UVA with the choke job against Miami. Up 11 less than a minute to play and lose.

Kemba Walker with the game winner to put UCONN into the semi's over Pitt. Somewhere LUConn is smiling.

I watched this at work (yeah, work). I laughed so hard. Sad part is Miami had the chance to complete the comeback in regulation.

Is there a way we could do like a FlameFans bracket competition?

Idk how to do all that stuff, but if ESPN had all that stuff it'd be cool.

Somebody can start one on cbssportsline or elsewhere for free....use flamefans.com as the group and post the password.

UVA up by 10 with 42 second left and the Cocanes come back on them? What a joke. Good to see Mackay squirm.

I work 60 hours a week BECAUSE of Flamefans and the loss of productivity.

I got one running but I guess I have to send out invites instead of people just being able to enter the password online?

Is there anyway around that? Sorry obviously you can tell I'm not that great with internet stuff.

I realize there won't be many Hokie fans here, but anybody see the VT game last night? I heard the video replay decided the game--FSU's fingertips were still touching the ball at the buzzer...?!! Was it really as close as they say?

While I'm not a PAC-10 fan, the final yesterday was incredible.

there were I think 5 games that were decided on the last shot yesterday: UConn vs Louisville (miss) Washington vs Arizona (make), Princeton vs Harvard (make) Akron vs Kent State (miss), Memphis vs UTEP (miss)

so just putting this out there, but crrently the breakdown has Duke as a number 2 and they are facing UNC-Ashville as a 15...


dang... that could have been us and would have been a very hyped game.... Liberty vs Curry

VCU, along with Georgia being a 10 seed, and Virginia Tech gets the shaft again.

I don't have any personal preference, as my Mountaineers got in, but I can say there will be much second guessing of the committee this year more than ever.

VT didn't get the shaft. Its the same thing EVERY year. Yeah they beat Duke two weeks ago, but you can't follow that up with losing multiple times. VT gets momentum, and then falls flat. At some point you have to finsh the season strong, and they don't seem to do that.

ESPN guys are absolutely lambasting the comittee for putting VCU and UAB in.
