Utter heartbreak for Houston. Two missed free throws could have iced the game for the Cougars.

Great ending to Purdue/Butler. Dakota Matthias with the dagger three and Kemar Baldwin's half court shot rims out. Love to see Purdue moving on after losing Isaac Haas. Feel terrible for that kid. Reminds me of Brian Butch going down also with an elbow injury late in '07. That was a Final Four caliber team before Butch got injured.

yeah Butch breaking his Elbow ended what could have been a Final 4 team. They ended up with a 2 seed, but never had the magic.

I remain concerned about the potential for benality in the Round of 32 and beyond. Let's hope that there are at least a FEW upsets in Round 2. Having North Carolina, Michigan State & Cincinnati has more shockers than one can handle. Wow!

Loved seeing cheating UNC get hammered, and even more watching Clemson annihilate Auburn. If the NCAA had a shred of dignity, neither of those schools would even be fielding teams for a while.
But I still have a bad feeling it will be something like Kentucky/Duke in the end.

Loyola and Kansas State pull upsets to reach the Elite 8. Michigan slaps around Texas A&M.

Yeah. there was about 70 fouls on kansas State, fortunately the Kentucky player, missed nearly every free throw. 8-20 from the line? thats Ben Wallace level free throw shooting.
