Good win by Arky, Texas Tech kept fighting back but couldn't get over the hump.  My biggest fear with Beard

Two fouls on two layups not called,  refs screwed texas tech

Arkansas isn’t letting him leave guys. 

[IU Scott 2,375]

Two missed layups by TT in the last minute killed them.  Also why wait so long to foul after the first missed shot.

An 80% free throw shooter missing the front end of a one and one and two blown layups are not on the coach.

Definitely enough contact to be called a foul.  I didn't watch enough of the game to see if it was called that way throughout.  My guess is it was mostly a physical game.

I feel bad for Smith. If he would have stayed with Archie in March he would have had more time to keep up on his studies, rest and maybe go on spring break.

Agree. And Beard didn’t complain about either one. Crazy. Both fouls called 95% of the time.

I'd like to say I'm happy for Justin Smith, but honestly I'm not.  By all accounts he was a pain in the @$$ when he was at IU.

Am happy for Damezi even if he can't get on the court at Loyala.  He did everything he could to get better at IU, just wasn't as good as advertised.

If the TT player was wearing a Duke jersey there is a 110% chance a foul would have been called on Smith. He bodied the guy big-time.

How do we know it was actually Smith was a problem

Insiders. Read into that what you want.

Body language and hustle was terrible as well. This can be said for many IU players as well.

Thankfully, WV have made this a game at halftime. So sick of Syracuse backing into the tourney every year and then every team discombobulating when they see a 2-3 zone.

I will say that Buddy Boeheim didn't take the Patrick Knight road to place on his dad's team.  Dude can play.

I don't have numbers, but seems like more upsets than normal.  Likely due to the strange year....if nothing else, seeding was harder this year due to less sample size.

If the TT player was wearing a Duke jersey, they would have been running the clock down on the last possession because they refs had already made sure they were up 8.

UNLV expected to promote Kevin Kruger to head coach.  He's been an assistant at UNLV the past 2 seasons and is the son of Lon Kruger.

Rutgers out here saving the B1G today 

for now 

Rutgers up 9 with 6 min to go

It wasn't Archie telling TJD '**** you' on the court....it wasn't Archie's dad posting drama online.....it wasn't Archie, by all accounts, that was the locker room cancer.  Archie may have done a shitty job of controlling the culture, but guys like Justin Smith and DeVonte Green certainly did their part of destroying it.  Archie couldn't coach at this level, we found that out....but you can't say Smith wasn't given his opportunities here.  I'm glad for his sake he seemed to have turned it around, but it's easy to be a good team mate when things are going well.
