Syracuse is giving this game away but Indiana won't take it.

I think the game exposed how much Indiana relied on the three all season. When Syracuse covered them from distance and challenged drives, they looked really bad. Still, I don't see all of the Cody Zeller hate. He's not going to face that kind of a zone in the NBA, and he is a good athlete.

The weakest part of Zeller's off. game has always been his left-hand drives. He moves too slow and he barely elevates. Why he passed up all those open shots from the foul line is a mystery, and probably a big reason Indiana lost. I bet he had more than half his shots blocked. He'll still be a good pro. If he learns to take the open outside shot.

Clearly had a lot of his shots blocked, but that's because the Syracuse zone is allowed to camp out in the paint. Not that he won't be blocked in the pros, but he will at least have more space to maneuver. And yes, he should have shot those jumpers- he will learn in the pros.

He wasn't elevating on his lefty drives, but this led some to suggest that he is incapable of jumping, something that is patently untrue. He's not going to be an NBA star, but he'll be good.

Elijah Johnson intentionally punched McGary in the nuts but wasn't ejected. Should've been. Refs too scared.

Hyperbole, but still clutch.

I really dislike Michigan, I hope Kansas pulls it out.

my god, johnson jacks up every shot for kansas in over time. but the one time he gets to the rim he kicks it out for a terrible 3 point attempt.

the pg plays.

Go Gators! Time to derail this Eagles run. PEACE.

Naah, lets send a 15th seed to the elite 8.

Fckin' hate Duke. Louisville, too. Good that one will lose; bad that the winner will probably win the title.

My Hoosiers got absolutely schooled. Game was over in the first fckn' 12 minutes. Ugly. Like a fat piece of white trash beating her kid in the candy aisle at a Terre Haute Walmart! Just plain ugly.
