To beat Louisville, beat the press and be able to make Harrell and Mathiang actually defend. Easier said than done, but it's pretty simple.

This is honestly the worst game of the tournament. Brutal to watch...

Louisville gets a lane violation when St Louis has nobody to box out. I honestly don't think they could possibly play any worse than this.

Tonight's games have to be better than the first two. At least we've got that going for us.

Long term, my bracket could probably use a Michigan loss, even though I have them in this game.

Of course 2 of my player pickem guys are on UM, so I'm going to be upset either way.

This announcer needs to stop saying "rimming" so much

Texas is pretty terrible. So is K-State. Look how both played at the end of the year. Inconsistent for 6 weeks basically.

Honestly, like most years, only Kansas will be standing in the Sweet 16 from the Big XII.

Spanarkel nailed it. This is a clinic by Michigan.

I'm really looking forward to Harvard/Michigan State. Can the Crimson take down Sparty?

27/34 so far for me. Providence, N.C. State and VCU were just brutal endings since I picked all three of them to advance. Duke is my only Sweet 16 out. Moving forward, Iowa State will probably prove fatal to my bracket since I have them in the finals against Arizona. UNC has a wide open door in front of them. All they have to do is walk through it.

Life sucks.

Doesn't bode well for the Gators (and possibly Arizona).
Just thought about this, and only Wichita State won by more than 12.

That's the worst intentional foul I've ever seen.

You gotta make it somewhat convincing that you're not just grabbing the guy around the waist...

He came across the arms first. After that it's trying to keep him from going up. That's a bad bad call.

10 teams so far today, and Michigan is the only one that hasn't been terrible offensively.

The announcers of the UD-Syracuse game are fucking odd. One of them sounds like Verne Lundquist

I can't tell if this is serious or not.
