  Your mom's my favorite! Lol. Zing.

  Tony Bennett disposing of Josh Pastner pretty easily. Another coach who will never win a national title or make a Final Four.

  Horrible call!

  Pangos down..Zags would be done without him
• wildcats20

  

  Ahhhh imagine that Wragge with a blatant 2 hand shove. Douche and bag.
• -Society-

  

  I liked that call. Good effort.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Despite going to 2 Elite Eights, this will be Scott Drews first tournament win over a single digit seed.

  What a play!

  This is EXACTLY how Creighton deserved to go out. Getting their asses handed to them on a silver platter.
• reclegend22

  

  Forget about tonight's game, Creighton is fucked moving forward in the New Big East. Next year I imagine a showing similar (maybe not quite as bad) to Butler this season. It was not a good idea for either of those schools to make the jump to play with Georgetown, St. John's, Villanova and Providence on a nightly basis.
  
  Butler would've been fine with Brad Stevens at the helm, but Brandon Miller and Greg McDermott are not Brad Stevens. It could get ugly.

  We won't hear from Creighton again.

  These refs are horrible.

  I imagine they'll eventually get out of the Big East. If they don't, welcome to the world of perennial also-ran.

  After the first 3 games delivered, the last 5 have handed us complete ass-kickings.

  I've said it already. This tourney has been embarrassing as an official. They're just awful.

  UCLA, KY, WISC, and UVA advancing to the Elite 8 should about win my pool....don't think any other games the rest of the way would matter.
  Florida beating Louisville in the championship also wins with my other bracket - how's that for hedging your bets?
  
  On the flipside, UCLA and Louisville both winning is about the worst possible scenario for me.

  Anybody think Mcdermott will amount to anything in the NBA? Imo he'll be below average, if he ends up even sticking around the NBA and doesnt end up overseas or in the D league

  No where close to that good...same thing I said about Adam Morrison.

  Yeah Morrison was another bust that i called, not that calling him as a bust was really that hard to predict

  What a shot!
• Laley23

  

  McDermott is 100x the offensive player Morrison was. He has the offensive game that most guys, even in the NBA, dream of. NBA range from 3, step backs, fadeaways and the movement without the ball.
  
  He may bust, but he easily had the offensive game to play for 10 years.

  Let me in that pool. The only team remotely not a given to the S16, IMO, is Kentucky from that group. Who had Virginia, Wisconsin or UCLA losing to the teams in their bracket???

  No way was that a foul. Hands didn't even touch him.
