It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Holy crap NW pulled it out. No one wanted to make a shot that last minute.

That was a seriously impressive inbounds pass. I can't even be mad.

At least we're not the Thalmor (yet)
1.7 seconds left Northwestern heaves a full-court pass, caught by a man, lays it in over the defense to win the game over Michigan and pretty much punch their ticket to the dance.

Holy poo poo what a play.

It was nice of Zak Irvin to jack up an idiotic three instead of getting the last shot so that Northwestern could make the tournament. Just the kind of bad player but good person that he is

Can I be mad that the 6'10" guy literally stood there shrugging his shoulders while guarding no one instead of making a play on the ball?

I mean, have you ever seen a player stop playing and shrug his shoulders while an opposing player is making the game winning shot?

It was a full court pass for a game winning shot.

So yes.

Did he really not? Man there were like two replays that make it seem like he made his own separation.

Hell of a pass to get the ball to him at any rate, and Zak Irvin is still an idiot

Just got back from Welsh-Ryan arena. That game nearly erased 2 decades of watching this team suck out loud. Nearly. The inevitable Sweet 16 run will erase the rest.

I'm opposed to East Carolina winning sort of on principle but it's pretty hilarious nonetheless to watch UConn take an L in Greenville NC.

drat, this Murray State/Tennessee Tech game...

Watch the last couple minutes of the second OT here

http://www.ovcdigitalnetwork.com/watch/?Live=5218

edit: great ending, Murray State pulled it out. Friendly reminder that a lot of the early round games for these small conferences can be watched for free on that conference's digital channel.

Go Fighting Camels--though actually a little sad for this, UNC-A has had an unexpectedly great year and would have been a pretty nasty 15/16 matchup. Winthrop could still do well though.

Purdue shouldn't be a 5 seed, but on the other hand the Big Ten is trash.

Winthrop might end up with a pretty drat easy path to the autobid. 6 seed Radford is ahead of 3 seed Liberty 29-21 at halftime.

There's a bracket out there with Georgia Tech (17-13) and Wake Forest (17-12) in and Wichita State (27-4) and Illinois State (25-5) out.

Middle Tennessee State, the best team in the C-USA by a long, long way, is in trouble against 6-23 Florida International. Started out in a 19-1 hole, now 30-18. Still first half though.
