Geez - what a finish! Didn't think TCU would have that much trouble with ASU but they still got the W. 5 out of 7 in the round of 32 for the B12. Not bad.

This TCU-ASU game has been the most entertaining game of the tourney for me. Just crazy shot making on both ends.
There have been a bunch of good ones.

The FAU-Memphis game was great, too.

Arizona State had two great shooting nights in the tournament. They played high-level offense in both of their games.

I hate how repetitive all the commercials get in the tournament broadcasts, but BWW playing "Ante Up" in their ads will never get old. That's one of the best rap songs/intros/choruses of all time.

What I saw of it was entertaining but so was the FDU win over Purdue, the first half of Gonzaga v Grand Canyon, & the second half of our game. I probably should have changed channels earlier since the K State game was not as close. I didn't see enough of the Creighton v NC State game.

March Madness is lots of fun!!

No bad options. Best 4 days of the sporting calendar year. But, I will say, your team making the second weekend is even better. Let's hope we take care of business on Sunday.

Had TCU in the S16 in my bracket. Think their athleticism will cause the Zags all sorts of issues

I do hope TCU takes down Gonzaga, even though TCU hates us.

Amazing how this tournament never disappoints. There were very few games throughout the entire first round that weren't truly entertaining for at least a half or more. Even the aggys blowout loss was fun - because it's always entertaining to watch them get drilled!

WHO did #1 Purdue lose to? Harley-Davidson University?? You've got to be kidding.

That's the one thing I fear about being a #1 seed - you face a scrappy team who's got nothing to lose. The fear of losing is only yours. Like Art Briles used to say, I'd much rather fight a man who lives in a mansion than a guy who lives out of his van.

Thankfully, we passed that test 3 years in a row. I know we aren't a #1 seed this year but close enough. We beat the scrappy double digit seed & handily. Not only that, but several players were great in the second half.

And then there is Caleb Lohner. 'Nuf said!

You've just got to put those teams away early. The longer you let them hang around, the more likely you are to get upset because the entire arena is rooting against you by the end.
