Hard for a ref to call that. He toe touched.

No doubt. They aren't calling that in that situation. But he def walked.

Awful Saturday. Average margin of victory was 15+pts. Only 2 single digit games. LSU game winner was a 4 step travel that wasn't called. 3 final four teams are eliminated from 2018

Yes, that was an awful Saturday of basketball. Today has had one good game thus far. Duke-UCF is close at the moment.

Duke survives! Wow! What a freak ending!

UCF could beat a lot of team in this tourney. I thought they got a bum seed to have to play Duke in round 2. They played great.

Reddish, Zion, and Barrett all came through at the end.

Reddish is still trash though. He stunk for most of the game.. It would be so Bulls for them to take him at like 4 or 5.

Idk what UCF was doing on that lob. Literally, a simple bounce pass and layup and they probably win.

I like it when the majority of the people pick 12/5 upsets, so that you can get value by picking a team like Wisconsin or Auburn getting to the Sweet 16. People have Maryland losing to Belmont, and Belmont hasn't even won their play-in game yet.

Auburn was lucky as hell to win their game over the #12, and all three of the other 5's lost. So much for value.

I watched some ESPN bracketology special...Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Greenberg, Jay Will, DICKIE V, etc...nearly all of them had only 1&2 seeds in the Elite 8...I think Rece had Buffalo in his Elite 8, but he was the only one to break chalk. Glad I tuned in.

To be fair, this year, as much as any in recent memory, has a pretty clear separation, at least from the Top 10 or 12 to the rest.

Most likely it's Avenetti needing his name in the papers.

 

[zack54attack]

That didn't last long!

Dude needs to go away.

Avenatti makes Trump look good. Hard to do that but he's accomplished it.
Apparently Duke got some calls vs UCF but I don't think they got any Duke favors from the refs.
Anyone else have some thoughts?

 

[Hawkeye OG]

Wow. Iowa came back.. and then lost.

This was so typical I wasn't even surprised.

That game was very fair. Duke got lucky at the end. Those Freshmen killers doe. To keep coming, doesnt happen often at that age. Coach K was so emotional over it because he knew how hard UCF fought. I said it before the tourney. That is a very good team that got a bad seed. That is the best any team has played against Duke with their full starting lineup. UCF has nothing to be ashamed of with that effort. One of the best basketball games I have seen in awhile where the roll didnt fall their way. Mad respect.

 

[zack54attack]

Carsen Edwards is good.

 

[SilenceS]

Tennessee is choking. They just make their free throws. Its a 3 point game. lol

 

[zack54attack]

What a comeback by Tennessee. And what a way to win it by Purdue.

 

[zack54attack]

Good game here with Oregon-UVA

 

[SilenceS]

Two real good games tonight

 

[bamainatlanta]

Auburn just destroyed UNC. Okeke being out probably means their run ends in the Elite 8
