Down 17 at the half. Do they have a second half comeback in them?

    Not exactly getting spanked now.

    Good game brewing.

    So much for that spanking...

    Holy Crap

    That game was CRAZY!

    I mean...I woulda loved the last shot to fall in, but dang was that a good game.

    I dont even have any complaints

    Did not see the end of that game, but that Memphis game had me on edge. I have them winning in two of my pools!!

    That was a great game with an unreal ending. image

    Just another underdog folding under pressure after having a double-digit lead. That's happened what, about 20 times in this tournament?

    This is the worst men's NCAA I can ever recall. Yeah, some of the games turned out interesting in the end, but it would have been more interesting if the 'dog would have been on the winning end once in a while...

    Great game, as was the Memphis- Texas A&M game. This is one of the best tourneys I've seen in a while. Should be more great games coming tonight.image

    Are you serious?

    This is by far one of the most entertaining tourneys ever. Maybe not the most interesting in terms of upsets, but every game has been good!

    I disagree if you consider the fact that the games are getting better as they go (and they should). You used to see a 12 seed upset a 5, then get blasted in their next game most of the time anyways. The objective of seeding is to get the best teams meeting later in the tourney, and that's mainly what has happened. It's fun to see a smaller school make a run sometimes, but I'd rather see 2 powerhouses knocking heads in the end.

    Yes, the games have been sometimes close and exciting (as tonight again) but the outcome is never in doubt. The top seed favorites win each time, every time. So far it's the same thing tonight. I don't think any tournament has ever been this predictable, and that's why I think it's the worst one I'ver ever seen.

    We're to the point where you KNOW the heavy favorite is going to come back and win, which eliminates the drama.

    In the end, I agree. But there's something to be said for a dark horse having a chance for at least the first 2-3 rounds. NONE of that this year.

    i have to agree with dd and i think this tournament has sucked so far. chalk teams are winning. no cinderalla story. i wonder what the ratings are like? i was hoping that gtown would lose. the guy moved his pivot foot and a nice no call. i wonder if it's a no call if the moving pivot foot was done by vandy. things that make you go hmmmm.

    I don't know if I've ever seen one team be the beneficiary of such lopsided officiating, game-in and game-out, as Ohio State has been so far.

    I don't have an ox to gore because I have nothing against them, but man, the good fortune in officiating they've had ever since the Xavier game is unbelievable.
