I had Wisconsin. If Houston wins I’m 15/16.I have UC Irvine over Oregon. Might be the only Sweet 16 team I missed on.

would have been a bigger margin of victory if they weren't forcing it late to get guys shot back on track. No doubt he'll be shooting daggers Thursday. He looked like death out there tonight. Great game for MamadiSmooth win. Now face a 12 or 13 seed in sweet sixteen. Doesn’t set up much better than that.
A depressing way for any Anteater fans to look at this is that they held the Ducks scoreless for the first 7:32 of the second half...….and are still down 4.Oregon needed 7:32 to score in the 2nd Half.
Only the second time all the 1s, 2s, and 3s have made the S16...the other time was 09.all the 1 2 3s survived the weekend. two 4s, a 5, and a 12/13. yawner.
Barnes touched on this in his post-game presser. Said that it was Schofield who told him that Alexander was playing great and to keep him in there because he couldn't defend the way he'd need to with 4 fouls. Barnes also (correctly imo) added that the players have a better feel than the coaches in their feel for certain situations such as this.Did Schofield foul out? Why wasn't he in the court?
I meant size-wise when going up against Fall in that he seemed to throw himself into him a lot to try and create contact (which I thought there was a lot both ways), but sort of seemed to bounce off of him. I know there aren't a lot of players Fall's size, but in the NBA Zion will be facing a lot bigger and stiffer competition at the 4 and 5... so he's not going to be able to go through players as much going to the hoop. It's just what I saw, but he seemed to sort of flop and bounce off a lot today.. even with 32 points.Zion scored 32 points, or 42% of his team's total. He didn't look that small.
It's also easier to put someone off balance if they're moving/jumping to get a rebound if you put your hand on their hip. It looked like a push to me, but just on this level of a no-call, but it did seem to completely change his ability to go up.I don’t think Dawkins boxed out hard but he did put himself between the hoop and Barrett, and with two hands Barrett pushed him a good four to five feet under the other side of the basket. Either it was a harder shove than you think or Dawkins completely gave up for some unknown reason. Or he’s a total wuss. I think the last two options are least likely.
Yeah..the ball changed direction in the area of the rim (which means it had to have hit it).. one angle from the side clearly showed it.It clearly rotated back towards the board after skimming off the rim.
Personally, I don't find that to be a yawner. I like when the low seeds have big upsets early on, but when it's time to really decide the championship, I want the big boys playing. I want to see the very best. Unless (!!!) I could somehow be ensured that one of the low-ranked teams would win it all, like NC State in 1983 or Nova in 1985, something like that. But quite often, when a low seed makes it to the Final Four, they get blown out. So I'm fine with the heavyweights going at it from this point forward.all the 1 2 3s survived the weekend. two 4s, a 5, and a 12/13. yawner.

That's true, but Kentucky was the best 8 seed in the history of the the tournament. I don't mind the chalks winning as much as I like the games to have drama. These past four days have been very limited on the drama front, and only a couple of buzzer beaters were even attempted. None came close to going in.5 years ago a 7 seed beat an 8 seed in the finals.
UCF has a well balanced rebounding frontcourt with 3 others avg over 5 per game......even Allen is over 3. I'd place a lot of this on todays game with some many mid-range to long rebounds off missed 3's since Fall is usually only occupying space deep in the paint. Fall did also only play 21 of those last 36 minutes.Tacko only had 3 rebounds over the last 36 minutes. How is that possible?
