I didn't watch much yesterday, though I did see the Butler-Louisville game. My thoughts on it include the following:
--Eat it raw, Pitino
--I have never seen so many consecutive threes in one game
--Nothing was more hilarious than when Louisville stopped the clock by fouling the guy who shot 97.1% this season and has only missed 8 free throws his entire college career
--Reece Gaines either has the greatest jump-stop move in the history of basketball, or he travels on every single move and never gets called. Both are inexplicable
It was a great game.
Gosh, it's really surprising that Florida didn't live up to their 2 seed. I'm shocked. Look, upsets happen, but if you deserve to be the two seed you don't lose by 22 points to the seven seed.
Maryland is such a good six seed that I'm shocked the committee hasn't just moved them out to the West bracket.
In the "If I Could Do It Over Again" Category, here's how I would have picked the winners from here on out:
Kentucky, Marquette, Arizona, Kansas, UConn, Maryland, Oklahoma, Syracuse
Kentucky, Kansas, UConn, Oklahoma
Kentucky, Oklahoma
Kentucky
But if that Kentucky-Kansas game comes to pass, it could be a barnburner. If KU plays like they did against ASU, they are literally unbeatable. Of course, there's no chance they will play like that again.
In the "If Things Went Like I'd Like" Category:
Wisconsin, Marquette, Notre Dame, Kansas, UConn, Michigan State, Butler, Auburn
Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan State, Butler
Kansas, Butler
Kansas
If I'm not mistaken, the Kansas-Duke game will be on at 4 AM here on Friday morning. I'm getting up early, I guess, rather than staying up.
