Every team eventually loses because they can't score enough points

I feel like the writing was on the wall for Virginia after they lost in their conference tourney (though I guess I did have them going through in my more generic bracket) and SD State has been pretty disappointing compared to what was expected from them, also they may have had a few players ill today.

Trying to force his way into the lottery. Might have worked.

He's inching closer that's for sure...can you imagine if he has another breakout game vs UK?

Grant should declare by the way....he looks ready to play in the pros.

Grant is a senior. No declaration necessary.

Tough loss against a strong team. I'll save the semi-pro shtick for another time. Good game.

7th seed UConn won the title last season. Deja vu all over again with another 7th seed? Probably not but amazing Tom Izzo can't ever be counted out with any team he gets into the tournament.

Sheeesh was feeling good about my picks headed into the elite 8, went to Canada and didn't see the games but only Kentucky survived.

I deleted the game from the DVR but hats off to Wisconsin for crushing my Cats. When 7 footers go off for 3s, it's unbeatable

Whoa. Didn't expect to see Kentucky fall behind like this. Now's when we'll see what they're made of.

I always forget just how much fun it is to watch college hoops until March Madness. Those kids put it all out there on the line for every single second of every game. It's been probably 40 years since I was at a college game. I should probably put that on my bucket list to do at least once more. Maybe when the new arena is built and the NCAA tournament returns to Sacramento.

They said Coach Cal didn't even get film of Wisconsin. Said he wanted his team to just focus on their game. It's beginning to look as though he might have made the wrong choice.

Never mind...

Regardless of who faces Duke, it's gonna have to go a long way to be a better game than this has been.

I really want Kentucky to win, but not because of the officiating.

Talk about a nail biter... I'd sure like to see Towns do something spectacular here on the offensive side.

If I'm a Badger fan right now, I'm throwing things. HORRIBLE officiating. Oh wait...maybe they're trying to even things out.

Regardless of who wins, the other team will be able to point to some very poor officiating. And that's not the way a Final Four game should go.

You're going to call THAT in the last 30 seconds? That's good defense.

Kaminsky draft stock gonna be climin'. If he can perform like this vs Okafor he should be top 8 for sure.
