Hey Kelvin - have 5 guys equally spaced around the 3P line and do not move inside of it. Maybe foul if they get it in.

You’re welcome.

Taylor 5-25 shooting, bad foul on the 3 pointer in OT

What a disgusting timeout by A&M. Khris is shaking his head right now

Good advice. Why you chase inside the arc with 1.2 seconds left and up three is beyond me. Possibly the dumbest coaching move since the Kidd 4-pt play gambit.

There are some potential great games the next 2 nights. Hopefully they are all close going into the last 5 minutes. I like the favorites except I think Creighton gets the upset.

I know he's a volume shooter, but Caleb Love has really truly been awful.

I love watching Arizona lose. Pun not intended.

Caleb Love - 13 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers, 5/18 FG, 0/9 3FG.

Blown dunk by Bacon was such a huge swing. Probably win the game if that doesn't happen

AZ and UNC going down is bad for my bracket, but very satisfying to watch.

CBS games tonight were excellent. Not gonna make it to the end of this Ill/ISU game, but looks like it's picked up too.

And so much for those 1/2 seeds.

Momcilovic was not offered by Wisconsin or Marquette. There was a lot of hand-wringing if you look at his season stats.

I watched the game last night and now looked at his season stats split by when he actually plays good competition. He's just a freshman so he could improve, but...

Verdict: Not a huge miss

So weird to watch Grant Nelson pull the full hype-video bag out in the Sweet 16 after a pretty underwhelming year in Tuscaloosa. The dude is obviously a super talented iso player. Why did Roy let him cook like that?

More excited for tonight's games than last. Anticipating that means it'll be a letdown after last night's games were largely exciting.

You do realize that Momcilovic of this season would be the best and most productive freshman big within the last 20 years of the UW program aside from Ethan Happ and it's not even particularly close right?

I think the hand wringing is that Momcilovic is seemingly the exact UW archetype of big man that both Bo and Gard like to recruit, white, good shooter, fundamentally sound, projects to stay multiple years, big time winner in HS, plus his HS coach played for UW, and of course he's a local kid...and yet somehow UW doesn't even offer him but they'll offer some random white stiffs from Minnesota who take 2-3 years to get near the current production of Momcilovic.

36% on fairly high volume 3s though, we wouldn't really want that, gotta get the ball in the post. Starting as a freshman on a 2 seed in the tourney shooting like that. Yea, I think we could've used him and frankly we'd have probably been better off with him starting than our 5th year senior this year. He's lucky Gilmore wasn't at IA St though, get caught sleeping once on D and he'd have him been since he knows where to be on D or something. Can't replace that kind of trustworthiness. But I have no idea how his recruitment went down, the stuff is such a mess these days its not worth paying attention to.

Illinois vs Iowa State was such a fun contrast in styles. I’m a NBA guy over NCAA (due to talent and skill) but NBA has lost these fun contrasts with every team playing the same. Remember like, the Grit Memphis Gris vs a chuck threes Phoenix or Houston? Those were such fun for fans. Just establishing the pace, was a battle. Illinois won with skill but Iowa State sure has guys that can put the handcuffs on you
