Holy fuck!
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

A day that saw a 2,3, and 4 seed lose in the first round is topped off by a half court buzzer beater.

My bracket is totally destroyed, but that was pretty entertaining.

That took me back to 1979 when Bryant Gumbel was on the desk at NBC trying to get those 3 straight fantastic finishes on the air.

Not 1979, it was 1981. I still remember US Reed hitting that halfcourt shot for Arkansas and then Rolando Blackman hitting a baseline jumper for K-St.

Yep, saw that one when it happened. Just like shaggy ginger chinstrap whitey, I applaud the effort even if the result fell short...

If he had been a few inches closer, that might've gone...

this has been a fun tournament so far

I'm not sure I'd say that had UK lost in the first round though
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

I think I'm the only one in the pool that has UNC winning it all...

If you go to standings it tells you who everyone has as champion.

Are the UK fans in here worried about IU today? If so, how much?

But not worried about UNC if you beat IU?

not really no

others may be but IU has the entire weight of their state on their shoulders to win this game. Its more than just a tournament game. Their last relevant win before this season was beating UK and they milked it for 2 seasons.

also this is probably going to be a road game for UK today - the crowd will be cheering for IU

I worry about every game. But yes, I don't expect UK to get past IU today - the chip on Hoosier shoulders just too big.

IF UK manages to win, I will worry about UNC.

After Ingraham hit those free throws with 25 seconds or so left, Yale should have setup for a 3 point shot, you can't trade basket for free throws down 3 with that amount of time left.
