Damn I got stuck in a meeting how the F did Furman pull that off?

What JS said. Before that though they went on an 18-4 run at one point in the 2nd half.

I never once said Bennett's job was in jeopardy.  You read a lot of things people don't say. 

You compared the two. I said they're not a good comparison. You get easily irritated at times, and I happen to be one of the people who easily irritates you. I guess at some point it might matter to me, but I doubt it.

I'm so happy that didn't happen to my team...yet.

The Aggies lose. Sad day for Utah farmers.

Basically everyone dies in this competition. The only thing you can hope for is that your team goes down swinging and takes other teams with them first. However Texas gets got won’t be fun to deal with.

A good FT shooter went 1/2 at the line, and then got trapped on an inbounds play and stupidly threw it away to midcourt, where a Furman player intercepted it and they hit the 3.  A lot of unclutchness by UVA had to happen

and that was 9th year senior kihei clark

Just saw that only 4.2% of the 20+million brackets turned in to ESPN remain perfect.

There are some that are easier to stomach than others.

I get that's she's blonde, but repeatedly showing the crying Utah St. cheerleader is kind of cruel.

The tournament format hits me so badly from a fan perspective. March Madness is so fun, but while my team is involved it's full of the colors of the rainbow. Everything is sparkly and shiny. Then when my team loses it's still a great event, but washed in a lot of grays. 

This team has been so fun to watch this year in different ways. It's going to hit me harder than most of them. Maybe it doesn't have to happen this year? I do know how fulfilling that volleyball championship was in December. Men's basketball would be that times a thousand, and I love our volleyball team. 

[Brian Fantana 6689]

Rewatching that UVa turnover, what an incredibly stupid play. He had #11 with no one within 15 feet of him near the 3 point line but he decides to try a hail mary pass to half court. Between that and missing the FT that was the difference in the game....suicide watch.

e: Just noticed that the Furman guy that sank both FTs right before that was a 50% FT shooter on the season.

Well said. The only hear in my 44 years on earth it didn’t so that to me was the final 4 run. This year I think even a loss in the final 4 would leave me pretty crushed. 
maybe this is the year we catch our tail. 
20-1 odds for us to win it all that we got at our sports book (22-1 actually) seems pretty disrespectful. This is a really good team built to win in the tournament. 

[Underdog 28695]

Funny how these Pods work sometimes, Princeton is way the fuck out to Sacramento and St. Mary's in Albany.

except we havent done anything in 80+ years in the tournament.   1 moden day final 4, 2 ancient history final 4.   and we got knocked out in the semis each time.

can we... sure

but the question is will we. 

[Valmy77 13229]

No reason to even think about it unless we make it out of the first weekend.

TIL making the FF is not doing anything 

[Hermanator 7072]

Welp, might as well draw the chalk outline and call the feds for Corpus Aggy

[Hermanator 7072]

We better win it this year. Odds are our AD is going to drive us right back to mediocrity. This university doesn't ever hit on 2 elite coaches back to back

NM. I assume you mean in hoops only.

Howard played them much better than I expected - that's a MASSIVE talent difference and they hung around within 15 or so for a good long while. 

[Wulaw Horn 19076]

Game was tied late in the first half for Ku. Howard gave them their best shot before getting run over. Good for them. 

[UpperWestside 6169]

I know it’s March when a Bennett coached team goes home early. I cannot stand watching that style of play so big ups to Furman. Biggest moment for a paladin since the great LEEROY JENKINS took the world by storm.

That was this one.  Derka did all our big 12 tourney games

[The Ace of Aces 5186]

Fouling on the 3 there deserves immediate execution.  Ouch on replay that’s a pretty awful call.
