After watching so many different conferences lose games every week, this is the first year in a long time that I didn't fill out a bracket because it was too much parity. Wow Day 1- two 2 seeds go down

I think it was only one 2 seed. Furman beat Virginia but Virginia was a 4.

Meanwhile little Kennesaw St. is giving Xavier fits right now.

I was surprised Xavier had the season they did. My son's best friend plays for Kentucky Wesleyan and Wesleyan was down by 4 to Xavier in the last minute back in an exhibition game in November.

I think Tom Izzo is about to go off on Roger Ayers....USC has flopped twice and no call

Xavier making their run...tie ballgame

Saw Xavier's Adam Kunkel play in high school. Needless to say he was an incredible hs player.

[KCKUKFan]

Xavier will escape.

[Lighthouse]

Xavier will escape.

Yes they will. Whew.

I think in college basketball they allow drivers to be bumped and cutters to be held but are very quick to protect shooters.

There's A LOT of holding and grabbing as player cuts away from the ball. When the Kennesaw player drove (with the ball) at the end he was bumped much harder than players who drew fouls on shots during that game.

And God help you if you graze a three-point shooter.

Seems counterintuitive. If it's a foul on the shot then it really should be a foul when no shot is being taken. Some of these guys have to basically grapple with their defenders to be a receiver for the ball.

I don't think Santa Barbara is going to beat Baylor, but they sure are making it tough

You're right. There was definitely a foul on the drive before the shot. And this is happening tournament wide.
