    I believe Syracuse has played three teams that came into the game averaging more than 80 points per game -- and held all three to less than 60.

    Here's the wild thing: All these upsets yet this is only th 4th year in which none of the 12 seeds won.

    Here's a question: Has any city/metro area celebrated a Super Bowl win and an NCAA championship in hoops in the same calendar year?

    It's Duke. Why is that? Because God hates me. Between the Vikings crapping out the way they did and UVA getting to the top of the sport before crashing out, I know that sports is just a way for God to torture me. That means Duke is the only possible winner left.

    Not to be the announcer apologist, but he was right. Sometimes guys chuck and it goes in, but doesn't mean it was a smart shot. That shot wasn't a bad one, but they
    were struggling to hit 10-12 ft jumpers.

    Didn't watch any of the UVA game but it was difficult to see how UMBC put up over 50 in one half vs UVA. I read here about UVA not being able to score, but the problem
    was not stopping UMBC. They shot 50% on 3-pointers vs UVA, They didn't average 40 % for the season. Both UMBC and KSU played pretty sloppily at times.

    It’s amazing how infrequently non-blue bloods win this thing. Last one may have beenFlorida’s first title.

    They have to move the 3-point line back. So many of these games are just teams trading 3-point attempts for two hours.

    I watched most of the Clemson-Auburn game.

    Clemson was impressive.

    Was funny when Barkley conceded at halftime.
