Great win for Norfolk State. This tournament needed that, because there hadn't been much excitement the first day and a half.
The NCAA really needs to change the way the refs stop the game and look at the monitor all the time at the end of games in order to put a couple of tenths back on the clock. The fact that they stop the game affects it more than a couple of tenths usually would - teams get a free timeout, which is significant. Guys that are tired get a rest they wouldn't have gotten otherwise, players have more time to think about their upcoming free throws, etc.
Plus, when the clock is below 5 seconds, during the timeout the coach can be planning his defensive strategy based on having 2.7 or 3.5 seconds (or whatever) remaining. Then, at the end of the timeout, they add .3 seconds, which can change how he wanted his defensive players to act, based on the time remaining. Extra time can change his instructions on when to foul, or how many dribbles to allow an opponent to take, whether to guard the guy throwing the inbounds pass, etc.

Still can't believe that Mizzou let that happen. But after seeing(click the link) how they reacted to their seeding, I really don't feel sorry for them. Ohio State wasn't excited for their seeding either, but they had just lost a brawl with Sparty.

Even when they aren't playing, the Jackets manage to fuck things up. Ice under the floor wreaking leaving the court damp in the MSU-LIU game.
