Perry Ellis is still a junior? I was certain he was a 7th year senior.
His Wikipedia page currently has his birth year as 1952. Sounds about right.

Apparently Darion Atkins from UVA called out his teammates after the game: "I felt like I wanted it more". While I tend to agree with him, I'm sure there will be some fun conversations to be had.
 
It feels like Virginia loses early in the tourney whenever they are in it.

It seems like betting on UVA, Villanova, and ND is usually a bad move in March

#34 for Kansas looks like he's 34 years old. Also, they didn't retire Paul Pierce's number? He's still their 8th leading scorer of all time.

I love this Wichita team. They got screwed with their second round matchup to Kentucky last year(easily one of the best #8 seeds in history) and that game was one of the best games in college basketball in the past few years. And they didn't get any favors with a 7 seed this year. I hope they make a run and I hope they smoke Kansas.

Texas should just use their entire endowment to buy the entire Wichita State University, as an educational hostile takeover of sorts,  just so they could get Marshall to replace Barnes.

It's them and Rollie's Nova. Third place is DISTANT IMHO.

I hate commercials. I especially hate these same 8 commercials.

I understand that this entire tournament enterprise largely exists precisely to show the commercials and not the other way around. That makes me even more annoyed.

in the bonus already. Shockers playing too much defense with their hands. If Kansas gets back in it, I guess that's how they will do it.

Shockers need to be disciplined with defense, boxing out, and ball possession. game is being called tight. They should be up 20-25 with the way Wessel and Co. are shooting were it not for fouls, and giving away possession earlier in the half. .

Kansas ramping up the pressure. That might get them back in the game but they are going to be out of gas in the last 90 minutes.

Baker passed on an open 3 and then the turnover. Shockers trying time wasting mode. Gotta keep playing.

False edit: like that!

Wichita St. playing impressively aggressively despite the big lead, and it's paying off.

This is silly. Every time it looks like Kansas is going to make a run, they screw up and Witcha State gets an easy bucket.

Always good to see overconfident assholes go down to schools 'beneath' them. Self better schedule them now if he has any pride.

Oklahoma should be destroying Dayton, but as usual, teams that play against the Flyers forget how to make layups, open jumpers, and they pass to the wrong color jerseys.

And now Dayton starts making their threes.  Every game is like a replay of the one before it with them.
