    I just don't see how you can get that worked up considering they were down four with a second left.

    Holy crap. I had no idea I was currently tied for first place. Really surprising after some of my terrible picks (Wake Forest and Arizona). Thank you to Dayton, Siena, and other small teams for winning your first games and losing your second accordingly.

    huh??

    i dont recall how much time was left, but lets say it was 1 sec left. he gets fouled shooting a 3 pt attempt. has 3 shots, makes the first two...prob gotta miss the last for a chance at a tip...could tie it up. granted its unlikely that all happens, but you gotta at least have a shot at it right? crazier things have happened.

    just saying i believe its legit to be that upset. its the tourney, you lose you're done. just my two cents

    Is it just me, or is this the first time, in a long time, that there has been no tradition underdog in the sweet 16?

    I'm sorry, I refuse to put AZ in the category of cindarella...

    It looks like the usual suspects out there..

    Guess I'll jump in on the 2nd chance contest, though I don't think my luck's gonna change much.

    Still got a chance if OU comes through for me.

    yea...its the first time that all 3 top seeds in each region are moving on to the sweet 16. it also doesnt help that the mid majors got jipped this year.

    65 foot heave at the buzzer... WOW.

    Missouri is going to win when a shot like that goes in.

    I picked Missouri over Memphis so hopefully they hold up.

    I hate Duke but I need them to win too.

    could memphis be playing any crappier? 2 ft's to get it to 10, d'oneal mack up his night to 0-4 from the line, then commits a stupid foul (go sit on the bench until you suck less). then evans can't even make a layup, or grab the easy offensive rebound as 2 memphis guys knock it away from each other. meanwhile calipari is getting techs and mizzou is hitting halfcourt 3's. why the tournament, exciting as it is, is such a bad way to determine a champion. one off night, one great night and someone moves on.

    Don't act like Missouri has no business winning this game just because your bracket is ****ed.

    Missouri has been sneaking up on teams like this all year.
