That ref should be fired.
My bracket....
Is fucked.
But, wow - every year you almost forget how bat shit insane this is.
I would have bet money (if I was a betting man) that Arizona would beat Buffalo 99/100 times.
I actually picked Buffalo in my bracket. Arizona just seems overrated most of the time.
are a joke in this msu game. trying for make up calls after a horrible technical foul call.
and the msu class is coming through.
for calling like he sees it. Ridiculous.
Like if the thing that got Bucknell's best player fouled out is a technical, then Izzo shouldn't make it to the first media timeout in any game. Fucking infuriating. Probably doesn't matter, because Bucknell was destroyed by MSU's defense in this half, but come the fuck on.
Winston was just way more demonstrative and got nothing.
Decency -1 (Purdue lost Haas)
The epitome of life ain't fair today.
When they run into a well coached team with power conference talent, they're done. Not even elite talent. Mentally weak, poor rotations, poorly coached.
As usual, Ant Wright sums it up:

are still on the floor.
watching the xavier vs. texas southern game and the media guy behind the texas southern coach may have the worst toupee i've ever seen. looks like felt. you can see stiching. normally i wouldn't comment but just wow.
MSU is anti-Purdue. A conference rival I loathe on every level and sucks to watch.
syracuse zone could give sparty fits, since they are a mediocre passing team led by mediocre passing and ball handling guards.
syracuse problem will be the scoring of the basketball though.

with a super easy pod in Detroit anyway. Their tourney starts with Duke.
And Sparty limps to another single-digit win.
Do any of the people who pick them to win it all actually watch them play?
if bucknell's center would have done anything on either end of the court, this game could have gone down to the wire.
sparty ain't good. either tcu or syracuse will knock them out.
Bucknell unloads in their press conference
