This is not the regular season, this is the Big Dance, where you win or go home. The scoreboard is the ultimate measure of which was the "better team" on that particular day.

Say what you will, ACC fans - but the fact that not one but TWO lesser-seeded Big East teams beat TWO better-seeded ACC teams pretty much speaks for itself.

The Big East is underrated this year, and/or the ACC is overrated this year.
If you wish, you can qualify that as "the Big East is performing better in the NCAA Tournament this year than the ACC". You may not like to hear it, nor want to agree with it, but the evidence is quite clear.

Another OVERTIME game!

I'm torn on this one. The conference homer in me likes Marquette, but I have Stanford making the Final 4 in my Nova Madness bracket.

What a shot by the short-haired twin to end that one!

I'm really starting to get kind of sick of the Turf Builder commercial. And the Dude thing, that has to be the stupidest ad campaign ever conceived.

Pitt MSU right now, those guys are really going at it. I'm getting exhausted just watching.

Yeah, Pitt was a hit for me, too.

But - not as much as a Stanford or UCLA loss would have been.

Phew.. My team scared me for a second. I'm glad Miami decided not to make a run earlier in the game.

Sorry, Butler - you're not going to upset TN if you're missing layups like that in the last 1:23

LOL - I am actually still leading our group bracket, but the bottom just fell out of my Possible Pts.

Damn it. I thought about making Davidson my cinderalla team because they played UNC and Dook so tight earlier this season. Stephen Curry is amazing. His dad, Dell, was the Hornets sharp-shooter for years.

Yeah, Curry. 40 points the other day and pulled off some serious "WTF?" shots today.

Yeah, 'only' had 30 pts for the day, but 25 of those were in the second half.

Looks like both NC and U of L missed the memo about giving us excitingly close games....

Honestly - UNC looks like the best team to have a real shot of knocking my Cards out of the dance.

Too bad they are in the same bracket. I'd love to see them both in the FF.
