I agree with the above. They play with such energy - you almost forget they are a fifteen seed. It's a classic David vs. Goliath matchup in the Sweet-16. I heard FGCU's coach mentioning in a post-game interview that they tried to scrimmage Florida in the pre-season and Florida declined.

Between Duke/Michigan State, Indiana/Miami, and FGCU/Florida...the Sweet-16 is going to be a lot of fun.

One downside to this run by FGCU is that suddenly they are becoming a much higher profile commodity in realignment. As a non-football school, they are now likely to step up in Sun Belt expansion discussions. It is not a major threat to us right now. But it is worth monitoring.

Don't forget they did a FCS feasibility study just 2 years ago. They may not remain non-football for long.

i just enjoyed wisconsin losing. listening to these idiot analysts talk about them like they hadn't seen a minute of tape prior to their 3 last games was hilarious.

some of them had them going to the elite 8 and a couple in the final 4. LOL.

They don't have the land for a football stadium (at least on campus). They have too much protected wetland.

I want the FGCU run to continue, but Florida just seems like a really bad matchup to me, plus the whole having 3-4 days to have them thoroughly scouted doesn't help matters any. Yeah Georgetown had that too, but Georgetown is Georgetown, getting upset in the Tournament is their M.O.

[RubberMallet]

looking at their resume i'd be surprised if this game was even close....but we assumed gtown was going to blow them out too. but the safe money is on a massacre.

Doug Collins reported as new Head Coach at Northwestern. So basically if you have a smart school, hire a Duke guy. Amaker@Harvard. Dawkins@Stanford

I don't think my Hoosiers are getting passed Syracuse. But it's nice to see the defense we ran for the last 6 years in its purest form.

[From the class of 09]

I wouldn't say die yet Syracuse is really good at giving up first have leads in big games.

Leave me alone to my misery....

Well that was a pitiful performance from Indiana. Looked like they didn't even know Syracuse would be running a zone.

Hard to believe Cody Zeller was ever in consideration for the #1 pick in this summer's draft. Does the guy even have a post move other than lower his shoulder into a defender and try to bowl through him while getting a homecourt whistle to bail him out? That works against non-athletes and when drawing an NBA star type favorable whistle, not under any other circumstances...

Great heart and comeback by Michigan. Bone head play by Johnson at the end

That's the first nor the last bonehead play Johnson will ever make. I like to call him the BJ Upton of basketball.

Johnson's shot to McGary's 'Johnson' started out the evening

Yep. I mean punching people in the balls was funny in, maybe 7th grade? I've always like Kansas as an adopted team (because growing up WV basketball was terrible) but I can't stand Johnson.

15-4 FGCU, 3-3 on 3 pointers. Are you serious? Is this team really going to just keep rolling like this?

It doesn't happen with 12 year old schools in their 2nd year of tournament eligibility in a tiny, 1 bid conference.

Because there has never been a 12 year old school in their 2nd year of eligibility in a tiny 1 bid conference? I was just saying unlikely teams that get hot and surprise everyone
