I am loving that we can go through the rest of the tournament without hearing "Zion" every two minutes. He made some real boneheaded plays last night that, arguably, cost Duke the game.

   Now we can 'tank' the rest of the season so we have a shot at 'ZION', so as to not disappoint @mountaineer

I can not help but think, Tech really does look like the best team out there.

The last time, a team from Texas won it was Texas Western in '66, that team is now UTEP of course.

I thought maybe UH won it when they had Ralph Sampson and Akim Olajuwon as the Twin Towers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_men%27s_basketball_champions  (All winners)

And the Spartans took down Duke, right? That is a mean-fete in itself.

Virginia (over Purdue) and Auburn (over the Wildcasts of KY), all of the teams should be congratulated for their excellent play.

It's probably not as clear as last year with 'Nova looking like the top team out of the 4; but TT really handled it to the Wolverines in their game.

Olajuwon and Sampson played pro together, with the Houston Rockets.

Sampson went to the University of Virginia and Olajuwon went to the University of Houston.

Now that the U of H's valiant effort against Kentucky fell short, I'll be rooting for the Red Raiders.

Guns up, Y'all.

I guess I will be the lone wolf and guess Auburn (The two votes for them are mine, one logged in, one not)... more hopeful than actual reasoning (since Auburn lost their big guy the other day).... but man they are hot recently...

Good ole Charles Barkley, politically he is a nut, liberal one day, conservative the next (at least he has a mind of his own).... I rooted for him during his college days (games were free for students to attend)...

One thing he has done I liked, he never wavered for supporting the college. Him and Bo Jackson both are great for the university PR wise.

P.S. @corbe Sorry about the double vote (I tend to vote before I realize I am not logged in, then vote again cause I want to see the results)... bad habit I need to break.

As a lifelong Virginia fan, I caught the double-dribble of Ty Jerome, and was shocked that the announcers didn't catch it.  But the foul on Guy in the corner with 0.6 left was definitely a foul.

I swore I wasn't going to watch this game as I headed outside to do yard work.  When I came back in, there was about 4 minutes left, and Virginia was up by 10.  As a lifelong fan, I have grown accustomed to Virginia losing again and again, with leads bigger than this.  True to form, I watch Virginia give up 14 unanswered points, turning a 10-pt lead into a 4-pt deficit.  I distinctly remember their last Final Four appearance with freshman C Olden Polynice shutting down #1 draft pick Akeem Olajuwon.  Virgina ahead by 2 and the ball with 20 seconds left on the clock.  Virginia would go on to lose that game and many many more crucial games for the next three decades.

I don't feel at all good about the missed double-dribble call.  But I have seen calls like this go against Virginia in close games with Duke or UNC for decades now.  Can't believe a missed call finally went their way.

Full disclosure:  I picked Mich St. to win it all.
