Nevada comes back from 22 down to tie it!

And takes the lead! WOW!

 

[Halladay]

That was nuts.

 

[Natey]

Holy shit I'm glad I watched that Nevada game. Holy crap. Amazing.

 

[HisIceness]

Wow. Cincinnati will never live that down.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I just saw the Nevada score. Holy crap. No high seed is safe.

Cincy was up 22 with 10 minutes left.

22.

 

[Jray42]

That's a killer

Top four seeds gone in that bracket.

 

[Wild11MN]

Top four seeds gone in that bracket.

They just said first time in tournament history that all four top seeds miss the Sweet 16 in the same region. March Madness!

There's a long way to go obviously, but things are looking plausible for a run to the Final Four by UMBC in the South.

I was literally about to post the exact same thing. If they win this one... you never know...

Is it possible that too many upsets can be too much of a good thing?

Hell no. I was bored to death yesterday until the ending to the Michigan game

My take is that upsets until the Final Four are fantastic. But when it comes down to it, the most memorable championship games happen when two of the best teams in the country play each other.

Unfortunately, I would say the best three teams remaining are Nova, Duke, Kansas in some order, and they're all on the same side of the bracket.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Kind of feels like UMBC is running out if time. Kansas St is really stuffing them defensively. Still time left though.

Whatever happens, UMBC has nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Halladay]

This is terrible offense from both teams.

 

[DoyleG]

I can imagine all the cursing I'll hear at work tomorrow.

Most of their pool picks got wrecked over the weekend.

 

[Natey]

UMBC was terrible. So many open shots that they just couldn't hit. Lyles and Sherburne were disgustingly bad. But hey, they've got 3 records! First #16 to win vs a #1, first #16 to play in the 2nd round, and first #16 to lose in the second round.

 

[Tecumseh]

This is terrible offense from both teams.

Might have been a different game if UMBC made their free throws

UMBC made shots on Friday. They didn't tonight. Live by the shot, die by the shot.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Florida State up by one against Xavier with 30 seconds to go.

 

[rangerssharks414]

What the hell was that by Xavier?

 

[Tecumseh]

Xavier goes out on an airball. Yikes.
