    Wake Forest was cruising in this game with a 13 point lead at halftime. Momentum has shifted in the second half and W. Virginia has made it a 5 point game, and Chris Paul just picked up his 2nd foul after picking up an offensive foul.

    Shew, keeps going back and forth.

    WVU has an 85-83 lead with Paul going to the line....

    This game is way too close, if Wake wins, they are going to need to play better ball to win the tourney.

    Downey hit his second big 3 of the game, and what a block to send it into double OT.

    This game is so close. It's still tied after the 1st OT, 93 - 93.

    Wow, what a game. This is starting to remind me of Old Dominion-Villanova, first round 1995. Go Wake!

    If WVU manages to pull off the upset, I'm officially done in. I had Wake Forest winding up as the national champions. If the Demon Deacons do lose, would it signify Paul returning for one more shot?

    I am basically done for. I had Wake winning in my money league.

    Great game by WVU, but like Trip said, will Paul be back for one more go around now?

    Man, I don't know anything about the brackets and that stuff. I just want Paul's stock to be high so if the Knicks go into the lottery, they can snag someone in the draft.

    I have Wake losing to Texas Tech in the Sweet 16, so this does nothing but help my bracket if the upset does happen...wait a second, Wake may not be dead after all...

    Downey does not quit. Strickland rushed his one three, that was the nail for Wake, they had time to drive and get a two and then foul, but he rushed an ugly 3 shot.

    Great effort by Downey and Paul in OT..these refs were way to strict also. Who calls palming? I mean honestly..it wasn't even a clean call...it was very questionable.

    Yes! Yes! I called it! I called it! Yes!

    My bracket is still alive, I have lost two Elite 8's so far (Gonzaga and Kansas) but with Wake, Syracuse, and Kansas all dieing, I have a damn good chance.
