They are really rolling. If it's Murray/Marquette, that will be a very fast-paced and exciting second round game.

Well...if you're on a computer the $3.99 is a deal.

On my phone with perfect reception in 3G and it's pretty choppy...very meh. Probably decent on wifi.

McGruder has 25 of K State's 38 points. Wow.

I almost put them in the Final 4 but in the end I settled on them losing to Missouri.

If Asheville can shoot a good percentage, they have a chance.

Haven't watched a ton, but Wisky has controlled this game the whole way. It was a fairly trendy upset pick, but not happening.

I think Wisco-Vandy will be a great matchup.

He clearly got fouled with 1 second on the shot clock. Bad call there.

Very interesting call though. Can you have a shooting foul, if there isn't a legal shot?

I agree, he got fouled before going up.

I'd imagine you could slow-motion replay every "and 1" and technically waive most of them off...because the foul and shot are not the exact same act.

I see what you're saying, but this was a timing issue. If the foul begins before the 0, then it should be called. But thats splitting hairs.

Why continuation is such a subjective call, because rarely is the foul and the shot actually taken at the exact same time, or in the same movement.

Regardless, wonder if Boeheim stands by his statement that Melo didn't let anyone down. 11 teammates and millions of fans disagree right now.

I don't know what the rules are, but I definitely agree the foul should have been awarded. In fact, I thought I heard the PA guy say that there was still a foul on the player. Thus, I would think that there would be two FTs. UNCA definitely dodged a bullet.

The games have been alright so far. No really big buzzer beater drama. KSU/USM was close, but it wasn't where one squad had a chance to win the game on the final posession.

BYU can definitely cut down these Marquette lead down to size if they focus on doing it in little spurts. Being down 10 with 15 left is nothing all too bad.

UNCA also has a player from Ohio on their roster! Was a starter last year but missed this year with a knee injury. Hope they can pull this off.

A foul is a foul if there is time left on the shot clock. They were in the bonus... He should've been shooting free throws.

I think LBSU-UNM might be a good one. Two under the radar teams. Also interested to watch Harvard
