    I like Bruce Pearl as an in-game coach and personality, but I think he just got what he deserved.

    Even sweeter that Michigan was the team to give that ass whipping to him.

    -First team ever to win a tourney game with 0 free throws made

    - Michigan's 75-45 win over Tennessee is the largest victory ever by an 8 seed in the Men's Basketball Championship, besting the previous record by 7 points. Of the 4 other 8 seeds to win a game by at least 20 points, 1998 Rhode Island and 2002 UCLA proceeded to knock off the region's top seed in the Round of 32.

    Ugh.

    Four years I've been at GU. And in each of those four years, they've been ranked in the top 10 at some point in the season.

    Results: Second NCAA round exit, NIT 1st round exit, 1st round NCAA exit, 1st round NCAA exit.

    Sigh.

    By only big disappointment so far has been Louisville. I lost 8 first round games but had only one of my losing teams winning their second game. So far so good I guess. I do have Florida winning the current game, but I fucking hate Florida so I'd really love to see UCLA pull one off here.

    Every fucking year you destroy my brackets Pitt, every fucking God damn year. I was doing so good this year but I fucking picked you to win it all. Fuck you. The easiest road to the final four ever and you lose to fucking Butler. I told myself after you cost me again last year that I wouldn't pick you, but fuck, you got such an easy road. Fuck you Pitt.

    Now I have to listen more to fucking Barkley's mouth.

    So I didn't see it...but am I correct in thinking that a referee called a foul with 0:01 left...in a tie game...on a defensive rebound? Thus essentially giving them the victory when the ball was 90 feet from their hoop?

    Wow. Regardless of the merits of the call, that referee has balls of steel.

    There was a foul called on Butler with 2 secs left that let Pitt tie the game.

    If you watch the replay, there's zero question it was a foul. Ballsy for the ref for sure, but it was absolutely the right call. My question is how you could be so aggressive in going for a rebound in a tie game with barely a second left and the ball 90 feet from the opponent's basket. Pitt deserved to lose.

    That being said, thank you Pitt for being the perennial March underachievers I knew you'd be. Of course K-State had to go out and fuck my bracket over, but you gotta take the good with the bad I guess.

    This UNC - UW game is a fucking shootout... 74 - 71 with more than 6 minutes remaining in the game.

    There is not enough liquor in the world for me to deal with this right now.

    Man, I thought that the Huskies were going to pull that one out at the end. What a game, the last 15 seconds were tense.

    Absolute heartbreaker against the Blue Devilz. Good run Michigan

    VCU could be this year's George Mason.

    If they can take care of Georgetown and Purdue handily, they have a decent shot against ND.

    Is it just me, or does there seem to be a LOT of boneheaded plays at the end of games this tournament? I know these guys are 19-20 years old, but come on.

    Ex:
    Pitt/Butler fouls
    Henson almost goaltending at end of UNC/UWash
    the Texas timeout
    and I feel there was one more where a guy fouled in the final seconds that lost the game. Can't remember which game it was though.

    Between that meltdown and Marquette coming up big, I am just ecstatic. I don't enjoy hearing the Big East is overrated crap, cause the conference is what everyone knew it was (an collection of very good teams, but no dominant teams), but Marquette back in the Sweet 16 and ND getting embarrassed makes me oh so happy. If only Wisconsin could have lost too...

    To add to that list, the Syracuse backcourt in the final seconds of a tie ball game, giving Marquette the ball back after Boeheim just called a timeout to draw up a play. So so boneheaded and a very shitty way to go out.
