Everyone in America wishes they were GCU #10 right there.

Bohannon just got shot by that finger.

No. There have been 2 times in which there was only 1 upset.

Thursday, March 16, 2000 (Friday only had 2 upsets) - Only upset was #10 Gonzaga 77 #7 Louisville 66
Friday, March 20, 2015 (Thursday had 4 upsets) - Only upset was #11 Dayton 66 #6 Providence 53

2000 had the fewest first round with 3, but had the most second round with 9.

2000 has to be one of the oddest tournaments for distribution of upsets throughout most of the tournament. Round 1 was almost all chalk, round 2 included two 1 seeds and three 2 seeds losing, Elite had and 8 vs. 6 and an 8 vs. 7, and two 8's went to Final Four.

Been watching OU-Mizzou. What happened?

There was a finger near him. Might have been contact, might not.
He snapped backwards like he was shot. Just one of those things he does.

He should be thankful it wasn't Adam Woodbury defending him. Might've lost an eye.

Temper tantrums and flopping. It's the Iowa way.

1996​	UCLA	41​	Princeton	43​
2012​	Connecticut	64​	Iowa State	77​

Stopped watching what happened?

JorBo took an incidental, but full on slap across the face.

 

[Die4Cy]

Are we going to talk about this

 

[exCYtable]

Virginia's style has to make their fanbase pull their hair out. They can rarely put a team away. That's how the 16 over 1 happens. I'd take the national title and consistent top 10 ranking though.

Virginia is in SERIOUS trouble right now.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Ohio misses a dunk and then Virginia hits a 3. Virginia is only down 2 now. Big turn of events.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Ohio is slicing up the Virginia defense.

 

[HoopsTournament]

In other games, UConn is within 7 of Maryland.

 

[cyclones500]

Huge 3

 

[Die4Cy]

Wow that was a dagger by Ohio

 

[HoopsTournament]

Ohio with a huge 3 as the shot clock expires.
