That looked conclusively off Kentucky. Not sure what Gene is seeing. Stick to football!

Finally the jerkface announcers (Steretone useful as always!) get it right. Why did those idiots need 10 replays?

 Kentucky had won 30 straight NCAA Tournament games against double-digit seeds since losing to 11-seed LSU in the 1986 Elite 8.

If the Creighton guy takes that ball strong to the hole, I don’t think the defender can avoid fouling without going full turnstyle. Dude was back on his heels.

Other than Arkansas winning, nothing makes me happier than Kentucky losing. I haven't been able to stand them ever since Joe B Hall was the coach. Duke losing is second to them losing.

Perhaps you guys can sue the NCAA to overturn the L.
I don’t even understand what this is in reference to but maybe you can petition the ACC to keep UCONN out of the conference again.

edit: I would also be very angry if my team had not received a bid to the big dance for 13 years. It’s not your fault.

Kentucky losing is always awesome. Now just need the Hogs to take care of business to rub it in even more.

I usually do pretty good with my brackets, college basketball is really not in my wheelhouse, but I've had some pretty good runs and have done well specifically with the final four all things considered.

As of right now, I'm done.

I had Kentucky winning it all.

What a colossal choke job.

As a former Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference coach, I'm just so god-damned happy with St. Peter's here. FWIW, they play in what is easily the worst facility in D-I. They deserve this.

Oh, and fuck John Calipari.

An Arkansas player on a breakaway just did a triple jump approach to draw a defender into his back and get fouled. Add that crap to the flop rule.

San Diego State has choked this game away 3 times. 9-2 run at the first half, 9-0 at the end and now this.
What exactly was the plan with the inbound. Their best scorer is inbounding the ball, is going to move away from the basket, and try to get a screen handoff with 4 seconds? Why not get him the ball while moving toward the hoop?

A much better team lost cause coaching there.

So why the fuck are they playing West bracket games in Buffalo? Or have they ever cared about geography with these games and I never paid attention.
