Not like Ohio State didn’t already do me in with their loss but this one hurt B1G time. My brackets are toast.
What gets me are the people who still have a perfect bracket. How in the heck does anyone have the foresight to pick Oral Roberts? I’ve never figured it out.

Nobody has a perfect bracket left after Ohio won last night.
-
Glad I haven’t done brackets for a while. It’s stressful enough rooting for KU.
-
Illinois bye-bye. Another Big10 1 seed Michigan will soon be the same. Kansas will beat USC. I’m hoping for the Zags to stumble, opening up our bracket. People you can all say that I’m on hallucinogenics, but with all of the upsets and a couple more breaks it is not out of the realm of possibility that Kansas can win the National Championship.
-
Well looks like West Virginia is Done - -thought they would do better this year
-
Huggy bear is not a good tourney coach. Consistent at losing early
-
Another double-digit seed wins. Syracuse over WVU.
Oral Roberts - Florida next.
By the way, the last time ORU made it into the NCAA second round was 1974, when there were only 25 teams in the tournament field.
Ah, I remember it well…KU managed to outlast them in OT in front of a pro-ORU crowd in Tulsa to win the Midwest Regional and go to the national semifinals (before they called it the Final Four). The Eagles’ coach, Ken Trickey, had already announced that he was resigning. The night before the game, he got arrested on a suspected DUI (but was actually given a “reckless driving” charge).
As for the Jayhawks, they lost to Marquette in the semis and to Bill Walton & UCLA in the now-defunct third-place game. NC State won the title that year, led by David Thompson.
-
Syracuse was pretty fortunate to win that game. West Virginia played about as badly as they could, shot 15% worse from the field, and still almost won at the end.
-
Texas tech getting screwed by the refs
-
Wow these refs cannot get anything right
-
Pat Adams is a SEC referee who once ejected a commentator. Not surprised Tech is getting screwed.
-
Mcflung with a missed 1 and 1
-
Missed 1 and 1 and missed lay-up. Tech choked
-
Wild ending and tech goes down on missed plays
-
Tech just flat ass plain and simple BLEW that game. - - Down 1 , your best free throw shooter misses free point - – you miss 2 dead layups in the final Seconds - you deserve to lose - Holy Bat Shit Robin
-
Missed 1 and 1 and missed lay-ups. Game was there for TTU to steal, and they didn’t execute in the last minute…

pitiful
-
Tech has no one to blame but themselves
-
Thanks Texas, WVU and Texas Tech. I’m looking forward to the end of the tournament when I can go back to NOT rooting for other Big12 teams.
I expect Okie Light will disappoint me later tonight.
-
Fighting Q Grimes’s on the ropes
-
My bracket was 97% before today and now it’s in the trash can.

your best ft shooter and chokes
-
Wow Rutgers choked … they had Grimes and Houston … had em
-
Both Arkansas and Houston demonstrating how to not lose. Neither actually won. Their opponents just couldn’t execute basic plays.
-
Yep, Rutgers blew it.
-
Update: down 30 percentile points on ESPN over the last two hours. NOT GREAT BOB
-
GO FIGHTING BILLY EUGENES
-
Based on every other game today, I’m pretty sure I know what’s going to happen in this ORU UF game.
-
To be specific, one of the two teams will have a shot to win and blow it
-
EXPECT A(NOTHER) MIRACLE
Absolutely nutso tournament
-
Nice try, Florida.
-
Nova wins big over the Mean Green.
Weird seeing Jay Wright in a sweater. What happened to the D’Annunzio suits?
Jeez, if this keeps up he’ll start to look like Belichick,
-
Okie St. getting spanked at halftime by Oregon St. 44-30.
-
OSU might still win this one
-
Pathetic showing from the B12 today other than Baylor.
-
I have just today seen more abysmally missed shots from < 3 feet than I have seen in entire tournaments.
-
Refs have called two bogus fouls, one on each team in the last minute.
-
Boy that escalated quickly
-
60 free-throws have been shot in this game already. So ya, pretty much refball. Surprised no one has fouled out yet.
-
Speaking of Oklahoma State, did anyone catch the wrestler AJ Ferrari last night? 197 pounder. Total stud wrestler, but he’s a freshman and thinks he’s a pro wrestler because he’s always smack talking, posing, flexing his enormous biceps, etc. There’s an all time great heavyweight right now from Minnesota who is actually named Gable Dan Stevenson. This freshman just said “Next year I’m moving up to heavyweight so I can beat you”.
-
Cade is not playing to his strengths. He’s a jumbo PG, not a guy you want playing hero ball. Neutralizes his biggest strength.
-
This is just awful basketball by the way. Cade Cunningham is the top pick in the draft but can’t score against Oregon St.? LOL, some dude just shot an airball. His shooting form looked worse than my shot.
-
28% shooting for Oklahoma St. Not going to beat anyone doing that. Maybe Texas.
-
And the Big 12 goes 0-for-3 on the day. Meanwhile, the much-maligned Pac-12 is 6 and 0.
Hope we can do something about that tomorrow against USC.
-
@wissox yep, knock on Cade has always been he’s a streaky shooter. Crazy effort from Oregon State too. Hats off to the beavers of Tinkle.
I can’t help myself
-
Wayne Tinkle wins in Hinkle.
-
@nwhawkfan PHOF!!
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich oklahoma?
