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...

George Mason going to the final game that year. Proof.

It looks like Florida Atlantic is this year’s Cinderella.

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. |
