Completing the field of 16, saw the removal of all teams from the Big 11.

Pitt fell to Bradley, keeping one team from Illinois still in the NCAA.

Another Pennsylvania team falls as Bucknell is battered and beaten by Memphis.

Fire Roy Williams! Not only does his team lose to a George Mason team seeded 8 spots below his team (just like Pitt) but UNC blew a 7 point halftime lead to lose by 5. Oh, you mean this was a young UNC team that overachieved? A team that played a bunch of underclassmen who hadn’t started before? A team that is a credit to the coach and his staff for bringing them along and getting this much from them, when little was expected? That seems familiar. Give me a few minutes I know I’ll place it.

UConn wins again without a full heart, and it’s another reminder why Marcus Williams got a slap on the wrist for stealing laptops. Kid is clutch and the only reason why the 1-16 upset of legend and myth didn’t happen this year.

WVU put Northwestern St. away early then coasted the rest of the way. Given the population demographic of West Virginia and Louisiana, do you think more than 5 people with a full set of teeth saw this game?

If Herb Sendek had personality and charm, he’d be celebrated in Raleigh as one of their best coaches ever. Instead, the zombie keeps facing job questions despite consistently good work. Texas was the better team and it showed as they pulled away in the second half.

The real tragedy of Cinci getting shafted by the selection committee last week, there was such an opening for a chorus of “four dead in O-hi-o,” after the first weekend. Now it just falls flat as Ohio State gets humiliated on a home court by Georgetown. Three Ohio teams started in the Field of 64, and now there are none. The entire Big 11 is out of the Tournament.

Arizona finally remembered how to play basketball, but it was too late and Villanova is the remaining team out of four from Pennsylvania to advance.
