Going to be very interested to see how much criticism Bennett takes. The man gets nothing but universal accolades, and I'm not suggesting he's not really good.  But his tournament record isn't significantly better than FCTC's. Now cap it off with the worst tourney loss in the history of the game. 

I, for one, would very much like for him to keep his job and not come home to Wisconsin.

So glad the upset finally happened, and it felt awesome to watch it, but....

I just wish it could have happened to a different team like Duke, UNC, UK, etc.  UVA seems like they have good kids, 4 year players unlike those aforementioned schools.  We were watching it at my house and just felt bad for Virginia.  

I'm just glad it didn't happen to us

IU plays the same defense as Older Miller and Bennett.   As I said last night, I hope Archie is watching.

I loved the upset. Just wish it wasn’t in Kentucky’s bracket where the highest seed they have to beat to get to an elite 8 is a 9 seed but luckily anyone can’t beat anyone as seen tonight. Go Buffalo & UMBC!

Yeah. I know I shouldn't say things like this, but what are the odds UK plays a low/mid-major 4 times before going to a final 4?

I was stoked to see UK get the region of hell. Then I realized:

-The PAC-12 sucks, and so does Arizona.
-UVA was losing more than people thought when hunter went down.
-They just beat Tennessee anyway and are balanced enough to beat them or Cincinnati.

In regards to UVA, a team that scores less than 70/game lost their 4th leading scorer. I immediately worried they wouldn't have someone capable of stepping up. Figured if another team got hot, UVA would fall into a hole they couldn't get out of, despite their usually monster defense. Expected it to be a team like Kentucky or maaaaybe KSU/Creighton. Instead it was a freaking 16 seed, Lmao.

Now Kentucky gets Buffalo. If Buffalo shoots like they did last night, they can beat anyone (a la ISU and FW, dammit). Kentucky did just score 78 points and win a game without hitting a 3, tho. Should be a more interesting UK-SUNYB matchup than anticipated, but I think the puttycats pull it out. Hope I'm wrong.

For UMBC, daaayyyuuum. One of the biggest upsets ever. Ironically, Chaminade's historic upset over UVA may be the only one bigger, and that's hard to say because 16s were 0-135. No history to go by, but that team should be amped when the game vs K-State comes Sunday! Not gonna count them out, and crap, Kentucky could get to play a freaking 16 in the sweet 16. My gosh.

After that, I know they have a long road, and may have already exhausted their luck, but Loyola-Chicago is a balanced team. The idea makes me cringe, but it would seem like the perfect fix for PayPal Cal and the Blue Ballers to get 12, 13, 16, 11 on the road to the final 4 when people thought they had the toughest region possible.

Wow just saw Virginia lost. Can not believe I missed the first 16 seed winning. 
I only had them winning one game. He seems to always to great in season but in the tourney his offense is just not constructed for a comeback. If they get down they are dead. He seems like a great guy I just don't think he will ever get it done in the ncaa.

True but our offense is faster and can come back from being down. The blocker mover offense makes it almost impossible to come back from double digits. It moves to slow.
