Thanks for this thread, it’s been quite a bracket busting tourney so far with Arizona, Virginia, and Purdue going down. Kansas lost today.
UCLA made it into the Sweet 16, hope Singleton’s ankle will be ok. |

It being the 2nd time a #16 seed beating a #1 and 11 times a #15 has beaten a #2, I think we safely say there are no more easy outs in the tournament. Teams that are not prepared for their opponents no matter what the seeding can lose. |

UCLA vs Gonzaga in another thriller, sadly for UCLA fans the outcome was the same as they lost again by a Gonzaga 3 in crunch time. |

Still not as bad as 1996 vs Princeton. Maybe the Bruins avoided another loss to them. Silver lining... _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL

San Diego State Aztecs beat #1 Alabama thus helping the NCAA avoid any questions about Brandon Miller deep into the tourney.
Miami coached by Jim Larranaga beats the last #1 seed Houston left in the tournament. |

Rooting for SDSU to make the Final Four. I think they've been overlooked at times when it comes to college basketball programs in Socal because they are in a smaller conference. |

Glad to see the Aztecs advance. UCI was 1 defensive stop away from beating SDSU this season. |

What a run by my beloved Mighty Aztecs!
And we have a good chance to get to the Final also.
The city is absolutely giddy right now. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Those Aztecs are pretty resilient. The game looked pretty bleak for them midway thru the 2nd half in the semifinal. Now they cut it down to single digits. |
