I suck...Belmont totally choked...that kid totally choked. You are taught when you are 5 not to pickup your dribble. And what does he do...he picked up his dribble with less than 10 seconds. UGH.

Yes. Rolled the dice. LSU is a hot mess. But in the end talent won out.

I considered it for a quick minute, but moved on quickly. I can see them losing to Maryland, but I think they get past that too. Have them ending post Maryland.

Morant from Murray State is pretty bad ass. First time I've seen him play.

In all my years of watching this tournament, I have never been witness to an implosion like the one I saw from Nevada. Maybe I'm just being critical because I had them going to the Elite 8 but did anyone notice that they played 40 minutes of hot dog basketball and got burned for it. All I saw was bad passing, missed dunks, fade away jumpers from well beyond the arc, etc. Basically everything they did had to be "flashy" and they came off as undisciplined and looked ridiculous. Very disappointing.

UC's implosion against Nevada in the tournament last year was worse lol.

1. It was a generational UC roster... upperclassmen capable of dominating, and young guys that could score

2. A dream draw... would've had a shot at Loyola and then KSU to get to the Final Four. Almost a guarantee based on the way their style of play would've clashed with the other teams.

3. A big lead late in the second half, but unlike Nevada's team this year, UC wasn't *flashy enough* They mad things too hard on themselves by being overly conservative.

Yeah, I forgot about that one. I don't think I had Cincy going as far last year so I guess I am not as angry about that one. LOL

I didn't have them going that far, either, and I'm a UC fan.

But as a UC fan, it absolutely kills me that they blew such a good shot at the Final Four lol.

I grew up loving those mid 90s Kansas teams that forever had the #1 ranking on lock all year but could never win a damned game at Kemper arena in the tourney.... every year I'd look to see when they would have to go to KC... every year it seemed they'd ultimately have to go and once there the rim just became so much smaller for them, it was wild.

Bison hanging in there. This is so lit. I was ready to donate a small amount to my alma mater for the first time in order to buy out the coach two weeks ago.

We got zero seniors and are hanging in there against a team with like 3 lottery picks lmaooooo.

I figured it would be Duke by 20 or 30 at half.

I posted on the ndsu board that I'd get a tattoo if we kept it within ten. And a face tat if we won. I am not getting a face tat. But if we win I will get a tattoo. My mom would be pissed but that's life

Liberty was a huge one for me. Time for me to make my move up from the bottom.
