Unless Duke or Villanova win the championship this year's champion may be the worst team since Villanova won it in 85.  Way too many upsets.

Xavier's 75-70 loss to Florida State marks the 4th time two No. 1 seeds failed to reach the Sweet 16 (2004, 2000, 1981) since seeding began in 1979.

FSU closed the game on a 18-4 run in the final 5:30. The Musketeers had more turnovers (6) than points (4) during that stretch.

Followers, you're right. Kansas State has advanced to the Regional Semifinals more than 7 times.

However, for clarification, official 'Sweet 16' appearances began in 1975 when every team had to win a game to reach that round.

With North Carolina's loss Sunday, no reigning national champion has advanced past the Sweet 16 since Florida won back-to-back titles from 2006-07.

Auburn's offense struggled mightily in the first half, leading to their 31-point loss to Clemson.

It's tied for the largest margin of defeat by an SEC team in an NCAA Tournament game (Arkansas lost to UNC in 2008).

Chris Beard: I dream about coaching on Monday night.


Quote"I dream about Monday night," Red Raiders head coach Chris Beard said Monday. "I'm a dreamer. I think about One Shining Moment. I'm one of those types of people."

Tech will face Purdue on Friday in the semifinals of the East Region. The Red Raiders beat both Stephen F. Austin and Florida in their first two NCAA Tournament games.

UMBC vs. Loyola-Chicago: Who is your favorite 2018 NCAA Tournament underdog?


QuoteNCAA Tournament's signature chaos has been in full effect, with low-seeded teams like the University of Maryland-Baltimore County and Loyola-Chicago becoming March Madness darlings. UMBC shot its way into hearts of sports fans everywhere by becoming the first 16-seed to knock out a one-seed in men's tournament history. Loyola-Chicago won games in dramatic fashion as an 11-seed, and its good luck charm, Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt, has become an internet sensation.

Who do you love more?

There is an advantage to having a top-flight engineering department. Purdue reportedly looking into a better brace for center Isaac Haas' elbow ahead of meeting with Texas Tech.


QuotePainter was asked Monday — half-jokingly, it seemed — about whether some Purdue engineering students might try and come up with a solution, Painter said he heard "they might be trying to do that."

The Journal & Courier confirmed that Purdue sports medicine has reached out to Purdue mechanical engineering about working on a solution. Doug Boersma, associate athletic director for sports medicine, declined comment, citing student-athlete medical privacy laws.

However, Painter reiterated that the brace is really the least of Haas' concerns.

"He has the best brace you can possibly have on that they didn't approve," Painter said. "So if he has the best brace possible and he can't shoot a right-handed free throw, this brace isn't going to be better. It's just going to be one that's a little bit less (bulky) and it's going to get approved.

"He still has a broken elbow."

Painter said Haas will need to have a pin put in the arm when he eventually undergoes surgery. He hoped the 7-2, 290-pound third-team All-Big Ten Conference selection would be healthy enough to participate in the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, held July 6-17.

Painter also expressed concern about the elbow's long-term health should Haas fall on it in competition —

11 seeds have defeated 7 seeds in all four meetings in NCAA Tournament history.

I was at the 1990 Sweet 16/Elite 8 with Loyola Marymount, Alabama, UNLV and Ball St in Oakland.   Loyola had the fans rooting for them because of the Hank Gathers death which was understandable but I hated the way they played.  Absolutely no defense whatsoever.  UNLV routed them in the Elite 8 after barely beating Ball St in the Sweet 16 round.

Glad to see WVU lose.  Not a fan of Bob Huggins or their style of play.  Ugly basketball.  I like 'Nova and Jay Wright.  Should be a great semi-final if they meet Duke in the Final Four.
