Yeah, Louisville suffered a tough loss and messed me up a bit, but tonight was a really good night for basketball. A lot of fun games to watch on tonight.

Same here - I had Louisville making it to play Memphis, but oh well. Every game yesterday was great to watch! Even games that looked over at certain points ended up being very interesting at the end.

Yesterday was basically insane. What a great day of basketball!

I had a pretty good bracket day, too. I'm a little more worried about today, though. Should be an interesting day.

I'm not saying that the Refs cost Louisville the game, but was anyone else disgusted by all the fouls they called?

The refs called 51 fouls in the game, which is twelve more than in any other NCAA tourny game on Saturday (and 20 more than in most of the other games).

Texas A&M shot 39 free throws. Louisville shot 31 free throws.

Looks like I'm in trouble... I've got Winthrop winning today and in the next round, but they're down big.

I've lost 2 Sweet 16 teams already today, with another on the way (Va. Tech) it appears.

I feel you. One of my final four is gone if Texas doesn't wake the hell up.

Apparently I was the only one who picked USC - that helped me out quite a bit.

Yeah, now I'm screwed. I've lost 5 out of my Sweet 16 and one out of my Final Four. Ouch.

Oh well, now that I know I can't win, I can just enjoy the games.

Well they ended up not waking up and my bracket is therefor busted. I had Texas winning it all...

My only two left for the Final Four are Florida and Kansas.

I like MCQ & kieran kelly(1)'s brackets. kieran kelly(1) has UCLA winning, MCQ has Florida, no one team has really blown me away both games.

My only chance to win is if SIU or Oregon wins it all, and frankly after watching most of the games in the last two days they seem as good as anyone. I really like Oregon, they've been fun to watch, good fan support, besides, how can you not like a team called the Ducks?

I like your thinking.

Yeah, Texas screwed me up a little bit, but I still have a good shot. I have a good amount of teams left

The first bracket I did for real, and the second one was loaded with upsets. The upset bracket was actually doing better in the beginning, but it's still hanging around.

It's funny. My "for real" bracket is the one that has tanked the hardest, whereas my upset laden one has the most upside. I may be down for now, but I can still come back with A&M.

It's also insane that I consistently came out on the losing end of all those close and overtime games. I'm friggin cursed.

None of this matters because when the Heels win it all, so will I! Go Heels!

Now that Psycho T's taken off his mask, we're going to be unstoppable!

Yeah, taking that mask off him released his inner beast. The kid was unstoppable yesterday.

It gets back on tonight. Sweet Sixteen time.

Hopefully I can stay in it and UCLA keeps winning.

A&M was robbed of at least .5 seconds. But they missed some chip shots so they sorta deserved to lose.

They weren't robbed of any time, the commentators were just blind. The replay showed that the ball bounced in-bounds before going out, and I'm pretty sure that's what the refs saw. For whatever reason, none of the commentators mentioned that possibility until after the game ended.

From what I saw, they still took too much time off the clock. Like I said, A&M threw the game away late anyway, so the outcome was pretty much sealed.

And this OSU/Tenn game is interesting. OSU is a better team without Oden. They're just freer or something. I wonder if Matta realizes that.

I noticed that. I think that's how they were able to win against Xavier. It was after Oden fouled out that they were able to tie up and then overpower during OT.

If Ohio State loses, my bracket will be totally busted, as I had them against Nova for the championship.

But... Bracket aside, I was for Xavier. So I'm pissed at OSU now, and hope they lose.

Damnit!

So, someone answer this: why was Oden allowed to continue playing with blood on his jersey? I thought it was a rule that they had to come out. Right?

Go Heels!

I dunno, all I have to say is the KU/SIU game last night was one of the best I've seen in awhile.
