My bad. I misread the KU score. They only won by 4 points.
 
QUICK GLIMPSE -ELITE 8​

Today (Saturday) - Loyola v. Kansas State ......................... 'Noles v. Michigan

Tomorrow (Sunday) - Texas Tech v. Villanova ..................... Duke v. Kansas
 
Down goes Purdue. That leaves only the Wolverines with a chance at the big Dance. And, with the way FSU has been playing, I give U of M a as much chance of making it as a snowball has surviving 5 minutes in a barbecue pit.

Purdue without Isaac Haas was no longer really a contender.

FSU looks very strong but Michigan has been impressive starting with the B1G tournament.

Good D. But, I'm not sure anyone can upset FSU's march toward madness. Pretty amazing so far.
 
I'm surprised there has not been more highlighting of Jerry Harkness and Loyola-Chicago's 1963 national championship. The five Loyola starters played the entire game, and overtime.

54-35 with about 12 minutes to go. Holy Crap! Loyola is going to the Final Four.
 
Wow! Final Four Baby! 78 - 62 Loyola Chicago smothers Kansas State!

They become just the 5th double-digit seed to ever make the Final Four! Congratulations!

Six minutes to go...and, the neither FSU or U of M have reached 50 yet. :shock:
 
Fast break points, smuthering defense, fewer turnovers and poise down the stretch results in a Michigan win.FSU had a great run, great season!

Congratulations Wolverines!
 
That was the fastest final two minutes ever.

Does FSU not know that they are supposed to foul?

With one minute to go they were down by only one score, and as Reggie Miller said, they did not need to foul (but they did anyway).

Greetings, Jack. :2wave:

I like the format this article used - " if they win it's because"____...; "if they lose it's because____...;" --- makes for easier reading for those of us who didn't follow every game each team played! :thumbs:
