What a shot though - that was incredible!
Both these games are just crazy.

Greg Gard just got himself the Wisconson coaching position permanently.

...Wisconsin goes to the finals last year, loses all their seniors and their coach this year, and then make the sweet 16 by beating the #2 seed. But I thought only teams with senior leaders can do well in the tournament.

Shhh... St. Beilein is the most brilliant coach on the Earth. Don't question his fuck ups or you're a hater.

When the nuts come out and start calling you out and putting you down. Don't worry, there are people on here who support you.

A support group for instant gratification ADHD kiddies? Doesn't surprise me.
March 20th, 2016 at 11:28 PM ^
Instant gratification? It's Beilein's 9th year and the team can't even do basic shit like boxing out.
Please.

We have Ethan Happ. His name is Moritz Wagner, but Basketball Jesus thinks that Donnal is better for some reason.
March 20th, 2016 at 11:05 PM ^
March 20th, 2016 at 11:11 PM ^
True, I actually see a lot of similarity between the two, but Happ is very disciplined unlike Mo and had the benefit of a redshirt.

How you can say "Beilein is always 1 big man away from being a contender". We lost by 3 in the elite eight 2 years ago, and were in the championship game 3 years ago. Isn't that being a "contender"?
I can understand people's frustration with the team this year (and last), but wow, people have short memories.

I don't disagree that having more talented bigs would help us. My point is simply that 2 of Beilein's recent teams made strong runs, the first with a very good big, and the second without.
We damn near beat that very strong, absolutely huge Kentucky team. Even their guards were oversized (Harrison twins). That was a terrific basketball game.

you'll have to quit bitchin about the lack of elite recruiting classes.

Can't believe Northern Iowa is going to choke the game away like this. Impressive.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:55 PM ^
NIU took it to 2 OT. They must have been devastated after choking away that lead in regulation.
That House kid suddenly became unstoppable.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:58 PM ^
I blame the coach. Dude lost his composure coaching wise in the last 30 seconds. Giving up a double digit lead like that?!??
Wow... talk about shrinking in the moment.

So if Michigan didn't piss away the ND game they would have had SFA and Wisconsin to get to the elite 8. That's depressing.
March 20th, 2016 at 11:03 PM ^
March 20th, 2016 at 11:42 PM ^
Sure would have been nice to see what could have been. We were leading at the Kohl at halftime and that was when Wisconsin was peaking.
March 20th, 2016 at 11:00 PM ^
If Oregon loses to St. Joes, all the Pac12 teams will be eliminated.
Talk about bad conference perception.
Pac12 has sucked in the past few years. Didn't their conference winner not get into the dance a couple years ago? I think it was Washington?
Weak conference.

is this the best tourney ever? Obviously not from a personal rooting interest as we were bounced early, but overall...
Half court buzzer beater for UNI, Wisconsin buzzer beater, Texas AM 14-2 run in final 45 seconds, MSU losing in perhaps the biggest upset in tourney history (this one we actually enjoyed on a fan level). So far this tourney has delivered. Just need a cinderella to get to the elite 8 / final 4 and this year has it all.

I've felt there has been quite a bit of time with no good games on. Most of the excitement has happened in the night sessions. The MSU loss wasn't even compelling, although obviously enjoyable for Michigan fans. If Buddy keeps it up though and pulls a Kemba that will be fun to watch along with a potential Gonzaga run.
March 20th, 2016 at 11:52 PM ^
Wow, there have been a ton of upsets, and a bunch of nail-biters. Over the weekend they schedule more games in the evening, so by sheer numbers there will be more exciting games.
I agree with those who've said the tournament's been exciting so far this year.
March 20th, 2016 at 11:08 PM ^
Jesus fist fucking tap dancing christ....UNI. I'm ill.
