Seal the deal, Johnny.
It's difficult when Nantz uses his almighty powers and saying how good of a free throw shooting team they are lol

Kansas? Really? Wiggins with one of his patented no shows again. Not sure I have seen such potential play as poorly in a huge game. 2pts? Good luck in NBA. Not one of Self's best coaching jobs this season.

He didn't step out of bounds but definitely looked like he traveled.

They give you that step/hop after catching.

If SFA wins UF could make it to the final 4 with playing a 16, 9, 14, 10/11

As much as I'm a fan of Bill Self, he's now lost to a 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 seed in the past decade as a 1, 1, 2, 3, and 4 seed.

Not his best year.

10 losses with that talent is pathetic.

Frankamp didn't play at all in the 2nd half..why?

Leaves Black in the game with 7 min left and 4 fouls.

Leaves Wiggins out there all game with only 1 made FG and nothing else. Multiple turnovers.

I don't know how you can be a Kentucky fan, I can't stand this one and done shit. I hope Self doesn't take on anymore Wiggins/Embiid/Selden type classes.

And coach K lost in the first round three times (Lehigh, Mercer, VCU) since 2007 and once in the 2nd round. Your point? In that same time frame Self took them to the Elite 8 5 times, twice in the national title game, winning one. Tell me one fan base that wouldn't be OK with that rate of success.

I don't know how many, but at least a few in my pool (of 50+) had them...At least one also had Dayton. But I don't think anyone had either in the Elite 8.

Seems like Duke hasn't had a deep run, maybe once, in years.

And you just highlighted why Kansas is a maddening and difficult team to predict. Pretty consistently a bracket "swing pick", meaning Kansas can make or break you.

See, I told people OSU was a great darkhorse pick in that region. Ohio State just wouldn't cooperate LOL
