Jordan Mickey single handedly choked that game away for LSU. Game winning shot may have been the ugliest shot of the day, but you knew it would fall for NCSTATE .just a shame that Carolina held on to beat Harvard.
 
Wofford couldn't pull the upset in a frenetic final possession...got good looks just could not do it..damn I picked all the wrong upsets today.

Gtown pulling away from E Washington...yea I finally got one right...11 of the 16 games came down to the last minute and I maybe 6 or 7 of those last possession
 
Wow what a comeback! ALso shows you have to make your foul shots. Have North Carolina St beating Nova.
 
I think yesterday may have been the most exciting day of the round of 64 I've ever watched. It felt like every finish was a classic.

I would have to agree. What a day. I never thought I'd see a game with a guy throwing his shoe into the stands and then a guy throwing him one during the game from the bench. How did they not call a tech there ot at least charge the team a time out. That was FUNNY!

And that goaltending call.

And I never ever saw so many plays were guys just kicked the ball while dribbling, throwing them out bounds, and throwing passes to places where there were no players..just all kinds of weird stuff.

And the night before where the player jumped out of his pants while grabbing the rebound. Haing to come down with the ball and reach down and pull his shorts back up from his ankles.
 
there is no way today will live up to yesterday...with more 2s playing today and more 8/9s I expect less upsets and less dramas

Great day for games...not so much for brackets
Maybe not for yours. I managed to get 12 of 16. Lots of great games though. Almost all of the non-1 and 2 seeds had stiff challenges.

All things considered, I didn't too bad. I had 12 right, too. Like almost everyone, I missed on the UAB/Iowa St. and Ga. State/Baylor games. I also got the SMU/UCLA and Purdue/Cincy games wrong.
 
these games are not turning out too good. Kansas having an easy time with New Mexico State and Michigan State extended their lead to double digits over Georgia at halftime.

SEC didn't do well...Ole Miss got waxed by Xavier yesterday. LSU blew a huge lead vs NCSt and lost, Arky was pushed to the brink by Wofford. Of course you have Kentucky winning but so far its looking like Georgia will go meekly out as well

Big East was 4-0 yesterday and Pac 10 3-0

I have to go to Univ of Wyoming for work next Friday, so a little piece of me is hoping they can turn Cindarella and make it to next Fridays sweet 16 matchup...but seems pretty doubtful, haha.
 
A lot of people were thinking Wyoming could pull that upset over Northern Iowa but UNI really laying the hammer up 21 at halftime...that's what happens when you put two midmajors against each other. I like UNI over UL and then I think they can take Nova

Michigan State with a solid win even though it got closer than it should down the stretch, a lot of teams having trouble closing things out cleanly

good to see Buffalo coming back a little after a poor start vs WVU. Like to see Hurley get a win and Huggins go down

I have UNI over UL too. They are underrated at 5. Didn't buy into the Buffalo hype, and so far that looks right too - although yesterday showed that no lead is safe until the last buzzer has sounded.
 
Still finding it difficult to automatically root for B1G teams in these games. Enjoy watch Wichita State play and think they will give Kansas a game.
 
Wichita game to me was the hardest choice for me. Picked Wichita but Indiana has talent.
 
Hopefully Anteaters can pull this one out down 2 with 8.9 seconds left....I havent been paying attention to this game dammit
