    Northern Iowa's pressure and situational coaching is really bad.

    How does a team give up 14 points in 38 seconds?

    UNI deserved to lose. Biggest choke job in NCAA tournament history. Then they did it again (in a lesser way) in the 1st OT.

    Did anyone here catch the final minute of Wisconsin/Xavier. That was totally awesome!

    Spectacular choke job by Wisconsin. They hit a 3 with 28 seconds left for a 56-53 lead and give up 8 straight points to lose by 5.

    Made it to rank #435 in the 50k Yahoo Challenge heading into Saturday. Not bad.

    And made it to 99.4 perdentile in ESPN, but still only ranked 77,408. Good news here is that the 20k winner is randomly drawn from the top 1% so that's all one needs to do, but would suck if you were #1 and didn't even get 20k.

    In before in all falls apart, lol.

    Saw you moved back into the top spot in our bracket pool. Looks like it'll come down to whoever wins the whole national championship game.

    Notre Dame playing on Good Friday and Easter is cheating.

    I always do better in brackets when I don't pay any attention to the regular season.

    This is why I never pick KU to win it all. Need UNC to win it all and I'll be in good shape but at this point that doesn't even look like a sure thing.

    I am rooting for UVA & UNC today, I want to see these two play due to contrasting styles. UNC wants games in the 90's, UVA wants the game in the 60's.

    This is from my brother who is both a diehard ND fan and lives in Charlottesville, VA, so goes to UVA games. And he usually doesn't make statements like this, but I find it's best to listen when he does.

    "ND and UVA have no chance against them. UNC is peeking at the right time."

    Seems odd they would put two, #1 seed ACC teams in the same side of the bracket like that.

    Major props to Syracuse. I thought they were dead and UVA had their number. Then they started the full-court press and UVA stopped scoring and never recovered.

    Complete domination down the stretch. Malachi Richardson was insane.

    Does Barkley even watch the NCAA's?

    With Kenny as a UNC alum, would have been very cool to see them have Monty Williams join him as ND alum.

    You aren't kidding. I thought they were dead before filling out my stupid bracket.
