Louisville will wake up eventually I’m sure, but right now yikes.

Nothing but respect for teachers that work under those conditions; not many willing to do it. My daughter teaches special needs kids in an inner city school in Kansas City, Mo, and I know how stressful it can be.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Thanks. No stress this afternoon though!
-
Wow, a flagrant 1 at the end of a game? Way to screw up my bracket even more refs.
-
Refs just handed Arkansas the game.
-
How do you call a flagrant there? Way to ruin the game.
-
Well said and that’s awesome of your daughter to do that job.
-
Louisville starting to gain control now.
-
Disagreeing that it’s a call that will be discussed forever because these two teams stink and Arkansas will be bounced by 25 points Sunday.
-
WHAT A TERRIBLE FLAGRANT CALL.
-
@wissox A girl fight is the one thing I refuse to break up at my school. I’ve dealt with two of them in the hallways this year and my focus was protecting the other students and let the police and administration deal with breaking up the fight. I’m 6-5 about 270 lbs. and I refuse to get in the middle of girl fights because there is no stopping them. When guys fight, there’s at least some semblance of strategy, but a girl fight is just grabbing, punching, pulling, or kicking anything within reach. There is no logic involved in a girl fight.
-
Yeah ultimately it doesn’t matter.

Man sittin there and watching that dam Oklahoma St & Michigan game I was having a flashback - -Michigan hittin every cottin pickin 3 they threw up in the 2nd half - -I thought dam, Iowa State at Allen all over again. - -I thought Oklahoma St actually played pretty well for the most part, if Evans would of hit a few more of his lay ups mercy. - -WELP 1 down. - -Baylor turns it on in the 2nd half, thought they were going to pull thewir annual early exit, but props they came alive. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Any chance KState beats Cincy tonight?
-
I predict many exbruces for the loss, players to be thrown under the bus. That said, Cincy isn’t good on offense, so there is a chance.
-
Some of the post game analyst, including a NCAA official, are saying that he pushed him hard and the call was warranted. I disagree. If he pushed hard he would had fallen towards the sideline but the replay clearly shows he tried to hold him and he tripped and fell towards the basket. Sure it was a foul but no way it was flagrant as the game announcers pretty much said at the time.
-
@JayHawkFanToo It was a flagrant because there was no play on the ball which is a black and white rule.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I agree-- and I also think by the letter of the law that he didn’t make “a basketball play on the ball” they were probably right within the rules.
But it was still a terrible call. Players put two hands on each other all of the time and it’s not called flagrant. They should have let him shoot the free throws and moved on.
Terrible way to be eliminated from the tournament.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Yes. Kansas State WildEmaws will win.
-
Player commit touch fouls without making a play for the ball all the time at the end of games and it is rarely called a flagrant. No doubt it was a foul but I don’t believe it should have been called a flagrant, at least not at that point in the game.
-
Come on SMU, close this.
-
Holy shit. Speaking of Brannen Greene references, SMU player with his foot on the oob line after catching the ball…
-
Shaky ft shooter on the line down 1…
-
Wow this game…
-
Rhody looks pretty good. I believe I have them winning a couple (but we see how that went for me with SMU).
-
I liked the 11 seeds, but not Rhode Island wth creighton?
-
Yep I have URI beating Oregon, which is probably a little crazy.
-
@BShark Ya slightly crazy. I have URI winning today but losing to Oregon. Have Oregon in the elite 8 actually.
-
Didn’t watch anything but the last minute of SMU/SC, but why did SMU lose with 3 TO’s in their pocket? Coach figured he didn’t have anything good to say?
-
Probably been watching tape of Roy.
-
Speaking of Roy, UNC looks reaaaaaaal good.
-
@BShark they do but they are also playing Texas southern
-
Don’t see them having a close game until the EE.
-
@wissox jankovich mismanaged the last 30 seconds badly. Looks like nothing designed to get a look. Just hero ball
-
It’s probably no big deal that he didn’t call a TO. Here’s what they say at TO’s anyways:
Make sure you box out.
Make sure you switch on their screens.
Watch out for the back door cuts.
You’ve got to keep the ball moving.
Check out that dancer out there.
Where you want to eat after the game? Buffalo Wild Wings? They show lots of games and we can check our brackets there.
You guys on the bench, be ready, I may need you.
-
Half an hour until the Hoi Hawks tip off.
-
Not sure if anyone’s still paying attention, but how the heck does a 7 seed like South Carolina get to play a game in their own state? Pretty good treatment for an average team.
-
Because they let the boys use the girls bathroom.
-
@Hawk69 True
-
Retracting all previous negative comments about Michigan State. Typical Izzo…ugh…
-
@BShark they are playing as well as they have all year. Our guys will have their hands full.
-
14 losses says otherwise to playing well all year. I think KU will win by about 8-10 but there are definitely days where it ends up being a loss.
-
@Hawk69 I think we in SC just haven’t prohibited local school districts or town from deciding for themselves how they want to address the issue. Not yet, at least–some are trying, though.
Meanwhile, in news of much less importance to our legislators, SC schools are now ranked 50th out of 50. Lead editorial cartoon today shows SC taking down the (joking) State Seal that reads “Thank God for Mississippi”.
-
Looks like it will be a Izzo, Self showdown. Hopefully our guys get to watch the first few minutes of this one. MSU got down 10 or 12 to zip, came back and won. It seems to me like everytime we lose to MSU we blow leads, 2 times in the champions classic and one in the sweet 16 in 09.
-
@wissox they SC are taking care of business. How much due to venue do you think?
-
SMU was a top pick to advance and didn’t.
And upset to boot. Didn’t USC have play in game on top of that?!
-
@Bwag yes, providence
