Smith is the goat in that one in the end, totally let Eaton drive the lane on the winning bucket.

With 2 stars fouled out, this would be a great Cinderella finish!

TarHeelHawk can feel a little better now.

Smith made one nice shot to take the lead, but then blew both ends to finish the game. Nice work outta him.

Bruce Pearl really did a poor job coaching this year IMO. The SEC was a poor conference and they should have been a 4 seed. BUT they settled to much on three pointers this year when they had the size and athleticism to take the ball inside

I didn't watch a ton of hoops, but I did see 3 TN games this year and I completely agree.

USU had a decent look but blew it
Thank god I picked Marquette.

Eff Aggies! 3/4 for me in the first session.

**CycloneErik** · 03-20-2009, 01:46 PM

Hard not to agree with Pearl's offense this year. At one point, they had taken 30 three-pointers today, and made 10. Got to be a more high-percentage offense with those kinds of athletes.

I'm not sure they wanted Wilkinson with that particular look. I know he's conference player of the year, but that doesn't look like his best shot.

Where are the Upsets to much chalk

**tejasclone** · 03-20-2009, 01:55 PM

Yesterday VCU loses by one point. Today, Utah St loses by one point. I picked both of them as upsets.

I guess 11 seeds aren't as reliable as 10 or 12 seeds, huh?

He was probably too busy taping recruit's conversations.

Whew that was close. Kansas held on, Marquette pulls it out, and Oklahoma State slips through. All winning picks for me!!

**cmoneyr** · 03-20-2009, 02:02 PM

Win, Win, Win!

I picked them both as well. They both seemed logical and obvious to me.
