oh ya go my Oregon State

---

Oral Roberts up at half

---

at least I got my points today in Baylor winning. The other 3 games I can't get points at all


---

You're almost there Oral Roberts, just hold it together.

---

God I jinxed it so bad

---

That was such a good shot attempt, thats why you dont throw the dumb 60-70 foot pass

---

That was very disappointing

---

So close

---

hammered that +11.5 for Oral (roberts) so I'm still happy even though I wanted them to get the dub

Syracuse has scored 5 points in nearly 10 minutes of game time

stop putting mediocre Syracuse teams in the tournament every year

That's because they had 3 seconds and not half a second.
---

The only time the 60 foot pass makes sense is if you are throwing it to a wide open player, I dont care how much time is left


---

So you think trying to shoot a full court shot is a good idea?
---

I think the odds of a player hitting a 2/3 court shot before the clock expires is better than completing a 50-70 foot pass, getting the shot off before the buzzer and making it.


---

thank you Houston from a grateful nation

---

Always grateful when Syracuse's BS run as a 2-digit seed comes to an end.

Well the former never happens and the latter has some pretty famous examples.

Or in other words, half court is about the limit and that's a pretty big pass as it is.

I guess at this point I'm rooting for Gonzaga to finally get it done

or Oregon State for the lulz

---

That's basically where I am too I think. Gonzaga or putting some RESPECT on the Pac-12's name with the comedy option of the Pac-12 teams continuing to just win to troll the committee.

The committee always puts them in as a last team in because they know they'll win 2 games every year.

---

first half Michigan was good, but not great offensively

However their defense is so good that Florida St really didn't do much

---

Michigan ended 2nd half strong to put away Florida St by 18

UCLA up 11 on Alabama at half!

---

Pac-12 too strong

---

UCLA's 2nd half plan seems to be jack up 3's and miss all of them


---

Go Blue

---

I don't know how Alabama sucks at 3's all game then makes a clutch one at the buzzer to force OT

---

time to start preparing for UCLA

---

Three Pac-12 teams in the Elite Eight

---

you had a good run Oregon State

---

Houstons first since Hakeem

Watching these teams I feel like Baylor is probably the strongest but I wouldnt mind Houston or a PAC 12

---

Gonzaga is pretty good

---

If Michigan wins, this is probably the first Final Four that I predicted correctly since 2004, or whenever GT/Ok St/Duke/UConn made it.

---

that was indeed 2004

I got Gonzaga and Baylor right, and I've got Gonzaga winning, so I'll take it.

---

Plz my Michigan

---

Wagner's airball ahahaha

---

That could have been such an easy tie at the end.

By which I meant before the last play.
---

farewell Big Ten

Two Final Four schools in Texas and two on the west coast

---

I would have kept feeding Dickinson but alas

---

smashed a parlay on the UCLA and Gonzaga spreads tonight. Awww yeah

---

Is UCLA the first play in team to make a final four?

---

No, VCU did that, if not the first year, near the beginning of the expansion to 68 teams.

Edit: It was in fact the first year, in 2011.
---

Roy Williams retired.

---

welp Houston was out of it quickly

---

And the next game could be even worse!
---

Happy to be wrong for now, even if it doesn't last.
---

I swear Gonzaga if you blow this
