My favorite stat from @ESPNStatsInfo about this Gonzaga/Florida State game: Gonzaga has taken 26 layups tonight — and Florida State has contested 26 of them. Zags only 9 for 26 on layups.

Florida State won two road games in the ACC the entire year and lost their last three by 15, 20 and 13.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Michigan team from the Big 10 tourney showed up tonight. Hope they can ride that to the Final Four.

The rest of the games were a bit surprising, to say the least.

FSU’s length vs. Michigan’s shooting will be interesting to see. I think Michigan wins a tight one.

So disgusting to me that these UK kids are being forced to sit up there and answer reporters questions. The NCAA....it's Fan-tastic!!!

This was obvious this year. every week teams in the "top 10" would lose a couple times. Heck, Carolina had 10 losses going into the NCAA tournament and was a 2 seed. Kansas has 7 and is a 1 seed.

Funny that you are rooting against Duke but also rooting for Huggy. If Duke gets to the Final Four and Nova doesn’t this thing is ovah

Wow, these are some weak fucking calls being made against West Virginia. 3-4 on one trip down the floor. Really?

Bridges just got owned.
One of the greatest blocks you'll ever see. Bridges takes off from 8 feet away for the giant one handed jam, and Konate goes straight up, two handed right in front of the rim and denies him clean. Both guys heads were almost parallel to the rim at the time of the block. Talk about playing above the rim.

West Virginia is relentless. Villanova must be thinking, "We got stuck with Wva when other teams are playing Loyola and Nevada and Syracuse?"

West Virginia is a nightmare matchup for most teams who do not get to see their pressure style twice a year.

Life does not get much better than Nantz reading a Masters promo.

It's just a foul fest now. They won't even let WVU play defense. Any contact is a foul on them. It's most definitely not the same on the other end of the floor.

Clemson let Kansas run off 28 seconds on the clock down 7. I don't think that was the right move. They are down 5 with 19 seconds left.
