As Jamie Dixon closes in on his first Sweet 16 since the buzzer beater Elite 8 loss to Villanova nI believe

Closes might be strong. Lotta game to go.

Another funny element there. That was Jay Wright's semi-breakthrough, but then Nova won one NCAA game the next four years, missing one tournament. And the two years after that, lost as a 2 and 1 seed in the second round. 

And then lordy they broke through.

Survive and advance.

I think it's dumb that when the shot clock incorrectly resets, they set it to where it was caught at. I'm guessing Arizona would not have played it that way, had they not looked up and seen a fresh shot clock. I think the game clock, and shot clock, should both go back to where they were when it was incorrectly reset

They were in a line of teams I always picked to underachieve on my bracket, until they weren't.  It was Florida, then Kansas, then Wisconsin and Villanova.  I'm not sure I have a go-to right now, but Illinois and Iowa are right there unfortunately. Maybe along with Tennessee?

Inexcusable to not be aware of the time there

We haven’t had the buzzer beaters everyone loves but the games the last 4 days have been really competitive.  Really intense competition.

I'm not sure we had the moment, that is going to make the montage years from now, but Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday all delivered. Friday was the only day there really did not

Announcers kept saying Arizona dominated the inside, but TCU racked up EIGHTEEN offensive boards.

I think Elite 8 is their destiny, and where it stops. But, hope springs eternal.

Oops! Iowa wbb - my optimism screwed up.
My little sister was on the team in the late '70s/early '80s. The late '70s coach was really good and they had a good team with a 17-9 record. The early '80s replacement coach she had was a horrible disaster who wanted to only play her scholarship players, who were horrible. I think they went 3-22. Ugh!
As sometimes happens after one's era, in this case my baby sister's, ends, disaster led to greatness and Coach C. Vivian Stringer. My little sister graduated before great fortune struck.

That was a tough game to watch. UW couldn't do anything. You could tell Johnny was still hurting, and then when Hep went down, you could tell it was over. Really could have used Bowman last night, but he's home in Detroit.

2 teams into the S16, with a good chance to put at least 1 in the E8 isn't too bad.  Purdue could win the whole thing if they can put things together, but they do still have too many lulls.

Conrgrats to Purdue.

Conrgrats to Purdue.

Good battle by Texas. 

Sorry to be the team that eliminated your guys, 94, but... they were in our way

F Nebraska.
