2016 NCAA Tournament

[Derwood]

LOL at the half court heave with 4 seconds left.

 

the UNI court awareness has been horrible in the last 6 minutes

[Derwood]

Buzzer beater for Wisconsin? They haven't cut to that highlight yet

[Soul]

[Derwood]

No one wants to win this game

make that 11 minutes. Going for a 2 when your'e down by 3 with 12 seconds left?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It almost seems impossible for that to happen.

[Old Style]

THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! GREATEST COMEBACK IN NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY!

[Thusly Boned]

THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! GREATEST COMEBACK IN NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY!

 

....or the greatest choke.

yeah, that was all choke

[CubInOK]

THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! GREATEST COMEBACK IN NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY!

I think your players were handing UNI players $100 bills in exchange for the ball.

 

That might have been the greatest single-game choke in all of sports history.

[Old Style]

Don't care. Won game.

[Exile on Waveland]

He actually admitted to putting his starters back in with 90 seconds left and a 16 point lead because he was afraid of losing

 

Yeah, nothing like that would ever happen in the NCAA Tournament...

Deadspin pointed out a couple of crazy things that I didn't even realize about the comeback as I watched:

 

-UNI shot 0 FTs during the comeback

-Texas A&M only made one 3 pointer during the comeback

 

So you're telling me a team was down 12 points with 44 seconds left and managed to take things to OT without having to foul once, and only making a single 3 pointer? Insane.

Twice UNI players were trapped on the end line and tried to chuck it off an A&M player. Both times they were perfect bounce passes for the A&M player to get an easy basket. Just crazy.

[Old Style]

Still in shock. What an amazing finish. I only wish Gus Johnson was calling that game.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

damn crazy start to the tourney has me in 8th place in our group

I am in second in mine, however my champion is Michigan St, so I am toast unless Kansas and North Carolina bow out before the final 4.

[Andy]

The UNI/A&M comeback was the first time in NCAA basketball history (all of it, not just the tournament) that a team was down as many as 12 with 44 seconds left and won the game.

[Andy]

Also, I missed the Wisconsin and A&M endings while driving home last night from Indiana. Damn it.

 

On the other hand, my team is in the Sweet 16, so that's horsefeathering cool

[Old Style]

Ready for tip off tonight. It's going to be a looooooooooooooong day.

[Brian707]

In a point spread pool and I still have 4 of my 8 teams remaining. This is a fun way to do a pool.

 

Tonight I need Kansas -6.5 and Miami +4

 

Friday I need Wisconsin +1 and North Carolina -5.5

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm going Nova, Oklahoma, Maryland, Oregon. Congrats to fans of the teams I have picked to lose.

Syracuse tomorrow currently sitting +4.

I'm in a knockout pool - 1 pick per day, can't pick the same team twice, last one standing wins. So far I've used up Kentucky, Xavier, Iowa State and Maryland. Today I picked Oklahoma.
