Finally double digits. That might be it. Still, an exciting fight so far.

Yep, and it won't get any "easier" than this for the Cougars. Add that they are now down a star player for the foreseeable future, and they'll be sweating in the dry Texas heat.

Northern Kentucky says "But wait, there's more!"

A quick two and a drained three, and it's back to a 5 point game with over 4 to play.

[BLPOG]

They need to take advantage of the foul differential! Don't throw up shots from the perimeter, try to make something of it inside

[Bluedog]

Northern Kentucky can't hit a 3...and keeps bombing from super deep. Ovah.

[Edouble]

Norse with the Caleb Love “No shot left behind” offense for the last few minutes.

[BLPOG]

ugh...it's over...too much chucking it up in the last [as in prior, not final] 90 seconds

[AGDukesky]

Penn State is a ridiculous 11/15 from 3-point land. This looks like the most impressive performance of the day

[Steven43]

Texas versus an underseeded Texas A&M in the second round feels too good to be random.

Penn State by 22 over A&M with 9 min. to play. That potential Texas v A&M matchup not looking good. Too bad; I wanted the Aggies to get their comeuppance.

Jalen Pickett’s “booty ball” back down is very strange to watch but wow is it effective

Biggest PSU basketball win since beating UNC in 2001?

Middle of the road Big 10 team that wasn’t far inside the bubble just dominating the second best team in the SEC.

Interesting that this performance came from a conference that doesn't exactly have a stellar record of living up to expectations in the post-season.

To be fair, this "middle of the road" big 10 team also just plowed through 5 quality big ten teams in a row and gave NCAA #1 seed Purdue all they could handle. So, they've been playing pretty well lately...

Damn, I’m starting to get kind of worried now. 😦

Definitely rooting for We Are on Saturday. As an Austin-area resident, it does my heart good when Horn Hubris gets punished.

Kennesaw St. just hit a 3 to take a lead on Xavier with 5 minutes left in the first half. They look like they belong at this level.

Going into the half up by 7- wow

[CameronBornAndBred]

Cue up the Xavier Fan Full Freak Out

Well, i am from Cincinnati so I thought i would root for Xavier. But then I learned who their coach is and changed my mind.

[OldPhiKap]

LET’S GO OWLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

“same old boring habits” — the KSU coach’s mantra all season.

The 1-3-1 zone is killing the X; I think they will adjust at half. Goes KSU stick with it or switch it up I wonder?

[JasonEvans]

X is a good rebounding team. Top 75 in the country. At the half they have zero 0 nil nada ORebs against the fearsome Kennesaw St Owls.
