Pet peeve of mine: after saving the last timeout, then Belmont uses it before the FTs. So on the missed FT you're stuck with a running halfcourt shot instead of setting up a baseline OOB play.

No sound where I was—was Belmont intentionally fouling with like 1:30 left down 3 or 4?

This Kansas game looks like the first real dog of the day. NEastern isn't involved in the game. 30 points in 25 minutes.

Stop, stop, he's already dead.

HE'S ALREADY DEAD. Northwestern would be smart to just walk off the court right now.

Guess that Kansas noticed they were two wins from getting to play two home games to make a Final Four that's also in the Upper Midwest.

Ye gods, Marquette is absolutely atrocious. It is incredible how a team can just completely forget everything and play like they are 11 years old.

Just like St. John's last night. Half the Big East gone 6 minutes from now.

Yeah, Marquette cannot win this game at this point. I haven't seen Markus Howard do a single thing in this entire 2nd half. His wrist must be doing poorly, because he's been useless at precisely the moment the team needed him.

This is why I said what I said about starting UVM/FSU at 2:00. The 2nd session is supposed to start in Hartford at 7:20 which will definitely not happen now since they have to clear the building. Usually there's 90 minutes between sessions or so. When the heck will Nova/St. Mary's start?

7:45 start. Good luck clearing the building and re-entering in this timeframe.

Haven’t had a chance to pay attention to any gage except the last 3 minutes of that Marquette murder. I picked them because I thought they’d win the one on one ... they apparently mailed it in.

I think they should have put one of these Gonzaga or SMC games in the late slot for the benefit of WCC fans. So they wouldn't go head to head against each other for tv purposes.

Thought Nevada would have done better. Actually though Abilene would have kept this closer based on some of the things I was reading
