    Are you kidding me? 15 seconds left and a 20' prayer is the best you can do?

    That's what I was thinking TD. It's like there was not a set play, or even a plan. Terrible shot selections.

    I might be wrong, but it LOOKED like Wisconsin still had a timeout according to the graphic. Either I'm wrong or they didn't... or Bo Ryan is not the smartest chap around

    ANYTHING would have been better. Really disappointed in Bo. I thought he was smarter than that.

    Maybe I'm just noticing it more in this tournament but it seems like I'm seeing more teams with plenty time and or timeouts fail to get a decent look that I can ever recall before.

    He was probably busy complaining about something that happened twenty minutes earlier. Is there a whinier coach in all of college basketball?

    You're correct...Sconie had a TO left and didn't use it. With about 8 to go I was saying "Call a timeout".
    It's a Hoosier thing, you wouldn't understand...

    Ugh.

    Somehow I don't think Bo had this in mind. Jordan should have been the guy to make the call but that didnt go as expected. Crap.

    To the Bo haters, not many coaches have better records over the last decade+. Not happy with the end of this game but everyone knew the badgers were going to struggle this year. Particularly once everyone realized how hot and cold the outside shooting was. Hard to be upset with another sweet 16 the year before a good recruiting class.

    It is always easy to root for his teams. He does it the right way.

    But, still...ugh.

    Even though my bracket is now officially toasted, I am a happy camper. My two favorite college teams, U of L and Syracuse are both through to the Elite 8. Became a hard-core Cards fan with my ex-wife and my Mom graduated from the 'Cuse many moons ago.

    Still cranky. I completely get Bo putting it in Taylor's hands at the end, but I really would have thought he'd do something more or get it to someone else instead of forcing an almost panicky shot at the end.

    Dang it.

    The shock of the night for me was seeing that Louisville had held MSU to 44. I didn't see that game but that is almost unthinkable, to me. How did that happen?

    I couldn't watch any more games last night after the Badgers blew the ending. I had the OSU game on for a bit but wasn't paying attention so I turned it off. Woke up and saw the score and was pretty shocked as well. Yikes.

    Substitute Matt for Bo and Lew Jack for Taylor, and I"m in a bad mood again. Dang it.

    I didn't see the game but I did catch the press conference following the game on BTN. After listening to the players answer a few questions all I have to say is... Wow!

    I'm just happy none of those players play for Indiana. I'd be embarrassed if I was a Michigan State alum.

    Also, it is possible I'm still not quite over that last play yet. Sheesh. I still can't figure out WTF Taylor thought there.

    It wasn't what they said... it was how they said it. Poorly.

    When I'm wincing at someone's poor grammar... they've got a problem.
