Up 11, 30 seconds left, Michigan timeout because of pressure. Game decided. Niko Medved did NOT throw a tantrum. Just pointing out some facts here!

Illinois looking like hot garbage. Down 5 with a little more than 4 minutes left. Have never led and spending most of the game looking like a squirrel trying to cross a busy street - lots of running around but not really accomplishing much.

No. Fantasy football guy is worse. They don't care about the game or games, only stats, And they whine about every player they have. Why I hate fantasy football.
Nope, even worse is the guy who sucks @ss in your fantasy league but quickly acts as though he doesn’t care and brags about how great he’s doing in his 3 other leagues.

Illinois survives…led for a total of 25 seconds.
Chattanooga missed way too many FTs. Think they were 5-12 and that included some missed 1-and-1s. They also started milking clock too early. You can't try to nurse a 5 point lead with 3-4 minutes left, because you end up taking lousy shots.

Chattanooga was 7-14 on free-throws. Illinois was 13-22.

I hope whoever wins this Iowa State-LSU crapfest is saving something for Wisconsin. It's been a little better the past few minutes, but the first half was atrocious.

Nobody wants to play LSU.

They'll guard you and rebound and play 80 feet. They may not score, but they'll ugly it up and play you as hard as anybody for 40 minutes.

Then I hope they pull this one out, because Iowa State hasn’t done much of anything since the calendar went to 2022. Nice turnaround and all, but haven’t beaten anyone significant in a while.

I take back everything bad that I said about Iowa State. They’re now my favorite team in the whole wide world.*

*For the next two days

Okay, now that we somehow won the baseball game here's hoping Colgate sends Davison packing.
Wonderful moment in the first half when Davison got his *** beaten on defense so he reaches out and grabs the guy by the arm, which was correctly called a foul. When they showed the replay, this horrible, awful, unlistenable announcer says, “Is that not offense-initiated contact???”

The Big Ten goes 5-0....and it's crickets in here. Nebraska must be the only school in the nation that roots against its own conference.

Then why don't you go annoy the Hell out of some other message board? Or just spend all your time playing with your Bo And Woody action figures.

Come back to us after the round 2..

I see Purdue and Wisconsin advancing to the sweet 16..
The Big Ten tends to do very well in the first round or two. And they tend to pull more upsets than other major conferences. But it's not easy to go all the way when you don't have any 1 or 2 seeds.

Last year they had a lot of seeds your speaking of and had one of their better years and only Michigan made the sweet 16.

I thought Carolina would get past a fading Marquette, but not by such a large margin. And I sure didn't see them curb-stomping Baylor this way. Davis could heave it up from the parking lot today and get nothing but net.

This is a complete ***-whipping.

Baylor’s defense seems to be based more on a very strong belief that “there is NO way North Carolina can make that shot” versus any real effort to play defense.

Nebraska's approach is to try to weaken the rest of the league rather than raise their game in order to compete

they've done nothing but make this conference worse in every facet of athletics and academics - they are a huge ball and chain - every other member university wishes they would leave

Some how Carolina holds on….testament to the power of a 25 point lead because they played awful the last 10 minutes of regulation and not much better in overtime

Why did it take until the end of overtime for UNC to figure out how to break a press? All you have to do is bring all 4 guys down by the baseline like they finally did...but they turned it over about 10 times before they figured this out.
