It's the middle of the night. Checked my phone to see who won the St joespehs game and see that Texas a and m won too. Turned that one off with 30 seconds left.

Don't think you're alone. Probably the biggest choke job ever in the tournament. Worse than that Arizona/Illinois one a while back.

Not only that but according to Twitter coming back from 12 points down with less than a minute to go is the largest last minute comeback in college basketball history

AM made as many baskets in final 34 seconds (6) as they did in first half. That's mind blowing

Craziest thing to me is how disciplined UNI was the rest of that game and their Texas win. Most of the second half, they would come back from timeouts and get a basket or a stop to prevent A&M from cutting the lead.

In the least shocking news ever, Simmons declared and hired an agent

Friday
07:10 CBS = Virginia/Iowa State
07:27 TBS = Notre Dame/Wisconsin
09:40 CBS = Syracuse/Gonzaga
09:57 TBS = North Carolina/Indiana

That is potentially a crazy good slate of games, even if there aren't any true Cinderellas left. Only 3 teams outside the KenPom top 25, and the lowest is Notre Dame at 35.

Villanova/Miami at 4 and 11 is the best matchup.

Seems like Dixon is off to TCU(his alma mater). Most people I know are happy. He did have a hell of a run that Howland kicked off. Good coach but went stale it seemed like a long time ago. Didn't realize how much the recruiting dropped the past few years.

Would be super stoked to have Cronin at UNLV.

Okie St pushing hard like annoying girl who won't stop texting you after a one night stand hard for Underwood, still don't think it happens.

I can't speak for your or your reasons but that is the name I think most Pitt fans fear popping up the most. He is a troll from hell.

Just something completely different from our usual.

So if Nova won it all - would there be a parade and would Philly count it as a "title" for the city?

Back in '85 the Sixer's had won 2 years prior and Phils 5 years prior and Phils had been to another WS and the Birds were in SB and Sixer's in 3 title rounds. So while everyone was elated, I don't remember it being a beacon for the whole city. Flyers in finals in 80 too.

That was a sick time period - 80-81 all 4 of our teams made the final championship round, sadly only the Phils came away with a ring....

Bring me Will Wade or Archie Miller. Sean Miller ain't coming.

Archie's a good choice, maybe Danny Hurley too. Will Wade's been a head coach for 1 year, so I'm more hesitant with him.

by **WilliamC** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 17:21:57

I think Rutgers fans mostly wanted Hurley really bad then they made a Rutgers hire.

Everyone on Twitter says that Sean is actually the one that Pitt has a shot at. Archie waiting on Gottfried to get fired at NCst. Arizona is a top 10 job but Sean Miller can recruit anywhere so if Pitt and him are over the past that would be a heck of a hire. Especially if his ass is feeling warm at Arizona.

That is amazing if TCU is doubling his salary as reported.

If mone got a parade nova gets a parade.

Who doesn't like a parade
