Miami first upset victim of March Madness (more NCAA updates)

CUTrevor 2018-03-15 16:40:31


6 seed Miami just lost to 11 seed Loyola of Chicago on a buzzer-beater 3. Canes could have ensured overtime at the free throw line, but their 75% FT shooter (guy with the funky hair) missed the front end of a one-and-one with 9 seconds left. 

First loss of the tourney for the ACC after wins by Cuse and Duke.

State down 4 with under 10 mins left.

Almost had our first 12 vs 5 upset just now. Ohio State and South Dakota State were tied at 70 with 2 mins left, but Ohio State made a 4-point play with 1:30 left, and that sealed it.

State is about to go down. Free throws were a big factor in this one. Seton Hall was ranked 260th in free throws coming in but shot 80% from the line today, scoring 28 points from the stripe. Meanwhile, State was only 16-27 at the line. They shot under their average, and Seton Hall shot way over theirs. Hence the outcome.

Ugh I almost nailed my big upset pick for today. I had 11 seed San Diego State beating 6 seed Houston. Aztecs didn't make a 3 until the final minute of  game, and it was still tied with 2 seconds left! It took a career high 40 points from Gray, and they needed every one of them, including the game winner.

Upset brewing! 13 seed Buffalo up 8 on 4 seed Arizona with 13 mins left.

VT and Bama are in a back and forth dog fight in the 8/9 game.

Wow Buffalo beats Zona by 21! First NCAA win in school history. Has to be one of the most embarrassing losses in tourney history.

13 is the new 12! Marshall beats Wichita State by 6. Second 13 seed to knock off a 4 seed within about 16 hours. First NCAA win for both Buffalo and Marshall! #MarchMadness 


Let's hope the 13 replaces the 12 this year!

7 seed Arkansas loses by 17 to 10 seed Butler. I said on Sunday Butler should be higher than a 10 seed. They beat Ohio State on a neutral court early in the season. That's the first loss for the SEC, although Bama should have lost to the Hokies last night. Their two best players, Blackshear and Robinson, fouled out and that was the difference.

Wow, this Cuse vs Sparty game was one of the ugliest halves ever. 47 combined points. Cuse should be well ahead, but they're getting killed on the boards. It's 10 to 1 in offensive rebounds in favor of Sparty, and yet it would still be tied at the half if not for one of the luckiest buzzer beaters I've ever seen. Sparty got blocked, caught the ball and threw it back up in mid-air, and it banked in off the glass. 

ACC is tied with the SEC for most tournament wins at 7. Big Ten has the best record at 6-1, thanks to the lucky buzzer-beater by Michigan to beat Houston last night.

Cuse is down 6, and Sparty has 6 points on lucky 3-pointers off he glass. Sparty has 17 second chance points and 14 to 1 on offensive boards. If Cuse could rebound worth a damn they'd be up 10.

21 to 2 offensive rebounds for Sparty and it's a one point game. Lol I've never seen anything like it.

CUSE WINS!!! Lol that was one of the ugliest games I've ever seen. Sparty is terrible.

ACC leads all conferences with 8 wins.

Heels about to go down hard! Very similar to the Cuse game, where Sparty was ice cold from 3. Heels started the game 1 for 19 from 3! Why can't they shoot that badly when we play them??!
