The whole game I kept thinking "UCF is going to break your heart at the end" and THEY DID.

Between the missed alley-oop and the inability to get the rebound on that last missed FT... they had their chances to take out Duke...

Oh well - Zion will be on the Bulls next year if the universe wants to throw me a bone!

Oregon is the lowest seed in the Sweet Sixteen, so Go Ducks!
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Oregon has a good chance against Virginia. I hope they win

I picked Duke in the CBSsports bracketeering, but I would be delighted if Gonzaga or Oregon won.

After the tournament, sports will more or less be over (except for the NBA championship) until the college football kickoffs.

Are you kidding? Opening day was yesterday for Baseball! And the spring preview football game is in a couple of weeks. Both good excuses to drink beer and enjoy the entertainment.

Some good games tonight, but the Kentucky-Houston game sounds the most interesting.

Duke- Michigan State is looking good. 3 minutes to go. Two great coaches, two great teams.

Duke ran out of luck. Missed the free throw he tried to make. Made the one he tried to miss.

My brackets are just about all busted. Too many points behind to catch anyone ahead of me.

I’m going to predict Auburn over Virginia and Michigan State over Texas Tech. But with Gonzaga and Duke gone I’m not too invested in anybody.

Texas Tech vs Virginia
7-9:30 PM MST CBS

It might not be as exciting as a prayer-exhortation competition between BYU and Oral Roberts University, but it is live tonight.
