Whre would Pitt be without Sam Young??? What a half he's having.

Where's Pitt's defense? There are games where they allow in the 50's. Already 49 for OK St. and we still arent at the half yet.

[roblyo33]

OKS is shooting the lights out. 63% from the field and 63% from 3pt land. I seriously doubt they can keep that up. Pitt is shooting 59%. Unbelievable!!!

[YanksFan1992]

OSU is down 1 with 3:48 to go.

[YanksFan1992]

HUGE 3 for Pitt.

[YanksFan1992]

Wow that was close.

[YanksFan1992]

That OSU player just got pushed down and the refs didn't call it.

[dabomb2045]

Looks like Pitt will survive

[YanksFan1992]

Pitt, Kansas, Arizona and Xavier have all advanced to the Sweet 16.

If neither Siena or USC win it will be one of the more rarer times when all four 1's and all four 2's advance.

[26 and counting]

Is anybody disappointed that there's been hardly any upsets?

On the other hand, because the big schools are all still alive, the quality of play should be of a higher standard next weekend.

Less upsets the first weekend usually equals closer, more intense games during the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight.

Bingo. Just look at the matchups in the Sweet 16. Villanova-Duke. UNC-Gonzaga. Syracuse-Oklahoma. Thats three great games right there. UConn-Purdue I think is a very intriguing matchup too.

[jlw1980]

I will stick by my guns and say no Pac-10 team is getting into the Sweet 16

Hahahahaha! WRONG!

[dabomb2045]

Go Siena!! they've come back down 13 to take the lead midway thru the 2nd half

[YanksFan1992]

Siena is leading Louisville...

[NYYDragoon]

Siena is leading Louisville...

If they scored everytime they stole it, they're be MUCH farther ahead.

My dad is getting way too into this .

[YanksFan1992]

****ing referees.

Let the kids play and stop with your egotistical whistling.

[NYYDragoon]

****ing referees.

Let the kids play and stop with your egotistical whistling.

And this is funny because they're all much older than you .

[YanksFan1992]

And this is funny because they're all much older than you .

Much older?

[dabomb2045]

How do you call a touch foul at half court...in a 1 point game w/35 secs left?

[NYYDragoon]

Much older?

Yes James.

At any rate, you calling them "kids" is pretty ironic. You know you watch sports with a lot of old people when...

[YanksFan1992]

What are you doing Siena!?!?

[YanksFan1992]

Refs > NCAA Tournament

[YanksFan1992]

This is the weirdest five minutes in basketball history.

[YanksFan1992]

God, this year's tournament SUCKS.

[NYYDragoon]

Last legs for the Saints. They're putting up one hell of a fight, though.

[YanksFan1992]

Seriously, what is wrong with college and professional basketball? It's such a great sport, but those involved do a damn good job of ruining it.

[dabomb2045]

Last legs for the Saints. They're putting up one hell of a fight, though.

They took the #1 team in the country down to the last minute. They have nothing to be ashamed of.

[NYYDragoon]

Jamie, you gotta use more words.

[NYYDragoon]

They took the #1 team in the country down to the last minute. They have nothing to be ashamed of.

Hence my "they putting up one hell of a fight."

[jlw1980]

God, this year's tournament SUCKS.

I like it...so far. I never expected my team to be in the Sweet 16.

It's comforting to know that Siena could have pulled this off. I'm content.

[26 and counting]

Bingo. Just look at the matchups in the Sweet 16. Villanova-Duke. UNC-Gonzaga. Syracuse-Oklahoma. Thats three great games right there. UConn-Purdue I think is a very intriguing matchup too.

Add Michigan State-Kansas, Memphis-Missouri, Pittsburgh-Xavier, and Louisville-Arizona to that list, and we've got a great Sweet 16.

Speaking of Arizona, their performance ends the argument of St. Mary's possibly being more deserving of an at-large berth.

I dislike basketball in general, but for some reason I like college basketball (as long as my team is playing ). Pro basketball is boring as hell, though.

Because 14 of the 16 #1 through #4 seeds are still alive?

UConn's still in it, so I'm loving this.

I really wish they'd won so my team would be facing them and not Louisville.

[YanksFan1992]

UConn's still in it, so I'm loving this.

I'm still hesitant to believe that the games will be better because there are higher seeds left (although this is ridiculous, but that's how it played out last year).

However, I live for upsets, and there have been almost none, and most importantly, the Huskies lost, so I can't say I've enjoyed the Tournament all that much so far.

P.S: Is that enough words, AJ?

Why do you hate this tournament? Just look at all the great matchups we have awaiting in the Sweet 16

[JDPNYY]

I think this is a great tournament. As soon as Arizona gets dispatched it will be all teams that belong. A lot of close games. Very exciting.

Washington lost, that's why he's not digging this tournament.

Not only that, but the whole Pac-10 is out, except Arizona.

[YanksFan1992]

Pretty much explains it. And even if we had lost, if there was a Cinderella team to follow, I'd feel better, but the only non top five seed left is Arizona, who I can't exactly root for.

[jlw1980]

Hey!

[JDPNYY]

Hey!

Please. They don't belong.

[jlw1980]

Please. I think they've proven otherwise.

[YanksFan1992]

Well, I'll be rooting for them to beat Lousiville, is that good enough?

[jlw1980]

Well, I'll be rooting for them to beat Lousiville, is that good enough?

No. I'd root for Washington if they were the last Pac-10 team left.

The only one I wouldn't root for is ASU.

[JDPNYY]

Please. I think they've proven otherwise.

You have a point. Cleveland State did have a chance to win it all.

[yankeebot]

Well, I'll be rooting for them to beat Lousiville, is that good enough?

Boooooo!

[jlw1980]

You have a point. Cleveland State did have a chance to win it all.

Nice. Real nice.
