Great win by IU over the no. 1 seed, Illinois, to reach the semis and hopefully punch it's ticket to the Dance regardless of what happens in the next game. A week ago, they had no chance.
Huge win for A&M over Auburn. I've been a Buzz Williams fan since he coached at Marquette. Always has his teams ready to play and compete at the highest level, as shown today.
I like Buzz as well Sid, he did a great job at VaTech and I think he's going to do well at A&M as well. Indiana got a big upset as well today. I see that Tom Crean was fired today at Georgia. He was really good at Marquette before Buzz, but didn't make it at IU. He took over a difficult situation at IU and it took a while to get it going, but when he had some good seasons he looked like he had turned it around. But then he had some mediocre seasons and the fired him. I thought he might resurrect his career at Georgia, but it was not to be. This year was awful.
Holy smokes... was busy at work and didn't want to jinx us by looking in before it was over. I think we're going dancing with that win! WOOHOO!!
I am sure it was fun. Today had to be even better, beating a possible number one seed in Auburn. You are in the Big Dance for sure. Congratulations and good luck. Will be pulling for you.
RU coach Steve Pikiel got a reward for his season of big wins. Contract extension, 4 years. Well deserved. Rutgers became the first unranked program in NCAA history to beat four consecutive ranked opponents, defeating then-No. 13 Michigan State, No. 16 Ohio State, No. 14 Wisconsin and No. 12 Illinois in February. The Scarlet Knights earned their first-ever win over a No. 1-ranked team, topping Purdue on a buzzer-beater at Jersey Mike's Arena in December. ADVERTISEMENT
Upset city in the Big 10. Michigan State over Wisconsin. Could we have a Purdue-IU final in Indianapolis? It's possible. Not likely but possible.
Michigan State got by Wisconsin tonight, I see Johnny Davis played for Whisky but his Stat line was not his usual 3-19 shooting. Wisconsin was the #2 seed. So far the #1, #2, #4 seeds have gone down in the BIG 10. Purdue #3 seed gets the #11 seed in PSU.
VaTech just thoroughly out played UNC tonight. Ran them out of the building in the 2nd half. Very impressive run by the Hokies in the ACC Tournament
IU got screwed! Iowa's 9th-year senior, Bohannon, failed to call bank on his game-winning 3 pointer. Shoulda been disallowed. Heckuva game. IU played its way from oblivion into the NCAA tournament.
The Aggies all-guard offense has turned the team and season around. Housed Arkansas today and should be firmly in the field of 68. Damn this is fun again!
Tournament basketball is about getting hot at the right time! Ag's picked the right time to get it figured out. Same as VaTech
Isn't there some kind of scandal involving an NCAA investigation? Bobda, you probably know this and are making the point that even an NCAA investigation shouldn't be a problem for a winning coach at LSU.
Yes it's been on going for several years, Wade is one of the coaches caught up in the FBI wire tap from a few years ago. Initially LSU suspended him but then reinstated him.
