Call me crazy or going out on a limb, but I think Maryland has a real chance if refs let them play (physical).

Sidenote, Miles (Brandon Miller buddy, former teammate and owner of murder weapon) and Davis (shooter in tuscaloosa murder) are both from Maryland.

You're crazy. But I would love to see it.

Kansas' Self won't coach game vs. Arkansas

Kansas coach Bill Self will miss Saturday's NCAA tournament game against Arkansas as he continues to recover from a heart procedure last week, the school announced.

The only problem with 1st round upsets is they often lead to 2nd round boring games.

Vanderbilt just beat Michigan in the NIT..for those like myself who enjoy watching them lose

And they lost on a goaltending call that looked questionable to me.

Karma is sweet

It definitely takes a lot of luck in the tournament. You are telling me if we had the path that San Diego State has this year in 2022, we wouldn't make it to S16? Of course, instead of facing the likes of mighty Furman Paladins, we had to face Houston...

 

[chrisRunner7]

I didn't pay any attention to the first game today... seems like a poor decision to air Furman vs San Diego State in a standalone window while cramming together all the better games later in the day. My gut says it's Duke's fault.

Yay!! Commodores!

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

We did got a Slauson cut off mention by Kevin Harlan on commentary during the Furman/San Diego State game. I'd hope some of the posters on here are old enough to get that reference.

Scheyer has done a tremendous job this year......teaching his 5 stars to flop, flop, and flop some more. SMH

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Flopping still continues at Durham.

It was a good call, his right hand was in the net. Unfortunate for Michigan, but still correct. They blew an 8 point lead in the last minute.

I was just watching where it was coming off the glass. Looked like it might be on the way down. I hadn't seen his hand

The announcers said the same thing at first but a different angle showed his other hand in the net.

And they lost on a goaltending call that looked questionable to me.

Karma is sweet

They lost by throwing the ball away 3 times in the last minute.
The goal tending call was legit as Hunter D had a hold of the net. Grabbing the rim and/or net are not allowed when trying to block a shot.

 

[OrangeAndBlueBlooded]

The officials are being fooled into calls by both teams with these flops.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

The Michigan meltdown is just the appetizer on the big 10 misery menu today. The mains will be delicious.

 

[Ryllini]

Duke/TN are both stuck in the mud. If you like defense, tune in.
