Can I just win our contest for calling this one? The birth of my daughter involved blood and poop, so this is proudest day of my life.

I have a general question about the end of games. You know when one team is down by a few buckets in the last couple minutes, they continue to foul the other team when they get the ball? And then when the team losing gets ball they shoot 3s to try to reduce the lead? Why doesnt the team thats ahead also foul the other team so they cant shoot 3s? In theory the game would just go back and forth with foul shots with the team down a large majority unable to really come back in such a short amount of time.

If there is only a few seconds left some coaches do employ that strategy.

Who picked the Mississippi upset over Wisconsin?! This guy!

I did too, tough guy. Did you have balls enough to pick Florida Gulf Coast over Jseahawks Hoyas though?

I love and dread that pick. But, I did it.

Nice call. Not JSeahawks hoyas though. I'm all about the 'Canes.

Now that they lost, of course they're not your Hoyas.

FGCU beat your stupid Canes.

Western Kentucky had every chance to win that game and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I am looking forward to watchng FGCU and La Salle play. Both are exciting to watch

Because a 3 point shot is low percentage, and by fouling, you also stop the clock for the opposing team. You're trying to drive down the seconds, not allow the other team to score without losing those precious seconds.

Michigan v VCU should be great. I had zero clue the Wolverines we're that good.

Outstanding guards for Michigan. Interesting to see if VCU can rattle them at some point.

VCU can't hit anything. Surprised how awful that team is at shooting.

Michigan is just destroying VCU. Their guards are the best in tourney right now.
