Wisconsin clearing the path for Duke, just like in 2015.

Well good, had them losing in the EE anyway. Probably moved up by everyone going down for having their champs go down so early

 

[mike012]

Villanova back to its old ways

 

[Durks07]

Boy, bad things keep happening to Nova in Buffalo.

 

[Zionn]

We hardly
Knew ya 'Nova

Why did Wright call his last TO after the first make. Your only chance of winning is if he misses the 2nd...so why not save the TO to avoid exactly what happened?

 

[Travelman6]

Nova returns to being Nova.

Very tough draw getting wisconsin though, they are better than there seed and very experienced.

 

[lavuuk153]

Nova could've called their TO with like 2.8 seconds left and set up a play...that was some Bob Diaco time out management there.

Hayes vs Tatum could be a very interesting match-up

 

[Jaker]

Tough loss, nova's draw was brutal.

Agreed. Wisconsin has three really good players in Hayes, Happ and Koenig.

Hart was clearly fouled, college refs are terrible.

Life is good ND, Villanova, & Syracuse lose in a span of six hours.

Exactly what I was thinking. Was Burrell on a timeout?

I have nothing against ND. J. Wright seems like a decent guy too. But cuse losing is always funny and now we can hope duke goes down and hopefully msu gets stomped in the second round.

Bad things happen (more often than not) to non-P5 teams vs P5 teams.

Duke is cheering- an easier path to the Final Four now. If you think the calls went against Wisconsin this game, just wait...a matchup with Duke will make the 2015 final look like the "fairest" of them all...

That's elite Koaching.

God NC State has pulled a few second round upsets too, eh? I did not realize they beat 1 seeded Nova as an 8...They also took out 2nd seeded Uconn as a 10 in the early 2000s (ugh). As much credit as Nova gets for being choke artists with high seeds, I do not want to see a 7/8/9/10 seeded NC State if my team is seeded 1 or 2.

Still tip my hat to Nova. They had an excellent team and played well all year long. NCAA tourney can be tough. Just goes to show what an accomplishment the 2011 and 2014 'ships where.

We will look back on those even more in the future as insane, unbelievable runs. We're extremely fortunate to have seen that period of UConn basketball.

D'oh, Nwestern as an 8 was my 7-10 seeded sweet 16 pick, but wisconsin as an 8 has probably made the upset gods happy for now.
