    It's time for Wisconsin to kick it into gear and take this game from Villanova since they are so weak.  I trusted @bgebrent and @YukonRon and picked accordingly.  

    Of course, it was easy for me to have some deja vu and have Wisconsin knock of Duke's top contender and get beat up doing it so Duke can take them when the time comes... a la 2015.
    I knew this game would be tenuous.  Wisconsin was under seeded.  Keep your fingers crossed brother.

    Depends on your bracket

    While i get your wit, just sayin from a neutral stand point. I didnt have NW but they got screwed. That no call on the goaltending and then the technical is a 3 point swing. That was yuge at that point in the game.

    Easiest answer to the officiating is to beat the crap out of the opposition so the officiating doesn't play.  Granted, easier said than done as the noose tightens, never mind the sphincter.

    Officiating has been hit and miss.  Most games called loose went both ways.  Tight games not so much.

    That non-call was awful.  Did seem like the official had Gonzaga for the win in their bracket.

    The Wiscy-Nova officiating was very bad at times, but it seemed to average out over the course of the game...

    How about the missed goaltending call in the NW Gonzaga game, then gave NW a technical for arguing in.

    They missed the interference call but NW's coach f'd up by getting the T.  Right or wrong, don't take the game away from the kids.

    Or if you do, make it legendary and lay the official out.

    Good to see the hometown baller Happ, and Hughes, handle Villanova in the paint.

    Agreed.  If you're gonna give points to the other team as a coach, better damn sure be ejected.  Calipari is a master.

    Yup, and apparently stupid.  Was hoping we could meet them and school them.

    No offense but I'm glad I didn't enter.  Too much rejection in disappointment is hard to handle.  On a good note, I did win the the BELLYFLOP Championship on our cruise over Spring Break.

    Ease up everybody-it's  braggin rights but still only a game-and UK is not looking like they are gonna blow out WS.  I will look at where I am on Monday-can't influence the outcomes and no reason to get axle-wrapped about the games.  
    Now, if you have a fair amount of change riding on the outcomes-a different story.  A friend of mine goes to Vegas every  year (for at least the past 15 +) and meets up with 3-4 buddies and they wager on all 48 games of the first two rounds.

    @thetrim, congrats on the victory. I'm sure it was well-deserved. But you should have taken a shot on this to see if you can ride your winning streak to victory.

    Kentucky beat a 2 seed today. Very tough game, from a very tough opponent. How is the ACC doing? Oh, wait......nevermind. Big 10-11 seems to have it going on.

    Marshall is a great coach , but they were/are not a 2 seed. I would not be surprised to see Marshall take the Indiana job.

    I think coach Marshall's Wife pretty much made it a whole lot tougher for him to get the Indy job.
