  Anyone watching the games online at March Madness live? For some reason it went off air and hasn't returned.

  I am and I don't have any problems right now. But earlier for the Duke game the video wasn't showing up. I just figured it was my work computer being a POS.

The Final Four was obviously reaching looking back, but Wisconsin has been to five Sweet 16s under Ryan, including two straight, and an elite eight. So, on a normal year, when I wouldn't pick Wisconsin all the way to the Final Four, I would be alright picking them. This year they got upset early and I lost.
  
  But I still think that this Wisconsin team could have went deep in this tournament with the matchups it had from here on out. Ole Miss ended the game on a crazy run, though, and Wisconsin is going home.

  That is all probably true.
  
  But the E8 you keep harping on was a GIFT. Sure they played UNC tough. They also had to beat an 11, 14, 10 to get there. Literally cannot have an easier path to the E8. Even a 1 seed is guaranteed to have to play an 8/9...
  
  His 1st S16 run was a gift. A 12 and a 13 to get there...before losing to a real team in UK
  
  2nd S16 run he was 31-5 and had a 14, 11 and then LOST to a 10...
  
  3rd S16 run he finally did what is expected beat the 14 and then the 5, but did lose to an 8...
  
  4th S16 run I would say was his best tournament. Really his only one I would point to. Beat the 14, 5 and then lost in a close game to the 1. But again, didnt overachieve...just did what his seed said he should.
  
  You can think he is a better March coach than me, but the numbers are definitely on my side. He constantly losses to worse teams, and rarely...if ever...pulls an upset. The best he has ever done is what his seed said he should do (then the gift of an E8 run...)

  NC State is staying just within striking distance here...could be a good finish if the Wolfpack can figure out how to defend.

  And just like that they're within 3. Here we go
• Fly4Fun

  

  La Salle is getting out early against Kansas State.
• Mulva

  

  NC State a little lacking in situational awareness. Determined to launch 3s and fouling 35 feet from the hoop.

  I was going to cheer for Cinci Bearcats until I saw their uniforms. Worse ever.
  
  
• Laley23

  

  LaSalle-KSt could get out of hand. KSt is incredibly undisciplined on offense. Lots of 1-1.
• Azubuike24

  

  2 tough calls against NCSU late. The blocked shot call especially...
• Mulva

  

  I picked all 6 Big 12 teams to win in the first round. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
• sleeper

  

  Would love Lasalle to beat KSU. Would screw everyone's bracket lol.
• Laley23

  

  After the brackets came out I kind of had this feeling KSt would lose to Boise or LaSalle. Could make the pick cause I had McGruder in the Pick-Em. But even I didnt think they would look this bad. LaSalle is good offensively, not that good on defense. KSt doesnt even run a base set, as far as I can tell

  Not mine I picked La Salle/BSU over KSU before La Salle won haha. But mine is already screwed up due to Wisky and New Mexico losing !
• friendfromlowry

  I actually have KSU and OSU in the elite eight in that region, so I'm not hurting...yet. If KSU doesn't turn it around then I'll be in the same boat as everyone who picked Wisconsin or New Mexico.
• sleeper

  

  Virtual zero percent chance KSU comes back.

  Probably. Pacific coming back though!
• Cleveland Buck

  

  I had KSU to the Sweet 16 and Cincinnati over Creighton, so after the hot start I'm back down to earth.
• Laley23

  

  Yeah, KSU isnt coming back from 20 down in 20 minutes. Not with their offesne.

  Already cut it to 13 with 18 minutes still to go lol. Still I don't think they will comeback.

  No. Chance. LaSalle is too good offensively got KST to get enough stops. No shot.
• gorocks99

  

  Holy shit, Yogi Ferrell. 14 points in 6 minutes.
• gorocks99

  

  La Salle has been terrible this half. K-State within 7.
