Well phew, what a game for the Gators. Let's lose an 18 point lead, just to make it exciting...
Quoted from Chisox:Man these kids from Wofford can shoot.
They're going to need that asset what with Kentucky up next.
UC Irvine (70) beats Kansas State (64)
Go Anteaters ZOT!!!
Virginia is losing by 6 pts at halftime to a 16 seed,
so UCI's path to elite 8 is easier, if that holds.

BIG if
Enjoy the victory my friend.
Is it true this is UCI' s first tournament victory?
Quoted from rollitover:They're going to need that asset what with Kentucky up next.
I have a financial interest in KY and this game makes me nervous. Wofford reminds me of Loyola of last year but with better shooters.

That was an impressive win, congrats. Kansas St. is no joke.
Quoted from dasvis:Sorry Tom, but the Ducks will kick UCI ass
We will see.
While I am now a resident of Oregon,
I have got to have faith in my alma mater.
This being UCIs 2nd invite to the big dance (they gave Louisville a scare 2 yrs ago)
and tonite was their 1st win ever in the NCAA tourney,
I will savor the moment for now.
Wishful thinking that UVA would not be able to come back in 2nd half over a 16 seed,
but look what happened last year. It just shows me that Virginia is not invincible.
I think UVA got the monkey off their back with 5:00 left in the first half and will roll the next two teams in their way to the elite eight.
How are you guys doing in your brackets?
I didn't pick any low seeds making it deep into Elite 8.
Go Purdue! Go LSU!
Anteaters were looking so good those 1st 8 min of 2nd half, to retake the lead
but then Oregon finally wakes up.
12 seed Oregon is the only surprise if they hang on and win. Auburn should have been the 4 seed instead of Kansas as they had just had a great run of form/games.
Essentially the final sixteen is all 1 through 4 seeds except one 12 seed Oregon. I don’t ever remember the seeds holding form like this before.

Congrats
but you got to admit
you had to be nervous there for a while.
Too many turnovers for UCIrvine

Good game!
Yeah, I was sweating it out a bit there. Thank goodness for Kenny Wooten, he saved the day.
Don't think the Ducks will make it past Virginia, but who knows?

I just read that in 2009 the same exact seeds made it to the sweet sixteen. region seeds: 1234, 1234, 1235, 123 12
Quoted from Silverballer:I don't really care who wins as long as KU loses.
Always rooting against Duke. The ending to yesterday's game was agonizing.

No kidding, I have Duke losing to VT... we can always hope

Cinderella
is virtually dead in this year's tournament...
no... wait...
What's this!? A single #12 is left alive to carry on!
This year's last remaining possible Cinderella wears green and yellow:
GO DUCKS!
I filled out my very first bracket for work. I've got Duke, Gozanga, Purdue, and Auburn in the final four with Duke beating Auburn in the final.
I also picked all odd numbered seeds.

Actually, it's green & yellow.... GO DUCKS!
Quoted from dasvis:Actually, it's green & yellow.... GO DUCKS!
Yep, I was gonna change it too.
My South division is a bust. Had K-State going all the way to the National Semi's.
Have Gonzaga in the final beating out UNC. Go Zags!

Go Ducks! (well, actually I have Virginia but would rather see Oregon win)
Also Virginia tech, Michigan state, Gonzaga, Tennessee, North Carolina & Kentucky...… Keep my bracket alive.
Quoted from dasvis:Go Ducks! (well, actually I have Virginia but would rather see Oregon win)
Yep, I'm pulling for Purdue and LSU, but in most of my brackets I don't have them making it to the finals.
Gonzaga survived even though they looked like shit, so that’s good for me. Prudue/Tennessee was very entertaining. Hoping I can make it until the end of the UVA game, it’s pretty late and the whiskey has been flowing.
Quoted from Erik:I like Zion to go on to an Anthony Mason type career
Anthony Mason was a nice tough guy for the Knicks with decent ability. Zion is on another level.
At the very least, he’s an 18/10 guy in the Pros.
Will the horseshoe ever fall out of Duke’s ass? Two games in a row with guys missing point blank shots`? Wtf?
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:I filled out my very first bracket for work. I've got Duke, Gozanga, Purdue, and Auburn in the final four with Duke beating Auburn in the final.

Yay! My final 4 are still in.
Go odd numbered seeds!
Quoted from pinwiztom:Looks like I am all in on Gonzaga now.
Oregon played too sloppy to move on.
Agree, Oregon went stone cold the last 5-min of the game.
My bracket has Gonzaga going all the way.
Quoted from dasvis:Agree, Oregon went stone cold the last 5-min of the game.

On the Women's side Oregon is still alive!!
They beat my lady JackRabbits from So.Dakota State.
