    Hands down the biggest meltdown in my lifetime as far as March Madness games go. I've never heard of a team scoring 14 in the last 35 seconds to erase a 12 point deficit. Just saying it out loud seems absurd.

    Also Indiana sucks.

    It was literally the worst loss / biggest come from behind (within the amount of time left) ever in college basketball history, not just the tournament. At 44 seconds, or whatever it was, Texas A&M had a 0% chance of winning.

    Yeah, IU sucks, all the way from winning the big 10 outright to the sweet 16...

    They aren't the best IU team, not consistent, and quite frankly I didn't think they could win a big game outside of assembly hall, but we'll see with UNC. KY was a huge win, that team was firing on all cylinders.

    That was crazy for sure, but I still give the meltdown award to Chris Weber calling a time out with none left essentially losing the game.

    I hope Indiana can pull one more out of their a$$. Much rather play Tom Crean than UNC.

    That's certainly a concern. Can't take anything for granted this time of year.

    As long as IU, Duke, or UNC don't win it all... I don't really care. I guess I'll pull for Texas A&M at this point.

    Very happy to see Dook and that *** Grayson Allen lose. And then to see him walk off like sore loser and not embrace the Oregon player was even better.

    I would have no problem seeing Kansas win it all. Better than most of the other choices. And they likely are the best overall team.

    OU looked tough last night. I would love to see buddy and Spangler go out with a NC! Getting passed the ducks is going to be tough though.

    Tough one for Wisconsin fans.

    They forgot how to handle the ball in the last 30 seconds.

    Sooners looked good playing alone out there. Just as though the Ducks never came North for the spring.

    Congrats to OU and Nova getting to the final four. Nova, I must admit, is a tougher team than I gave them credit for. OU was insane from outside yesterday. Sometimes that comes back to bite you when the shots aren't falling. Should be some good ones today also.

    Now if ND can upset UNC my wants will be complete.

    I'm hoping the Sooners win it all. They have been a fun team to watch all year.

    Sucks that they should be beginning their tourney ban this year. LOL Forever a Tarheel hater.


    I guess Syracuse took it kind of personal when everyone started talk about how they didn't even deserve to be in the tournament.

    I'm glad it was Notre dame and not Wisconsin getting dismantled last night by UNC. And Notre Dame played a good game. LOL

    I would have liked to see UVA get to the final four. Man did they choke the last 10 min. of the game though. UNC and Nova seem to be the most balanced teams left. It would be an awesome final between Nova and UNC. OU can't be discounted but they rely so heavily on the 3 pointer, when they are hitting no one can beat them but when they don't they are average. These games being played in domed stadiums usually mess with the shooters from a depth perception standpoint. Should be an interesting weekend of basketball.
