Got interesting, but Creighton held on and pulled away! Congrats, too bad you didn't make the other tourney!

Watching LSU Maryland, one thing i noticed these teams are so long athletic and tall wow. Especially Maryland just length at every position. Unfortunately all that natural talent doesn't guarantee a win, sure helps though.

Wofford up 6 on Kentucky late in 1st. Calipari frantically trying to get Brian O'Connell to show up in his zebra suit.

Why didn't this version of Fletcher McGee show up against the Hall?

I didn't watch the game, but that late Thursday game to early Saturday game turnaround may have something to do with it.

Makes a difference when you have 5 star talent chasing him around instead of 3 star guys.

McGee hit contested shots vs Seton Hall.

To me, the more frustrating observation I have had from this tournament (more so than the Big East being eliminated) is the abundance of cheating coaches/programs that have advanced as far as they have. Bruce Pearl, Kelvin Sampson, LSU, UNC and - even though they lost last night - Kansas, all won and have advanced past the round of 64, with all but Kansas likely reaching the Sweet 16. Pearl was given a three-year show-cause penalty for lying/covering up infractions to the NCAA at Tennessee; Kelvin Sampson was given a five-year show-cause penalty for even worse infractions; Will Wade is currently on suspension at LSU for being on wire taps making a big offer to a recruit (their season will likely be taken away once the full FBI findings are released); UNC has a whole laundry list of issues on their own (none of which stuck); Kansas was/is involved in the Adidas scandal.

It's just a poor and unfortunate standard to have.
