Offical NCAA Tournament thread

I'll be stunned if LSU gets any favorable whistles down the stretch

You wont be stunned - the refs just called a horrific charge against LSU with the UM player moving his feet and blocking him. Announcers are goign nuts on how bad a call it was in UM's favor.

[Norm]

And another ticky tack foul called against LSU before the 3 minute time out.

[tower912]

They haven't for a while.

NCAA protecting their most powerful conference from losing another high seed against a program with significant investigations and infractions seems too obvious if it's a coin flip

[PGsHeroes32]

The over was an absolute lock in this one. Easy money.

Leonard Hamilton in a walking boot. Is he making a run at the MU job?

[wisblue]

It's kind of amusing watching otherwise indifferent haters root unabashedly for a notorious cheater.

Michigan won't be apologizing for overcoming the loss of their top player to join Gonzaga as the only programs to make the last 4 Sweet Sixteens.

I chuckled.

Barring a miracle, the Pac12 is about to finally suffer a loss.

Pretty sure Wagner played and played pretty well

Well, this has been the least entertaining day of the tournament - by far!  2 "upsets" (by seed), but those weren't close games either.

(yes, I'm counting out KU)

This is quite the beatdown by USC. I assume USC will take their foot off the gas at some point but up to 35 point lead now.

Do not mind seeing Jayhawks get crushed after that drubbing in the Final Four in 2003.

USC 6 Oregon 7 same half of same region is terrible committee bracket work.

Wow!!  Here is a list of people upset that Kansas is getting hammered:

[Dish]

Hot take: Mobley gets drafted ahead of Cade.

[MuggsyB]

So there are more BEast teams in the S16 than B14 teams?

Hot take: Mobley gets drafted ahead of Cade.

+1

Yikes on this quote from Mark Turgeon:

"We're not a Final Four team. Come on, let's be real. ... A lot of teams would kill to be where we were."

[GooooMarquette]

That was a very thorough a$$–whipping. Love to see KU go down big like that.

Oof! That's the kind of thing you might expect from a mid-major coach after a couple of surprise wins. It will not play well in College Park.

Texas and their well-oiled $$ jerk alums losing to a hyphen? Check
Illinois and their ever-whining/blaming annoying fans lose? Check
Wisconsin and their annoying everything lose? Check
The BigTen14 is almost completely eliminated? Check
Arrogant blue-bloods KU, UK, Duke brought down about ten levels in 2021? Check
Hit the sweet $268 $1 exacta multiple times in Gulfstream's 8th Sunday? Check.
TheBigEast still with a shot at glory? Check.
Am I dreaming?

Sounds like something Mike Deane might have said.

[The Sultan]

Wait....the S16 isn't being played until the weekend?  E8 on Monday and Tuesday?

Damn.
