    That UNCG turnover on the alley-oop attempt with a minute left...I can't find the words to express how bad a decision that play was.

    Gonzaga deserved to lose. But I bet this wakes them up and they go to final 4 (I don't think as far as championship though).

    A lot of it was UNC-greensboro. They played a good game.

    I've got Miami-ULC up right now. This is one of the upsets I've picked (knowing precisely nothing about the team), so I'm hoping for the best.

    Absolutely. Which is why I said Gonzaga deserved to lose. I think UNC-G outplayed them in most parts of the game.

    My first big upset game just tipping off. I got South Dakota State knocking off Ohio State. Only reason is because it is a 12 vs 5 game and the coach of SDSU used to be an assistant at Iowa State, so I'm familiar with him.

    I picked them too, but only because my daughter asked me if there were any rabbits in the tournament. :lol:

    Love that the Jackrabbits are playing the Buckeyes even so far, and really rooting for Loyola-Chicago to pull off this upset against Miami. Down 2 with 4 minutes left--I believe!!

    They just got screwed. That was a foul on MIA on that rebound put-back by L-C.
