I'll make it.

Queen told his coach "give me the mother f*cking ball."

Are they going to run the picket fence?

Guess they got caught watching the paint dry.

(And in all seriousness, condolences to the Colorado State fans on the board. Looked like the Rams' best team since the last couple of teams Tim Miles had before he was moneywhipped away to Lincoln.)

Queen told his coach "give me the mother f*cking ball."

No drama ... no "you see, I drew up this play on the clipboard ... "

Just "gimme the @#$#$# ball."

And given what Kevin Willard has been offering the media lately, is anyone really surprised?

They can conduct unlimited BS reviews to put 0.2 seconds back on the clock or confirm who obviously touched the ball last, yet they can't review a play like that.

Just get rid of review.

Maryland traveled 2,727 miles to play in this regional.
Or, about 300 miles less than Queen traveled on that final shot.

That's what I was wondering. heck of a clutch shot, but how many steps do you get to take?

I yelled "He walked." Then I rewound it and it looked like border line travel. But he gathered, take two big strides. In the modern game, I think they give you two steps.

Gathered, took a step after pulling it in, took two more, then released.

3 steps after the ball last touched the floor.

It was definitely three steps. I've seen a lot of shots this weekend that had me thinking the same thing, though, so who the heck knows?

You take three steps getting around a screen, and they'll likely call it.

But all rules are out the window when driving to the basket.

Is it a stretch to say that Ole Miss has looked like the best SEC team in this tournament so far?
Had the meltdown against North Carolina but hung on, and they are just taking Iowa State to the woodshed.
