If Ohio State beats Iowa State (that obviously depends on whether not Iowa State goes all Craig Hodges on the Bucks) I think Arizona-OSU will be a great game. As well as Buckeye fans travel, I think you have to give Arizona a slight edge with the game being played out west.

St. Louis is awful right now. Like Wisconsin. A boring style that's just painful to watch when it isn't working.

Another game that looks like it is going to get ugly

Rick Majerus could have gotten this team to Atlanta and won the whole thing. He was that brilliant and changed the complexion of a game with his genius. Jim Crews has done a great job with this team, but the imitation is never better than the original. It's a shame. And next year could have been even better, with most of the key parts all coming back.

Kyle Singler's brother, E.J., has got Jimmer range. He's turned into a nice player. Never would have guessed that after watching him play against Duke as a sophomore in 2010.

Fuck St. Louis. Needed an Oregon loss for my multiplier pool. What a terrible half.

The Butler game has been very exciting thus far. Great shooting. Otherwise, this has been one of the worst days of NCAA basketball I've seen in a long time.

I swear to God refs have no clue what an over-and-back is. How did Butler just get away with that? lol

This is getting ridiculous. Butler fouls (they get away with more than any team in the country, for the record) and then get rewared with 2 FTs.

Make the inital call, and we dont have defenders wearing the same jersey as the offensive players. The hand-checking and bodies up top are getting out of hand in CBK.

Fuck that rule. How about you not lean against the player with the ball 29 feet from the basket.

The worst is when a guy jumps in the air from his side on an inbounds, catches, then lands in the backcourt. THAT IS A VIOLATION!!!!! They never call it.

But this time Butler guy grabbed the ball falling out of bounds, saved it into Clarke with a pass, and Clarke catches it while straddling the halfcourt line...no call...WTF???

Jesus Christ.

Oregon/SLU, they are looking at a foul at mid court, that was nothing more than a hand check and a HUGE flop. Wow.

Wow this is a fucking joke.

Now looking at a play in the post. 2 straight plays they are looking at, NOT one reason to look at either.

I might have seen 2 flagrant reviews during the entire regular season. I've seen at least 8 in 3 days of this tournament. What the fuck is going on?

Well, if Butler and Indiana in the Elite Eight does not happen, I will be shocked. Illinois will beat Miami tomorrow and then Butler will beat Illinois, Indiana will also win, and then we have a CBS showdown lol.

Rogers is up 24-22 1 minutes into 2nd Q

They started a combined 7/8 from 3pt range. It was 15-14 Rogers after 2 minutes and 30 second lol

Davonte Pratt has 19 fucking points. Not even 11 minutes into the game lol.
