Man, what a bummer that the East and Midwest are on the same day. Each of those games is one I'd rather focus on instead of flipping channels all night long. The other regionals aren't nearly as compelling.

I can't believe either Stanford or Dayton will be playing for a spot in the Final Four.  Gads.
 
Of course, either one will get annihilated by Florida, but still...

I'd love to see UCLA beat Florida....ain't gonna happen but
 
How many times have the Gators beaten the Bruins in the tournament recently? They beat them in both of their national championship runs. Good Gator omen.

I wish I had the balls to pick one of them in my survivor pool.  Would rather save Zona, Fla, and Baylor.

Stanford is just as long as Cuse and better coached...

Florida should beat either team by 15 or more. Shit, they'd probably beat a Dayton/Stanford all-star team by 15 as well.
 
It's fantastic that teams like Wichita, Duke, Villanova, Cuse, and Kansas are gone already and either Dayton or Stanford are going to the final 8.

Archie Miller looks like he should be playing Kevin Arnold in the final Wonder Years episode.

How about the fact that Miller has found a way to rotate 7 bench players into action tonight? All have points or rebounds, and the 4 scorers have 17.
 
Meanwhile the Cardinal are going to be in a world of hurt foul-wise down the stretch.

Wisconsin is all over Baylor early.
 
Baylor's 4 for 18 from the floor. Jesus.
 
Oh, and through 16+ minutes the Badgers haven't even been to the free throw line yet, and they're still up 25-11.

Brutal in-and-out miss on a three for Dayton. Went around the rim at least twice. Stanford scores at the other end on a great move by Powell to cut it to 47-43.

What game are some people watching?  Dayton is playing absolutely amazing on the offensive end. 
 
Not sure, the Dayton game has been fun to watch. The Baylor game makes me want to rip my eyeballs out.

Dayton is really well coached.  Norman Dale would be proud.  Textbook on how a smaller, quicker team can beat size.  But Dayton had better do better at the line if they want to advance further.

There is nothing worse in basketball than officials making bad calls from the opposite side of the court when 2 refs are closer and decide to let a play go. Absolutely asinine. 
 
It's made even worse in college with only 5 fouls.

The only things worse are these UCLA jerseys.

It's also worth noting that as bad as NBA refs are, college basketball refs are infinitely worse.  Epic incompetence.

Zach LaVine is moving at 3 times of the speed of Kyle Anderson. And yet is generally less effective.
 
Amazing to watch them on the same team together. It's like they are 2 different species.

Also kind of amazing Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller are both announcing their alma maters tonight.  Could that have possibly been random?

Meanwhile, San Diego State is dominating Arizona with halftime approaching. If the Aztecs could just finish some of their easy, uncontested shots, they'd be up 16 right now instead of 8.

Dominant, yet only up 6.  Arizona will get back into this soon.
 
Yeah, SDSU will regret not closing the deal on so many of those buckets close in.
 
Nearly a miracle three by Nic Johnson at the buzzer, but too late.
 
A 24-14 rebound margin for the Aztecs.

Holy crap, that one-handed running slam of the alley-oop might be the thing that gets Arizona out of their funk.
