Oh man, Texas' big man probably should have fouled out on a very illegal screen. No call, and he gets a tip in.

Wow. Manhattan with 4 emphatic points to start the 2nd half. Down by just 2 now, and Pitino calls an immediate time-out.

Any ASU fans need something to complain about, Ridley had the two biggest buckets for Texas after he should have fouled out.
 
Still. Not his fault the refs are bad.

I just learned that their school is located in the Bronx. Manhattan my ass!
 
It was originally in Manhattan, but moved to Riverdale almost a century ago.

I've got one bracket with my entire sweet 16 still alive.  Considering how much I fucking suck every year in this thing, this is a big development.  This is also the only bracket where I have Louisville losing to Wichita State (have them losing to Duke in another and going to the Final Four in another). I think a Louisville loss could give me a chance of actually still being in the hunt after day 1 in decades.

Meanwhile, everyone who was bitching and pontificating about Louisville deserving a 2- or even a 1-seed has suddenly gone silent.

Lucky.
My main bracket is down two Sweet 16 teams already, and yet I still somehow am only about 3 points back of first in possible points remaining.

Look, there are plenty of cases where 1-4 teams played down to the 13-16 teams and then gone wild the rest of the tourney.

I have chalk in both my brackets for the Sweet 16 (except VCU beating UCLA in one), so I'm good except for that one matchup.  But Louisville better fuckin' win.

Louisville better just get by this game, before they worry about going wild later on in the tournament.  I think Dog is being proven right at the moment.  Louisville really didn't play much competition this year, and right now, they look really deserving of that 4 seed (if it should even be that high).

So, how many college basketball players are there in the tourney?  15 per team, 64 teams?  960 players.  Each player could have a million if collectively they threw the tourney.

JUST SAYING.
