    Me too. Pretty much only care about Bama and Xavier tonight.

    Pac12 really let me down, though I should have expected it.

    Glad Bama lost.

    Looks like no #1s gonna make the elite 8. Maybe the only time ever. Only 3rd time a final four won't have a 1 in it.

    And I chose all #1s in the final four fml

    Heard a few analysts over the week on radio say they didn’t think anybody could be Alabama.

    Well, DOWN GOES FRAZIER!

    Alabama should stick to football and prison.

    Princeton’s a fun team to watch. Fundamental as all hell.

    Nembhard for Creighton is like a clone in style of play to his brother. Just doesn’t have the size

    Princeton.

    Man, even their high 5’s are calculated. Best high fives in the nation.

    Dude for Princeton might have a future in the NBA. 6’8” can handle the rock, create his own shot. They prefer him as their primary ball handler.

    UConn and Utah both upset. Two number one and two number two seeds out. First time UConn missed Final Four since 2007.

    Parity seems like it’s finally hitting womens ball. Used to be you could count on UCONN, Tennessee or Stanford to be the only competitors year in and year out.

    At the end of the KState Michigan State game Barkley said, "I can't imagine anyone beating these guys." Talking about KState and I thought about the fact that they won that game by the skin of their teeth and now they just got beat. Fun team to watch though. Nowell is a great college player.

    As bad as the refs are in the NBA (but only really because they have clear biases) the refs in this tourney have been incompetent. There also aren't any dominant teams so if there was a year to rip on the level of play, coaching and officiating I can see this year being the one to voice those criticisms.

    That being said, the parity has made for a very entertaining tournament. I'll take the drama over the level of competition.
