Those Michigan jerseys are awful…could they have smaller font?


Michigan is in trouble because I have good money on them

Crazy no call screwing Michigan on dunk attempt. That can’t be missed.


Feels like a buzzer beater game

Kind of underwhelming today. 1-4 seeds all won by 9+ points.


Only four upsets and one was a 8/9 game. 


Clemson was only loss that surprised me.

Hunter Dickinson’s career is over. He played under three different (technically Trump twice) presidents.

I was casually watching, but looked like a clean block just before the wrist on that attempt. 


Justice, though, since Michigan had an insane whistle all night. But they still pulled it out.

I went 15/16 on my picks yesterday. Only missed the BYU/VCU game

College basketball is ridiculously anal about the clock. 

Baylor inbounds the ball up three with 1.1 left. MS St fouls, Baylor shooting free throws with 0.5 left. Misses first free throw, MS St grabs rebound and calls timeout. Somehow there’s 0.2 left. Now MS St has to get a three off from the full length of the court with 0.2 left which isn’t even possible, confirmed by them trying a catch and shoot from half court which air balled and wouldn’t have counted. Oh and the refs have to stop and review each stoppage to make sure they’re getting the clock right.


In other news, another SEC team out.

 It has been atrocious. I think it was 10 mins in I texted my friend about how bad it was and he said they should not get another game this tournament and it has only gotten worse

The officiating seems to be favoring the SEC so far today

Following along on Twitter, have the refs in the Michigan game been as bad as people are making it out to be (favoring Michigan)?

I thought in the first half they favored A&M…didn’t watch the 2nd half much

Houston up 3 with 23 seconds was trapped near mid court but got drilled on the forearm and no call and led to steal and foul

Watching Florida’s free throw shooting I’m iffy on my champion pick.  Clayton is something else (except that idiotic foul with 7 seconds)


Hell of a run by UConn and Hurley….tough 2nd round for Florida

I concur. Be really iffy watching them in close games down the road after their free throw performance in the second half today.
