All good.

in ~41 seconds to force OT

Finally. It's been a long time coming. Onward to Louisville.

NEXT !!

patsox must be enjoying watching one of his boys on the big stage!

well done, jstamour1024!

Thanks to DC_VU_Chapter for spearheading the contest again this year - he is a great Villanovan!

Certainly don't have the look of a 1 to me.

They really look tight. Unable to get the ball inside.

The announcers were completely mystified why Jay put the starters back in with 90 seconds left. I'm sitting here saying Jay took them out to soon, and he put them back in to not allow it to get any closer. It was so obvious yet Verne and his partner were stupified. Post game Jay said it was because he got scared. I loved it when Verne said it was for the fans who can't travel to Louisville.

Article on CBS, I don't know how to copy and paste from my phone. I didn't realize that Dixon played at TCU. Gary Patterson has made their football team a national player, I'm sure they see Dixon as someone who could do the same with the hoops team.

Watch other games without a sense of dread or depression!

There's a small chance that the wife and I don't converse tomorrow for 2 reasons:
1. She's a 2003 alum of Iowa. If Cats win, she'll be happy that I'm not in a bad mood and we'll be good. If Hawkeyes win, hmmm, I hope I can forgive her.
2. I go on a 6 month deployment to El Salvador on Monday morning 0500. Tomorrow, obviously, is our last family day. The fact that I've informed her that it's "must watch TV" has, for some crazy reason, perturbed her. Luckily, here in Hawaii, the game starts at 0610. Should be over by 0930. Phew.

BTW - my little brother is a Hawkeye - we've already decided to not talk tomorrow.

Go CATS

ace, got a real random one for ya, what was your old signature? The one that was something along the lines of "the best response to fools is silence"? Also, where is that quote from? Thank you sir.

Their average seed faced is 11.6 over 12 games.

Northern Iowa up 12 with 44 seconds to go, turn it over four times to give up the tying bucket with 2 seconds left, now going to OT.

All the player had to do was throw it down the court and the game is over...taking the last SEC team with it.

amazing game. Aggies come back from 11 in last mi ute including a 10-2 run in last 22 seconds to send it to OT.

Did critics now see why Jay sent starters back in today with 90 seconds left. ANYTHING can happen in the tourney!

Nova -4.5

He is the key to beating Miami. BTW wasn't he at Kansas State when Beasley was there? He's gotta be 24 years old by now.

I used to prefer the 1 3 2 1 set up where you had a game at non, 3 at 2ish, 2 at 4 30 ish and one evening game. Is it really better to have all these games at night? I am hooped out

I have softened over the year's and their is no need to hate on Phil and Joe Lunardi anymore...Both have said good things about us lately !!

Hoping for the second game like we had in Boston

I thought they automatically had the two highest scorers?

Kris is playing at a high level and makes this team much tougher than last year to guard with how he can stretch the court compared to Pinkston.

He also has a great floor game and is an adept passer.

But my biggest concern was his D. And today, he did a great job battling Uthoff. He got in his grill and showed great mobility to offset his length disadvantage.

I know adp and others were on Jenkins' bandwagon. I always loved Jenkins as a heat check guy. But he is way more than that. He looks even more fit now than at the beginning of the year.

He is a really, really good college player.

but I'll take a 9 pt lead
