    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.
    Stay home Ron. You're drunk.  
    Just relating what the CBS announcers said. I could not tell you a 2 seed from a 15 seed.
    But, the mighty ACC looks very average to this drunk.

    The ACC has had an awful tournament so far, no doubt.

    @saluki2007 -  Lots of local talk about the IU job.  Only been here for 18+ years but in my opinion the downsides are way larger than the upsides.  Marshall may want to make the move to the Big -10 but he will not nearly enjoy the atmosphere or the ease of celebratory status he has now.  IU is cut-throat.
    The real failure there is the AD but the hires are not his fault...hello! 
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    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. 
    They were way under seeded.  3 would've been reasonable.

    Not sure why they do this. It happens often. First half bang it inside and up a good amount.  Second half, settle for jump shots, which is NOT their game.

    They did dodge a bullet.  That was Arkansas at their best.

    Man that was rough. I dont like to blame refs but there were a couple bad calls at the end that took away any shot we had.

    Normally during the tournament you are going to play a game where you aren't your best. Great teams find a way to win- let's hope they can keep it moving forward.

    Two missed FTs didn't help either from their end.  If those would have fell and that charge would have been called a charge, different outcome.

    Tough game- team really played well from the last part of first half on. Haven't watched you all play this season but solid game.  Loved the D. 

    On the brighter side your bracket stayed true.

    Those are the breaks.  Hats off to SC - they played hard and deserved to win.

    SEC has 3 in the 16. Big 10-11 has 3. Pac 12 has 3. Who else has teams in? The mid majors?

    The NCAA had its worst performance in recent years, not only in selecting teams for the tournament, but in seeding them as well.

    Man it was tough for me to watch my Villanova team lose on Saturday.  The Duke loss last night was a shocker as well. 
    That's why they call it March Madness though!  These teams all come out swinging with more motivation and energy than they've had all season.  Pro ball is nothing like these college guys.  Good games, tough losses, but some amazing wins as well.
