I still don't know how you can blow a 10 point lead with :29 remaining. That is unbelievable.

I think SMU was up 7 with like 52 seconds to go against UCLA and lost. I thought that was a pretty tough loss but this was an even tougher loss.

After missing FTs, he did get a big rebound-putback at a crucial time for the Ags.

That one putback kinda blew my theory momentarily. It was big. But then he went right back to screwing up.

Caruso carried them until House showed up. Again, this is why i draw parallels between this year's Ags and next year's Mustangs. Senior leadership, depth, talented freshmen.

I watched the Valpo game last night and it put me right back to our NIT run in 2014. The crowd was great and really into it. Valpo beat a good Saint Mary's team to advance to NYC. SDSU, which had a great crowd last game, hosts GT tonight for the right to go to NYC.

I really like how they rotate current coaches in the studio for analysis. Good stuff.

I picked Oregon to make it to the championship game and lose to Michigan St. That ended my bracket before the first weekend. The Izzo magic wasn't around in 2016. But to your point, Oregon is really good.

I wonder if Semi could have helped Duke last night?

Might have been his last game.

Awwwww.... Who cares?
