The bracket sure opened up for Dayton now too bad Ohio State couldn't have beat Dayton and Syracuse and would have had a shot against Stanford for another Elite 8.

Florida has to be happy right now and if SFA would somehow upset UCLA today Florida's path would be 16, 9, 12, 10/11 to the Final Four.

Agree with the first part but SFA is not going to beat UCLA. Cinderella comes to an end for them today. UCLA just is too large for them.

Wiggins did not impress me at all. I will be interested to see his decision along with that of Parker from Dook. They just did not play very well on the big stage.

If they are any smart they will come out. Both top 3 picks in the draft. And particularly Wiggins, I think he's going to be a stud in the NBA. Look at Andre Drummond in his one year at UConn and then now. There is so much more space in the NBA that his athleticism will be on a much larger display.

Kentucky briefly took the lead. Let's check in on Jim Nantz:

There are few things worse than Kentucky basketball fans, except for Henry Muto of course. He likes the Buckeyes, too....and Xavier...and Cleveland State.

I was at the games last night. No doubt that the Bradley Center was loud. Very loud.

A few observations from the day. Got up there about an hour and a half before tip. Found our way to the Hoffbrau House for some beers. Open up the back door and a Wisky fan comes stumbling out. Looked like he was going to puke. Rookie.

Drank a few beers and off to the Bradley. Good seats. Top row of section 200 at exactly half court, right below the boxes. A couple of rows back and left from the Big Dog. He looked like he could probably take most kids on the floor to task.

*ichigan fans did not travel very well at all. Also fairly quiet all things considered. That is in contrast to the tourney a few years ago when we played up there. We had at least 3x showing in comparison. That said, the Wisky crowd buying all the tickets may have had something to do with it.

When Tejas band played their cheerleaders where on the screen...

When the *ichigan cheer leaders where on the floor and their band played, the band were on the screen. No joke.

Wisky fans were horrific. I didn't have the benefit of replay but the officials didn't seem as bad as the Wisky crowd would have suggested. They were loud and by half time, being down by 12 they were really pissy. The Grinch getting T'd up at the end of the first half really pushed the crowd over the edge. MPD ended up coming into our section during half to kinda keep an eye on things. There were some Wisky kids who were being real [Mark May]s

Wisky cheerleaders on floor and the band playing, Wisky cheerleaders on the screen...

Oregon cheerleaders on the floor, what band? Those girls were on the screen all night long... If it was the Ducks v *ichigan, if the *ichigan band was playing, the Oregon cheerleaders would have been on the screen.

Second half was crazy. Wisky was a step slow in the first half but figured out a way to feed the paint in the second. Crazy comeback and it was, all things considered fun to watch in person. It was flipp'n loud though. Really frick'n loud.

The game also started getting all kinds if chippy. Pretty cheap foul at the end on Jackson... But the dude can stroke it from the line. Pure shooter there, but for whatever reason, didn't seem to have much of a shot behind the arc. He needs to spend the summer building an outside game.

On to the next round...

Thanks for the write-up. I heard it was an absolutely unreal atmosphere. Fans who went say the Bradley Center hasn't been that loud since the 2001 Eastern Conference Finals (the last decade-plus has been rough for the Bucks). Anyways, I looked into tickets but they were ridiculous. Sounds like it was a crazy environment.
