UNC needed a sacrificial lamb in the second round. So UW is playing on house money now.
If Washington plays defense like they're capable of they will give UNC fits however, I don't expect them to keep it close down the stretch.

That big 7’4” guy for Florida St makes them a much different tourney team than the ones that generally shrank in the tourney as the heat went up.

The Reffing has been absolutely terrible all tournament. The more college basketball I watch, I realize the rules and reffing limit the quality of basketball.

Holy moly, this center for UCF is a giant of a man. Duke might struggle if they can’t dictate tempo

It's looking like Oregon may be the only team that isn't a 5 seed or higher in the s16. They're the one Cinderella.

By my count, I had over 30 devastatingly brilliant takes on the games last night, all of which are lost from our site going down. You all would have genuflected in the face of my astounding observations.

Instead, I'm forced to lay my body across your doorway and beg you to notice me on your way back in.

I'd have commented that the last 10 regulation minutes of Tenn/Purdue was some of the most fun tourney action I've seen in a bit. That was a hell of an ending to regulation.

Yup. This is the first year Auburn has been to back to back tournaments since 2000. Before last year they hadn't been to the tournament in 15 years and were the perennial doormat of the sec. Now they are a game away from the final 4.

Why do I watch games like Va Tech - Duke? I must be a glutton for punishment.

The Hokies are going to keep it close, but in the end Duke and the zebras will pull it out.

At least UNC lost but man, in this year's tourney, you have to destroy a higher seed to beat them. Otherwise, it's all WTF moments to lose down the stretch.
