Ole Miss looks like they’re determined to lose this one.

I'm kind of surprised by a couple of things in the UNC-MIssissippi game.

Mississippi has rebounded well.  Thought that was the one area in which UNC had an advantage.

Mississippi has committed quite a few turnovers.  They've been very good at avoiding them this year, while UNC has been pants at forcing them. 

I still think this is beyond UNC to catch up at this point.  The Tar Heels have been slow in reaction time for most of the game, but they did a good job to make a game of it. 

Florida on a pace for 50 offensive rebounds after 4 minutes.  The record is within reach, whatever it is.

Shaka may need to commence breathing exercises in the huddle soon

UA really pushes and moves the ball from to side the well.  Excellent defensive game plan guarding the three shot.

Shaka ... in NCAA Tournament form 

Arizona 93-65

That's probably it for OU.  Down 5 with ball and two open 3pt shooters, a Sooner guard took a contested layup which was blocked.  Pretty much game.

Interestingly, this is the first year where a team from the first four won’t advance to the round of 32. And I believe one team from the first four has made the sweet 16 each year since its inception but could be wrong on that.

Arky leading by 6 after missing the front end with 41.8 seconds left in the my coach is slimier than your coach game.

Big East is now down to Creighton and UConn, both big underdogs to 1 seeds in the round of 32. 

As the great philosopher Gerry Hamilton once said, "Never underestimate Aggies ability to puke on their shoes"!

Pretty wild start in this Florida-UConn game. Loose balls, errant passes, no buckets dropping. 

Not the start I was expecting.

Still in hiding a I see. How’s that bracket buddy 😂

If Madison Booker is a mid range assassin, Deja Kelly is mid range magical. She don't miss.

How is this not a Final Four matchup?

Because UConn futzed around much of the year and wound up in the same subregional as Florida.

Going down to the wire because Florida left a lot of points at the line.  Missed seven ft this half, including two front ends. 

Make that eight.

Some fans would've wanted this at Texas because back to back natties lol this is also why Laker fans are happy he didn't take the job.  This would not fly with grown men.  I think he's a good coach that caught lightning in a bottle for a couple of years.

I think he's a great coach with a pissy attitude and anger management issues.

He had to replace 3 starters and the top 2 in bench minutes from the first championship team.  That doesn't make it easy to repeat.   Last back to back winner had the benefit of all 5 starters and all top 7 in minutes played returning for the second year.

CSU/MD going to the wire.  Tied with 45.7 seconds left, MD ball. 

UNM is playing very fast.  Up 16-11 over MSU early.

OleMissoleIssoleIppoleI is up 12 with a minute left in the first half.

Hell of a finish in the CSU Maryland game.   CSU hit a three with about 10 second left to go up a point.  MD brought it up, called timeout, and ran a play for Queen to drive from the elbow.  He hit a banked runner at the buzzer to win it.

CSU just couldn't handle Reese and Queen inside.  They combined for 32 points and 17 rebounds.
