Kenny and Charles didn't shut up the entire time, kept shouting over the other guys. And Gottlieb made a really awkward joke about only being there to add a little diversity as the only white guy that didn't land. At all.
Haha good fuck Gottlieb.... but yeah reminds me of last week I forget who the white guy was but Anthony, Kenny, and Barkley were all talking about how much the NCST thing and Texas Western championships meant to black people. I told my fiance I bet that dude feels awkward lol.

I really don't think my description accurately described how awkward of a moment it was.

I kind of had a feeling that eventually Miami would come back to Earth a little, but I never expected this. They've been really good for the last couple months. I expected them to lose at some point, but I didn't think they'd get hammered.

Gonna be tough to come back from this deficit.

Sucks that they are missing Reggie Johnson. You hate to see teams not at full strength this late in the season

The bottom of the east was probably the worst half of a region I can remember. I had Marquette losing to Davidson in round 1, and before the tournament I called Miami to not survive the first weekend but ended up taking them to the Elite 8 once the bracket came out because the other teams were just so collectively unimpressive.

The Indiana - Syracuse winner should roll on Saturday in my opinion.

Syracuse needed to get off to a fast start and they did. Gotta keep it up.

Looks like Crean couldn't figure out how to beat a zone over the last few days off.

I said before this tourney started Crean wouldn't win a title. No way a coach that inexperienced wins one. Creans a good coach, probably will win a national title in his career; but he's not going to win one now. You have to "learn" how to lose before you can win in April.

I highly disagree.

Fred Hoiberg apparently just got a 10 year extension with Iowa State.

Please, Arizona was underseeded and a quality team. Wins over Miami AND Florida. They were 15th in the RPI and Kem Pomeroy rankings.

I will give you that Gonzaga was a weak 1 seed so OSU benefited there.

Indiana is finished. They don't defend anymore and they are lost against the zone.

If Tom Crean is planning on making an in-game adjustment at any point during the tournament, now would probably be the time.

In their defense, Indiana is getting hammered around the rim and not getting any calls. They are still stinking up the joint though.

Arizona is a tough 6 seed, but the West was incredibly weak (as it always is).

So, is this game going to be over by half or is IU going to make a run to get it around to 10 by half-time?
