Refs screw up another potentially big call in the Lehigh/Xavier game.

Billy Donovan is so underrated. You never hear his name mentioned when people talk about "best coaches". His decision to full court, man to man press NSU from the opening tip and run up tempo just took NSU right out of their game. I was a little worried about this game, but man UF is playing well at just the right time.

I don't know if they will handle Marquette, but I am considering everything from here on in gravy. Great game for the Gators.

Kansas really could use some better shot selection. Feed T-Rob, they are doubling him every time and have him kick it out and find the open man.

Seeing Robbie Hummel go off like this just makes you wonder had he not been hurt the previous two years could Purdue have done something special in the tournament.

Hopefully he gets his one shining moment here and slays KU. It will help if KU continues to shoot and miss threes, ignoring the fact that they have Thomas Robinson..

Yep. Forcing up way too many shots.

This Reffing is atrocious.... Gabe Knuteson (Leh C) is getting called for anything.

Ohio is about to add it's 3rd team to the Sweet 16.

Hopefully UC can make it #4. It's gonna be a tough game against the Seminoles.

Douche move on that dunk.

Major props to Lehigh. Final score doesn't do their performance justice.

...And Xavier is not getting called for anything...

I agree that the officiating was lousy at times but Xavier was getting called for things they shouldn't have been too. They weren't getting all of the calls. For example, there were some charges called on Xavier players when the Lehigh player was clearly moving and not even close to being set. Same crap happened to X against Notre Dame. For most of the second half, X was getting personal fouls called on them at a ridiculous rate. I thought most of the team might foul out the way things were going. I agree there were some calls on Knutson that I thought were bogus. He had what looked like a couple of blocks that they called fouls. One of the rare occasions where the refs have given Kenny Frease a break, honestly. Usually he gets called for fouls if he just breathes on somebody wrong and at the end of the game his arms have scratches and welts all over them from fouls that weren't called. That's the life of a big man I guess.

Lehigh was awesome on Friday and, had they not been playing X, I'd have been rooting for them tonight. I hope they dominate the Patriot League and make it back to the tournament next season. McCollum is great to watch. I agree with rspencer, major props for their performance. Lots of heart and they function well as a team, which should always give you a chance to win regardless of the opponent.

Can't stop laughing at how awful a possession that was for Purdue.

That was pathetic, and KU not running out the clock what idiocy down the stretch here.

Great comeback by Kansas! Sucks for Hummel though.
