The NCAA tournament always has some nice little teasers. But for the most part, it's about making you sick every fucking year. Can we come up with some different hobbies?

I haven't seen Miami this year. I love the pseudo-short shorts. Do other teams have these? I hope our new uniforms copy it.

Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

He thinks they already technically won because they're not down by 10 at the half.

The first real final four in three years is going to potentially get Duke-North Carolina and Villanova-Kansas. Fucking gross, but could you imagine New Orleans if it was Arkansas, Houston, St. Peter's, and Miami? They might have widen the lane and changed the charge rule before next weekend.

15 points in the second half? Good job, good effort! Just like another Miami team.

I hate how Miami got my hopes up. If they had just been blown out in the first half I wouldn't care as much.

Damn, good for Saint Peter's. This should help attract students to their school as well.

• Final Four Coaches have 8 National Championships between them.

• Hubert Davis shows that a first year coach can get to a Final Four.

• 1 Pac-12 team still alive in the post season - could win the NIT if they don't Coug it.

If the finals is Duke v Kansas I probably won't watch that game, but my aunt Gerry went to Nova and so we cheered for them too, not as hard as for Zona though.

I can't think of a worse final four. Put Kentucky in for Villanova and that would make it the most nauseous Final 4 ever.

My dad went to Nova, so that’s my team.

Zero interest. Only thing I am rooting for is that Duke gets beat but I see little chance of that.

I'm not ready to count out UNC. They've been underdogs in every game so far. How amazing would it be to see Coach K belly flop in his final game, against his arch rival? Like, Duke fans would be sobbing for ages.

I think Kansas blew it by not delivering the death stroke. Nova absolutely got some momentum towards the end of that half.

Nova may be undermanned, but if there's one thing that's undeniable: Wright > Self

Nova deserves credit. They're missing guys, and they battled. Nothing for them to feel bad about.

How does AZ get to be one of these teams -- like Nova and UNC -- that get to the FF even in years they're not supposed to?

Duke is going to win this game going away because UNC doesn't have a bench. It would be a miracle if UNC won this game.
