One of those games you hate to see either team lose, instant classic.

Most players fouled out in a tournament game?

I love college basketball but watching these dudes drives me crazy sometimes. Like it's their first day playing basketball.

Yup. It makes the game ugly, but also allows for crazy things to happen as well haha

If you would have told me Taylor + Obaseki would go 15-47 and they would lose by 5 I'd say your absolutely nuts. I didn't see the game but that's legit crazy

After watching 2 games, my thoughts as a foreigner :
Basketball is not very high level, especially at perimeter. Both Broadcasts had weird quality hick up, where you would hear coach interviews, but then like a minute later, they would play that very same interview that you already heard...
That said, I think the product is still better than NBA product. Even if you watch very ugly basketball, you still watch basketball. NBA broadcast, I think it is not a stretch to say, that at least half of it by now, has nothing to do with actual game being played. For how much commercialized NCAA is on every corner, game still flows like a basketball game.

Agreed. Every point means something in college. NBA has to many runs and guys taking plays off.

Conference still sucked this year. Carolina would finish fourth in big east.

Havng a hard time with Aztecs/UConn game. It's a rematch of the NC game from last season!
UConn is a really good team, probably the best in the nation. Defending champs. Great coach, good deep team.
San Diego State as well. Could be a revenge game.
I'm leaning towards Aztecs on my pick. Originally had UConn in the Final 4.
Gonna be a great game.
Anyhow, here's a cool state. This is the 4th such matchup of teams playing against each other in the NCAA tournament, after facing each other in the NC game the prior seaaon.

Highly doubt that. I would bet money on that if there was a way.
