When your the underdog your looking for 1 shot to win it. They only had 10 seconds to get the rebound bring the ball up the court and get a look I don't know why you guys think they should have rushed it up and taken a quick shot that isn't what Princeton does. It wasn't like there was 20 seconds left by the time they got it in position there was only like 5-6 seconds left they only got 1 pass off before the shot. There is a good chance they drive and there will be no foul called in a game like this unless it's obvious. They are not getting a bail out call inside unless its a clear foul.

They were only down 1...didn't need a 3 to win. That's the point.

That's not what Princeton does. Teams have to play to what they are capable to doing. Did you see a lot of pump fake drives during the game for Princeton ?

They did make some semi violent cuts. Chucking is not the answer.

Vasturia charged earlier.

Damn I tune in to the Zags game and they were down 22-21 - now they're up 26-22. Time to turn it off until it gets closer to the end and hopefully the Zags get the honor of being the first ever 1 seed to drop to a 16!

Every game aside from the Butler game including the first four has been really good.

1st half choke by Wilmington the difference was up 15 and had it cut to 2 in like 3 minutes. Frustrating start to the day could have easily had 2 upset winners from the mid majors instead the damn ACC moves on.

This Bucknell team is really talented I have watched a lot of their games this year if they can withstand the press they can keep it close and have a shot to win it at the end.

The strength of the ACC is the top to bottom strength of the conference. It isn't that the good Mid Majors can't compete and play competitive. It is the number of quality teams that sets the ACC apart. But when you look at individual teams there are lots of teams that can play competitively with ACC teams.

I love that I can watch these games at work on my computer, but it is really dumb and annoying that during commercials they disconnect all the buttons so you can't switch between games or even use the "boss button."

I watched a ton of Winthrop games this year was really thinking they would be a 13 seed to knock off a 4 this year but when they drew Butler I had my doubts. Butler is a team I rooted for big time when they were a mid major so I still root for them most of the time. Keon Johnson is electric and Xavier Cooks is very good as well I just don't know if they have a enough to come back.

A couple killers for Princeton near the end of that game. The walk when the guy was wide wide open in the lane taking a little stutter step on his way to the layup cost them 2 pts they should have had which would have changed the end game and the rebound that Princeton could not get that was very close to being off ND and then on the inbounds a call that could gone either way was a block call and ensuing FT's for ND. Still had a shot at the end but it's the little things that keep upsets from happening.

What gets tiring is hearing the talking heads promote the ACC 24/7 when they are no more infallible than any other conference,I guess we both have a choice though,I can turn my TV set down and you can ignore posts.

I'm with pokercat on this one. Them pumping up the ACC is annoying yes, but doesn't really affect anything. It is definitely not something to get mad about or let it affect your day.

Last time I checked,the first two games had ACC teams in them and Kentucky doesn't play until tomorrow,it's reasonable to assume people will discuss the games as they happen,I just logged on a few minutes ago,so don't point at me because some other posters have wore the subject out.
