SEC gets 14 teams in and Utrans looses right out of,the blocks, allowing Xavier to overcome their largest deficit of the year.

In short......Rodney Terry. Texas terribly mismanaged the game down the stretch. They ran no offense, didn't foul, and had two timeouts in their pocket.

A ref screw job combined with Texas missing shots. Every SEC team needs a heads up. They better play their best ball because you’re not going to get the calls. Xavier got away with endless fouling. Texas did not. Forget the home game stuff. The crowd wasn’t loud enough to make a difference. Texas missed too much.

Who are the teams in the SEC that didn’t make the tourney? I figure those fans can sit down and shut up.

I understand Xavier playing in basically a home game, but these announcers are clearly pulling for them. I expect this to continue against the SEC teams.

Tourney's been like this for a while. The first few rounds are the worst.

I guess, maybe......but the stat sheet doesn't back that up. Texas shot 8 more free throws and had 5 fewer fouls called on them.

Iso ball, into no fouling in a one and one situation was so so bad.

Texas fans would be so pissed if there wasn’t the excitement of getting a new coach.

Ahh don’t let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. “But it’s when the fouls were called”. no, Xavier just the better team with better execution.

Texas was a 2.5 point underdog. If the favorites all win, the SEC will move 8 teams into the 2nd round.

We had a nice little teaser the last 2 nights, is everyone ready to have their brackets wrecked this morning? Will this year be big on upsets or will the favorites come through? You just never know, and that is what make the Big Dance so much fun. Having to wait until Friday night to play is like an extended waiting room stay in the doctor's office as a kid when you know you are getting a shot. Can we just get this over with already!
