First I am not a Miami fan in any sport. I will root for a team of
ants to beat them even given 75 points.

...However, I also thought that with Miami's two bigs. They had the best
chance of upsetting MSU in their bracket.

...I did pick Miami to win this game. Why did I do that? I was in striking
distance of the leaders. I was only down 40 points in something like
1450th place. I was counting on later rounds to catch the leaders, since
alot of them did not have ND winning it all. Thanks Miami.

...Next Time I am picking the ants.

The U really threw the game away at the end

Give credit fo ASU as they kept the game low scoring and slow-paced. Poor execution at the end by The U.

A FewTeams Had Trouble With In-Bound Plays.

- Miami
- Boise State (yes, there was probably a foul there, but what are you doing tossing the ball into a definite double team?)
- Marquette

Now I know there was some good defense going on, but in a couple of instances, the in-bounder didn't deliver a pass on an initial break, which allowed all the action to come closer to the inbounds pass.

Pressure probably played some part in this. On the other hand, was there an option B to toss to someone more in the open court (ND's favorite go to) or a tall player who can go up and get it?
