Not even halfway through the first afternoon, and my bracket is toast. Did ANYONE have the three results so far? Probably no one in the world.

After seeing 2 big upsets already today I've got a feeling that this is going to be a crazy tourney.

Forget that goal tending call. UCLA guy pushed of bigger than hell on that 3 pointer. But SMU still had the game and blew it.
I had SMU beating Iowa State to advance to the sweet 16. Neither one of them made it to the next game. I also had Baylor in the sweet 16.
Are you kidding?
That was the WORST call on earth.
SMU Robbed.
When they showed the replay again - the ball was not close to the basket, never touched the rim and his hand tipped it when it was even with the rim - clearly OUTSIDE the cylinder. It was an air-ball.
The worst part? the official who called it goal tending was at the time-line near half court! If it was called it should have been the under the basket ref who just watched it.
That ref should be gone for the rest of the tourney for a call like that. You just can't make a judgment call like that unless you are certain - especially if you are not the one in position to make that call.
How are your brackets looking? Mine is already dead. I had Iowa State losing to UK in the finals.
This is the first time in my life I've ever filled out a bracket and didn't have Duke winning it all. Now I can easily them going to the final four.
I'll never make this mistake again.

I'm laughing at everyone who had Iowa State in the final four. No sympathy for your brackets. I am not guaranteeing Duke to make it there, but I could not wrap my head around the fear / love for the cyclones.
LOL. They really can't make that a goal tend call - from that official from that angle on that play.
On Tru TV they are looking at the shot from outside and the ball is clearly outside the cylinder; it is not above the rim nor is it even going to touch the rim - it has no shot to go in.
What is more ridiculous is on that replay this John Adams - the head of NCAA officials - does not have the integrity to contradict his own officials. No reason to have such a commentator on without objectivity.
I had UCLA in that game but still... feel horrible for those SMU kids.

Ellis, on Cincinnati, ejected for a flagrant 2. Such a stupid move (and dangerous) to slam a guy in the throat.
