Where? On the cleanly blocked shot?

Sounded to me thru overhearing ref explain it, they could have changed it but refs believed the end zone angle showed his foot on the line. But the announcers misunderstood and thought it couldn't be reviewed

:) Yeah, good description.

They never call that a foul if you get the ball cleanly and hit the hand on the follow through, though.

What the hell is the ref at the hash mark doing making that call anyway? He has absolutely no idea where the Syracuse guy's foot was with respect to the line from where he was. That's why there's a ref on the baseline.

Most impressive UNC has looked all year. Poised. Measured. Consistent.

Need our guards to show again on Sunday and get Auguste in foul trouble. ND has no depth and limited interior play. Gonna be a good one.

Indiana can't play defense but they got stomped on.

UNC and UVA open at -9 and -8, respectively

I like the dogs in both games to cover

In a year of pure chaos during the regular season, I think we've probably got the top 6 teams in the country playing in the Elite 8.

Nova really drew the short straw on matchups.

Acc will finish at 19-7 or 20-6 and get about 40 million to split. Good year.

In the same year Clemson nearly won a national title in football. Great times for the ACC.

I was pretty happy with Nova's bracket. There weren't any terribly dangerous teams until today regardless of how the matchups worked out. And I'd rather play KU in a normal basketball arena than a huge dome.
