Call a timeout you idiot, don't let them get the jump ball.

This would be an epic, epic cough up by VCU. They had this game won all 2nd half, and were up 4 with 11 seconds left...

Lewis commits the foul to send it to OT and misses the wide open 3 to win it in OT. Goat.

Atlantic 10? Not so much.

VCU...down.
St. Joe's...down.
UMass...destroyed.
George Washington...down.

St. Louis needed a meltdown to win and Dayton did get it done. Still, a 6-bid lead?

Fuck VCU. I am tired of these teams choking away leads. Rooting for Coastal now. Make history.

Reminds me of when the Big Ten would get 6-7 bids and only 1-2 would survive the first round...it was like that for 2-3 years.

At least year this I'm getting some payback...got murdered the last two years by teams blowing big leads or losing while outplaying the other team.

It's a one game scenario, not a best of 7 series. When are people going to realize that? Hard too draw anything from that.

With the exception of UMass, all were in closely contested matchups. Only 3 were expected to advance based on seed and they still got 2. Sure it is pretty disappointing for the A-10 so far, but all of the teams had resumes worthy of being in the tournament.

Coastal showing some nerves early but that three right there should help to calm them down.

Wahoos take the lead. Probably going to get ugly now.

Only a matter of a time.

Virginia's bench sure was fired up because they finally came back and regained the lead

...from Coastal Carolina.

I didn't watch any of the first half, but I can't fathom how badly Virginia had to play to trail by five. Coastal Carolina looks like a church league team right now.

Multiple 16 seeds have held double-digit second half leads in recent years (Holy Cross over Kansas in 2002, Albany over UConn in 2006, UNC Asheville over Syracuse in 2011, to name a few). Not sure how Coastal Carolina is going to hold on to a two-point deficit.

Their only hope is...if they can get into the 50's, they have a chance. It's Virginia...

This officiating in the uk/ksu game is more one sided than it was in the okie state game. Just awful.
