now. Coach Kruger has done an impressive job here.

I also wish they didn't offer Theo John a couple weeks ago

I was thinking a guard heavy 3 fest versus Nova would be insane....but I think either would be fun.

Loose handles by Hart and Jenkins.  Ochefu looks good - needs to avoid second foul.

Nova's on their heels, reminiscent of Oregon earlier today and IU last night. If they can't flip that, could get ugly quick.

Don't think Jay has any suit older than 2 years he could lose the tie clip IMO.

Fortunately, Nova's defense looks pretty good so far.  Offense rough.  Taking some bad shots.

Yeah, he may be the only guy not to get the memo that tie clips died 25 years ago.

'Nova looking very good right now. Playing a very smart game. This is the best anyone has looked against Kansas thus far. I think 'Nova and Oklahoma would make an entertaining rematch. VU hung with the Sooners for a half before getting blasted in the second. The way they're playing tonight, they could stick with anyone.

[Eldon]

Let's go Nova!! Looking good on this run

Did what they needed to do! Hope they can keep it up in the 2H, really need a FF rep from the BEast

[GooooMarquette]

Huge 3 by Jenkins at the end.  Stole back the momentum going into halftime.

[BrewCity83]

Nova held Kansas to 25 in the first half.  That's some D!

[forgetful]

After a first half that I thought was one of the better officiated games I can remember, the 2nd half has been officiated pretty terrible.

Both calls against Jenkins were BS.

[jesmu84]

Ellis getting all the calls in the second half. Weird

[Norm]

Refs have totally helped KU in the 2nd half - every call going against VU.

[GGGG]

Kansas playing better and faster.  Refs have little to do with that.
