That was horrible execution by UT.

1. They should have ran the clock down more before taking a shot on their last tru possession.

2. They should have advanced the ball to half court which would have given them about a second to shoot a reasonable shot.

3. They should have hit their FTs down the stretch.

MSU-WVU should be interesting.

Read the bracket wrong.

edit: MSU-Butler should be interesting. A grind it out game for sure.

I said ten posts ago that they gave the Spartans too much time to shoot

Agreed, it should be in OT at worst right now..bad bad execution by Vols at the end.

No, I likely wasn't going to watch anyhow. The tourney's been a joke this year. Lots of upsets mainly because teams overall suck arse this year. Very down year in college basketball.

I agree that is has been a down year...but good games and the unexpected are what make this tournament what it is. IMO, this has been a better tournament than the last couple years, when everything was chalk chalk chalk.

Final Four teams:

Michigan State (preseason #2)
Butler (preseason #11)
WVU (preseason #8)
Duke (preseason #9) or Baylor (no votes)

So 3 BCS conference teams and a midmajor that's been good for a few years

2 ...

no man if the best teams aren't playing, then that means that all of college basketball is down this year. it doesn't fricking matter that there are over 300 division one teams, if the best aren't winning, then it's a shitty year....

How the hell are they supposed to advance the ball to half court with 1.8 seconds on the clock after the intentionally missed free throw. They called time after grabbing the rebound so they could at least set up an inbounds play.

Vols just came up a little short.

Good game, Michigan St.
