Dude is for real. Crazy!

Dude is locked-in to be a lottery pick now, I think. He put on a hell of a show.

FYI, my wife is I AM BATMAN. Of course, she's killing it so far.

The fact that Wisconsin was the only Big Ten team to loss makes me incredibly happy.

SEC won a bunch, but was let down by the state of Mississippi.

All the 12s should have won. Auburn did everything to give it away to New Mexico St and they didn't take it.

To be fair, both those teams look like they wanted the other team to win in the last 2 minutes. That was a bad 2 minutes of basketball all around.

Finally a last 10 second game winner from LSU-Maryland.

...did I just see a tourism ad for the Korean DMZ during Florida-Michigan?

Couple of close games this afternoon but tonight is all blowouts.

Auburn-Kansas the last hope for a good game in the evening sessions.

Hope fading. I can barely watch this. I mean, I expected it but still. Good grief.

Whew.

TN played as well as they have all year in the first half. Then got passive and let the game about get away to Iowa.

Was a tight game down the stretch, but Tennessee put together a solid effort in OT to win. Grant Williams was essential.

Now, hopefully UNC can play better than they did to start Friday's game.

I love the TN team's personalities. So goofy.

Post game dancing.

This is the second or third of these they've done this year.

Hey Cal fired their coach. Good luck, Carlbear.

How lucky can Duke get?

Dawkins couldn't miss all day and then the point blank follow shot rims out.

Exciting games today.

Yeah, UCF played a heck of a game today. I'm not convinced Zion didn't commit a charge on that last drive, but UCF flubbed a dunk, and got the benefit of a missed shot clock violation.

They had 2 decent looks at the hoop in the final 14 seconds, and just didn't get the bounce.

Better lucky than out for Duke, I suppose?

Meanwhile, UNC played better today ( turnovers notwithstanding). Nice to get back to the sweet sixteen. Season continues, and that's all we can ask for!

GWJ Sweet 16 bracket is now up on ESPN as well.

I'll link the group later when not on my phone but if you joined last year the rejoin link should appear.

Who woulda thunk an 8-win Pac-12 team just won March Madness.

Have fun.

Wow this Tenn v Purdue game

If TN had hit their free throws in the first half, even as bad as that half was, they'd have won. Only playing one half of good ball finally caught up to them.

Oh well. Love the personalities on this team. Hate to see Admiral and Kyle go. And maybe Williams and Bone, too if they decide to come out early.

Is Texas Tech and Michigan doing an homage to Thursday Night Football down to the color rush uniforms?

Both Tenn and Purdue shot 50% on FTs.

Crazy they shot that or better (54) from 3

Cal hires Mark Fox, formerly of Georgia.

Thoughts?

Welp, that went about like I expected. I was afraid of this game, after seeing Auburn in their last several... But damn. I would have liked to make it a little closer than that.

☹️

Feel less bad about KU getting smoked by them.

Shooting 3s seems to really correlate with winning some days. Mich St hit a tournament record for themselves tonight and advanced. UNC can't buy one and goes home.

We couldn't throw it in the ocean tonight. Conversely, Auburn didn't encounter a shot they didn't like.

Just a quick shoutout for the women's tournament. Louisville v UConn Sunday at noon, for the Final Four.
