What a painful finish for Cincy. Dunk was a quarter second late to tie

 

[CyArob]

The endings of the last two games were amazing. Madness!

 

[cyclonepower]

Cincy had there heart ripped out like 10 times this yr

 

[NorthCyd]

Most double digit seeds to ever make the 2nd round. Nuts!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Just an unreal couple days of college basketball

 

[xboxfever]

This has been one amazing March Madness!

 

[digZ]

Wow what a finish to the day, lots of down to the wire games. Gotta feel for Cincy there, just a fraction of a second quicker and they are still alive.

Crazy, crazy day in March Madness.

March madness has not disappointed!

I’ve followed the tournament pretty intensely for at least the past 25 years, and that was one of the top-3 most insane Fridays and definite top-5 Madness for first 2 days.

Also: UNI must be destroyed.

If I did the math right there were 13 "upsets" seed wise. CRAZY

 

[Final42b]

Hopefully tomorrow is straight forward and not crazy at all

Yup...and the 1 seeds were the only seed to sweep.

In addition to seeding-upsets, the buzzer-beats and late-rallies.

Michigan took the second half off, I thought Verne Lundquist was gonna cry when they lost.

 

[enisthemenace]

What a day.

I had Wichita State, Gonzaga, UNI, Syracuse, Providence & Butler. One person in our pool had Hawaii, one person had Little Rock, and one person had Yale. Nobody picked Middle Tennessee or SF Austin.

Best number of correct picks in our family pool was 24 correct. Worst was 19. I had 23, so I juuuuuuust missed 75%.

So big 12 is up to KU, OU and us.

Well, if we're going with the "poetic justice" route, can we get KU bounced today and then have us and OU make Final Four runs?

The states of Iowa and Indiana are the only states to still have 3 teams left in the tournament. For reference, California has 0.
