Illinois crowd into it.

Glad to see him doing well. Unfortunate him and TJ didn’t get along towards the end

And his mom

I'm not sure if it was them not getting along as much as him reportedly flipping out at practice and creating havoc for the team leading to him not fitting very well.

Wow. UConn gave away a 7 point lead with 45 seconds left in regulation and a 5 point lead with 58 seconds to go in OT. They really struggled with Seton Hall's full court pressure and had a hard time inbounding the ball. Not quite as bad as UNI vs Texas A&M in that epic tourney meltdown like 10-15 years ago, but it was close.

Imo that UNI meltdown was way worse.

7 points in 45 seconds doesn't take much.

Hadn't gotten much chance to refer to the in-season bracket reveal.

ISU about where I expected.

Side note for fun, here's how the committee ranking compares to most recent AP ranking (some results today will shift the s-curve):

2 Alabama …2
3 Duke …3
4 Florida …4
2
5 Tennessee …5
6 Texas A&M …8

11 Wisconsin …16
12 Arizona …13

13 Texas Tech …12
14 Michigan …20

Highest ranked not in top 16:
Michigan State … 11

Kentucky @ Texas for the first time ever and Texas can't even open the upper deck seats?

 

[rosshm16]

Kansas State's fairy dust seems to have run out (at least for the first half).

Tang probably started coaching again.

Duke vs. Stanford. Reason why Big 12’s move to add the AAC and BYU helped them a lot more than the teams ACC took.

 

[NoCreativity]

Lol, Kentucky having major issues inbounding the ball.

Nothing reminds you of the "Atlantic Coast" more than Cal and Stanford that's for sure.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Both Wheat schools losing out in Mormonland at the moment.

 

[madguy30]

KSU on the come back. Cut a 21 piint deficit to 11.

Now 8.

 

[GTO]

I don't think I've ever seen a player complain to the refs as much as Coleman Hawkins. They should just T him up.

 

[Kinch]

KU down by 7.

 

[rosshm16]

KSU is down big again. Hard to get down 18 on the road in a league game and make a game out of it.

 

[awd4cy]

Kansas State fans blaming the refs down 18.
