Did Burke even hit his head?

Seriously? You could even hear it slam during live play. Or at least it sounded like that, could have been his body.

Might want to get your eyes checked. A head isnt the only part of the body that makes noise.

Hah, guess the live play fooled me. Replay shows it didn't hit. But it looked like it hit and bounced off the ground.

Ya, ya. I missed that. It looked like it did live to me (and others including the crowd/announcers), I didn't see the slowed replay before posting.

But ya, he didn't hit his head, but he did hit the floor decently hard and awkwardly.

The Wolters-Burke matchup has been disappointing, but the rest of the UM team is rolling.

Surprised by that. I thought they had a decent chance to pull the upset.

For the 3rd year in a row. No idea why anybody keeps buying into the hype with them.

I'd say more than half of the people in one of my pools picked Belmont. I love it. I really like Clark, but Belmont let me down big time in prior years and I wasn't about to be bitten again. I stayed clear of Montana this year too. Last year, everyone was all over the Grizzlies taking down Wisconsin and they got humiliated.

It's that + inflated computer numbers. They never beat anyone good. No offense to Middle Tennessee.

UNLV has an amazing amount of talent. How are they playing so badly?

Same as Kentucky. They're a collection of talent, not a team. I had them in my top 10 before the season. Very disappointing team.

I had UNLV as my preseason national champion. Why they'll lose in the first round: No coach.

Arizona doing what they've done all year. Getting very lackadaisical.

Lol I picked them just because I didn't believe in the Pac-10... I also picked all of the 11 seeds(I know quite a few people who did this as well).

But holy shit Belmont trying to make a comeback! 9 straight points.

UNLV struggling. Doesn't hurt Cal this is essentially a home game.

UNLV went almost 12 minutes without a field goal. Wow. Still within eight, though, remarkably.

It's gotta be frustrating for UNLV fans to know that if Jerry Tarkanian were coaching this team, the Rebels would likely end the season by hanging a banner in the Thomas & Mack Center. Dave Rice is just not ready to manage and lead this level of talent. It's his second year as a head coach and it has shown in each of the past two tournaments. The team just isn't ready to play and doesn't mesh together at all, and that is on the coach and his preparation/development of the team.

It seems to be that UNLV would be a very attractive position for an elite young coach. The program is storied, set in an amazing location and has one of the best basketball arenas in the country with loyal fans. I could be wrong, but I think it's a program that can become dominant again with the right man in charge.
