2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament (official thread)

College game is getting ridiculous parity.

Or the seeding is just whack.

The three point shot helps, but the one-and-done thing has changed the game. Look at Mercer - 5 senior starters. You never see that at a major program. If our guys all stuck around for 4 years we'd be hanging some banners, but other major programs would say the same thing.

The mid-majors, on the other hand, keep their guys for 4 years. The good ones can parlay that maturity into making up for a talent gap in a win-or-go-home game on a neutral court.

That poor VCU kid. That is never going to escape him. No matter what he will never forget that play and how it cost them. That's a tough way to go out....

He also missed a FT with 32 seconds left in regulation, but if his teammate (Burgess) doesn't miss TWO free throws with 10 seconds left it never comes down to that play.

Still up 4 with no time essentially, if you sit on your hands and don't move it's game over. That had it won regardless of the FTs and instead he committed the dumbest foul known to man. Feel for the kid.

I didn't disagree with you. JFC, some folks just have to argue about everything. :roll1:

Reality, and Virginia's #1 defense, set in after halftime. Coastal Carolina has 15 points in 15 minutes in the second half.

Looks like we'll have to wait at least another year for a 16-1 upset.
