only good teams can go into kansas and win by 16, you might have been able to do that if you had baba on your team.

Absolute bogus call led to the win. Called a push-off on a flop when he was dislodging a guy draped all over him.

Was a really well staged flop. I actually think the offensive player pushed too hard. As long as the defender isn't fouling him, he can drape all he wants. It looked pretty legit - he didn't have to shove to break off him.

Even in a meh season, there is not team I love see losing more than UK.

I'm impartial here but you said you wished someone else would set up a BY meetup just so you could punch this guy in the face. In his defense, his response was his best post ever as he very calmly called your bluff and offered to meet you any time. I haven't seen you respond so unless you PM'd him to take him up on his offer, maybe lay off the constant bashing of all his posts. You can't keyboard karate, punk out, AND go on bitching.

Oh I will definitely meet him ANY TIME ANY PLACE

It really was a bogus call. They wouldn't have dared call that if the game was in Lexington.

The drape is the foul lol. You can't have 2 hands on a guy like that, freedom of movement. Of course he had to shove to break off him, the guy had his arm curled around his back.

You can be draped all over the guy but as long as you aren’t fouling it’s ok??

That is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard

Same - not must see TV. Josh Jefferson is a nice do everything player, and their big 3 can shoot, but collectively not a very exciting team.

They've been pretty lousy on the road in B12 play, I could see them losing. Crushed by Kansas, lost at Cinci, at TCU.

Like you said in one of your posts, Joshua Jefferson is the former St. Mary's player UConn should have gotten. Having said that I am watching Aidan Mahaney on ESPNU and he looks like when he played at St. Mary's. He is the leading scorer so far in this game and he is very vocal. It's UCSB vs Hawaii.

I didn't see the arms wrapped around him.

Mahaney is a fine player when he's not going up against good athletes. He's actually having a nice year for UCSB, shooting 40% from 3.

Ok so 1 seed in the South is the goal. Ideally without Houston as the 2/3. I think that means we need ISU or KU to get the 2 seed since they’re also in the Big12 and Houston would have to go elsewhere.

So we want ISU to lose to BYU and KU to beat Houston next week, and for Houston ti keep losing.

Honestly the Iowa State 1 seed, UConn 2 seed in the South draw was pretty sweet.

That is unlikely to happen if it's UConn 1 seed, unless Iowa State finishes ahead of Houston on the 2-line but behind someone like Purdue or Illinois.

Why can’t it look like this:

East
1 Duke
8 Purdue

Midwest
2 Michigan
7 Houston

West
3 Zona
6 Illinois

South
4 UConn
5 ISU

ISU is about 500 miles closer to Chicago, so would be placed in Midwest as the top 2 seed if Michigan isn't the #1 overall.

If I were ISU I’d rather play the #4 overall than the #2 overall who would have homecourt. Plus Iowa is closer to Houston than we are. Why would it matter if Michigan is 1 overall versus 2 overall?
 
Hopefully AJD has something left down the stretch of this game, gonna have to backpack and not get to sit

They don't get a choice, it's just a procedure thing. Only the #1 overall gets to pick their pod/region. Less travel is generally better for teams, and the NCAA sells a lot more tickets by minimizing travel distance overall.
 
UCSB and Hawaii in a good game. There's a good loud crowd. I guess everyone got their surfing and beach fun in before the game.

Call me crazy but I see an all chalk final four here with two rematches, Zona vs UConn, Duke vs Michigan.
 
Santa Barbara 66 vs Hawaii 66 . Sb has ball with 39 seconds left.

Later Edit: UCSB 68 Hawaii 66 on UCSB on offensive rebound put back but there's 8 seconds left with Hawaii timeout.

Later Edit: Hawaii ties game with put back and Aidan misses half court shot that just barely misses at the buzzer. Game is going into OT.

I tried to lay it out strictly according to potential S curve but we’d be on dukes side of the bracket
 
Mahaney nearly made a halfcourt buzzer beater to win it, tied going to OT
