Announcers sound really concerned about Louisville now. Looks like their team might lose.
It’s too bad Minnesota will run into anothe B1G team in the next round. Oh, and whoever wins that game could potentially play another B1G team in Maryland. Thanks committee!

Almost every player in the country palms/carries the ball on virtually every dribble. It's one of the most egregious changes in the game over the last 15 years or so. As far as I know, the rules have not changed, but "dribbling" has become "carrying" anyway. It's more like rugby, especially when you add the fact that "traveling" is often overlooked as well.
Under-seeded, and built in safety guards to prevent deep runs in the tourney. Really nice job outta the committee.
Haha. Yep. Desperately wanting Louisville to win.
MN with a good showing. Hopefully Hawks can do the same and make the committee look like fools

Love the way Minnesota rebounds. They are monsters--but definitely not King Kong--on the boards. They rebound, all the time, the way I wish Iowa would--especially Cook. But all the bigs could learn a lot from Minnesota's aggressive work on the boards.
Congrats to the Gophers. Too bad they now have to face MSU. Well done, committee.

It's never good thing when you lose the first game of the tournament in your pool.

Yale (#14) down 6 to LSU (#3) with a minute to go. C'mon, Yale!
Yale hits a three. Still time for the upset.
Yale hits ANOTHER three. Still down by 4 with 30 seconds to go. Did I say c'mon, Yale!
Yale falls 79-74. Not exactly a cake walk for LSU, but Yale couldn't quite pull it off. Too bad.

I agree. And if Coffey had been doing it in the way almost every other player in the country does, I would have just dismissed it as part of the game now. But he does it in such an egregious way that he creates serious advantages for himself. I am guessing the L'Ville coach was in the refs ear about it and he finally had to call it.
Wasn’t impressed with LSU. Yale would have won that game if they would have shot anywhere close to their season average on 3’s. Winner of Belmont/Maryland takes them out.
Everyone keeps talking Belmont over Maryland. Not a chance in hell
Would love to see Florida St, and the ACC in general, go down in flames today, along with the committee's seeding.
MSU been whistled for 9 fouls with 4 to go in the first. I’ll bet that’s close to the most all season in a half
Wow. They did everything they could do to lose that game.

Like Pearl said, "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good." NM State had three FTs to win or tie the game and only made one, with the third going halfway down, sitting on the front of the rim, and then falling out. Once again we see the value of FT defense. It won the game for Auburn by ONE point after NM State also missed a wide open three at the buzzer. Yes, Bruce, lucky is right . . .

Amazing what happens when refs blow whistles evenly.
Remember when Iowa led the nation in rebounding under Tom Davis?Love the way Minnesota rebounds. They are monsters--but definitely not King Kong--on the boards. They rebound, all the time, the way I wish Iowa would--especially Cook. But all the bigs could learn a lot from Minnesota's aggressive work on the boards.

Seems like Iowa sagged in so far to have rebound position they tended to be the victims of lights out shooting.
how would you like to be the New Mex State player who gets fouled on his 3 point attempt with under 2 secs to go and his team down 2? He makes all 3 FTs? His team wins by 1. He makes 2 of 3? His team at least goes to OT. Instead he makes 1 of 3 and his team loses by 1.
So Mich State is getting called for holding/grabbing?
jeebus. Auburn just played the dumbest minute of basketball since the sport was invented, and they still live on.
I wonder how many lbs. Pearl lost during that game.......had to be 5+
