Samford got hosed big time vs Kansas. That "foul" at the end of the game was all ball, wow!

That #5, Langborg, for Northwestern is one bad white boy! Looks like they’re fixing to knock Florida Atlantic out of the tournament.

 

[tejasrulz]

Colorado 102 - Florida 100, heck of an ending! #1 for Florida is a stud!

 

[tejasrulz]

Another wild ending as Yale beats Auburn 78-76!

The $ec has only won 1 game (Tennessee) I believe

That was a bad call, but the basketball gods (and refs) smile down on Kansas. Did you know they have won seventeen straight 1st round games?

Getting calls like that don’t hurt your chances of winning!

The SEC has cost me a lot of points in my brackets. Kentucky then Florida and now Auburn. RT just might be successful in this conference.

 

[Baron]

Only 10 perfect brackets remain out of 22M plus on ESPN.

Zags are taking Jay Hawks to the woodshed.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

We played a helluva game. I pretty much thought we'd lose, and if you have to lose, then this was the way you want to do it – going down fighting.

A tip of the cap to the seniors as this was their final game as Longhorns.

 

[tejasrulz]

Don’t look now but aggy is playing Houston pretty tough.

 

[tejasrulz]

aggy hit a 3 at the buzzer to send the game into OT. Houston losing would end my chance for my bracket.

 

[tejasrulz]

Houston over aggy in OT, 100-95. If my memory is correct, Houston beat them by 5 during the regular season also.

 

[tejasrulz]

My bracket is limping badly. I had Arizona losing in the NC game and beating Iowa St in the semi's.

Mine too. Who in the world would have picked Clemson over Baylor and Arizona? If Gonzaga and Creighton win tonight my bracket is a dumpster fire.

 

[tejasrulz]

With Houston losing, my bracket is officially dead.
