What an awful shot. Unfortunate way to lose.

Best finish of the night and first buzzer beater of the tournament. March Madness has officially begun.

LOL. Why do you care so much about that game?

Also, that was the first buzzer beater, but tonight has been filled with great finishes.

No clue but he's giving Duke some bad karma.

Louisville and Manhattan are playing the exact same defense, yet only 1 team is getting called for fouls.

I take sports entirely too seriously lol. Also needed the win to improve to 12-2 and enter a multi-way tie for first place in my friend's pool (of like 50 people). That's my biggest "bragging rights" pool each year. So, for about 30 minutes, it required me being a Texas super fan and to authentically hate everyone on ASU. Ha.

Bad karma would require me to boast about Duke being unbeatable, which is obviously not the case. I was the first one here to state that Duke will need to play the game of its life to beat Mercer.

I have no faith in this Duke team.

The SDSU game may finish before the Louisville free throw contest.

It would make this first day if Louisville would go down right here.

I'm staying up to see but it would greatly wound 2 of my brackets.

Louisville is not looking like the better team at all.

A Manhattan win here would serve Louisville right for winning the title the way they did last year and officially usher in the (hopefully) new brand of college basketball moving forward.

I fully expect Louisville to win here, though, and then cruise into a date in the Elite Eight.

Now there is a foul every time down the court.

Now Louisville is reminding me of Syracuse when they were undefeated and they'd either get fouled when they were in trouble or got every offensive rebound until they scored.

Russ Smith uses his off arm more than any player I have ever seen. There is no reason he shouldn't be fouled out with 5 offensive fouls.

Why did Rick Pitino abandon the beautiful basketball he orchestrated at Kentucky for this? I guess not having Antoine Walker, Tony Delk, Derek Anderson, Ron Mercer and Walter McCarty hurts.
