Regarding Holt.  Wasn't it HMP's beer and he just took the fall (still not sure why he'd do that though).  At least, that's what I thought the rumor was at the time of the incident.  

One thing I still don't understand is, why in the world was Yogi in-bounding the ball?  I mean, our All American, 80%+, Senior PG is in-bounding the ball to lesser FT shooters (under 70%).  That's why Kentucky got back in the game, we made  like 2-4 or 3-6 free throws to let them back in.  Granted TB ended up being clutch.  But could you imagine if he had missed one of those and Kentucky tied the game and won in OT?  This place would have been lost it.  

Refs saving Oregon

You had that?  

I need to watch a replay.  At the time, looked like Wiscy was pre-emptively falling down.  Just used to bogus calls with Wisconsin.  They know how to work the refs.  

Agreed, no excuses.  Terrible to blow that type of lead with very little time left.  They should have won regardless.  Doesn't change the fact that losing their senior center, who was their main inbounder, helped contribute to that comeback by A&M. 

Feel terrible for UNI.  Probably the better team.  That one center doesn't get his knee injured, they probably win.  But man...crazy ending

How in the world did Wiscy beat Xavier???  That charging foul was bogus though.  I know it doesn't come down to that, but it was a BS call.  

My goodness...

Wow, not sure about that call...

CLUTCH

Man, UNI just making stupid decisions.  Shot that ball with four seconds left!

Wow, did not expect either of these games to be so close.  Guess, I'm not waking up at 5 AM tomorrow to work out...

My goodness UNI

And I've never seen so much carrying of the ball.  This is crazy, you'd think palming would be called at least once in this game.  

Hield carrying OU at the moment. 

Oh, I was talking about SFA's offensive possessions.  They played one on one three straight possessions after having had great success with constant ball movement.     Regarding the foul, I'm guessing they called body contact, but who knows...the refs were all over the place this game.  

SFA blew that game.  Three really bad offensive possessions to close out the game.  

I'm guessing this has been posted at some point, somewhere in this thread, but doesn't it seem like there's A LOT of slipping and falling down in this tournament?  It's as if the finish on the floor is just slicker than normal.  Usually seems to happen outside of the paint and inside the 3pt line.  

Not sure if Nova is amazingly good, or if Iowa just gave up on the season. I mean, on defense, Iowa has been terrible

Juwans shoulder...

Why take so long to get max in???

Get troy out of this game

I know I'm late to the party, but I think Crean was/is hoping to utilize Troy in a fashion similar to how Oladipo played against Kentucky...which, needless to say, is not a good idea.

I'm impressed with Xavier. A really well coached team.
