UNC looking like the play in team they were

[Neil Leininger]

Didn't realize until today, but the Conwell kid for Xavier was teammates with Larry and Kent and Indiana St. last season.

Years and years of having good teams but being poorly seeded or even overlooked entirely because you couldn't beat Gonzaga every single time can take its toll on a person. 

Then never getting to the second weekend even when you do make the tournament can be the clincher. 

I meant more his general appearance with bald head and fully zipped grey 1/4 zip

So did I.

Ole Miss looks like they’re determined to lose this one.

C’mon UNC don’t bust my bracket

I'm kind of surprised by a couple of things in the UNC-MIssissippi game.

Mississippi has rebounded well.  Thought that was the one area in which UNC had an advantage.

Mississippi has committed quite a few turnovers.  They've been very good at avoiding them this year, while UNC has been pants at forcing them. 

I still think this is beyond UNC to catch up at this point.  The Tar Heels have been slow in reaction time for most of the game, but they did a good job to make a game of it.

The Gators are not facing those Spartans from a quarter century ago, so they should win.  Want to see Todd Golden make a deep tourney run.

Florida on a pace for 50 offensive rebounds after 4 minutes.  The record is within reach, whatever it is.

Golden would have preferred this interview in an instagram DM … allegedly

Shaka may need to commence breathing exercises in the huddle soon

UA really pushes and moves the ball from to side the well.  Excellent defensive game plan guarding the three shot.

Shaka ... in NCAA Tournament form

Conneticut schooling OU already

93 points by Arizona tonight

[GoHorns1]

Arizona 93-65

[bierce]

That's probably it for OU.  Down 5 with ball and two open 3pt shooters, a Sooner guard took a contested layup which was blocked.  Pretty much game.

Storrs, Connecticut really is the Mecca of CBB.

Interestingly, this is the first year where a team from the first four won’t advance to the round of 32. And I believe one team from the first four has made the sweet 16 each year since its inception but could be wrong on that.

Arky leading by 6 after missing the front end with 41.8 seconds left in the my coach is slimier than your coach game.
