Not really. Santa Clara did it to Arizona in the 1993 tournament, my first year on the faculty there. We went on to have a lot of success under Lute, but we always held our breath for the first round.

Still pretty amazing. Maybe this is an Arizona thing (not really.) Texas A&M was a heavy favorite and went down in flames so no longhorns vs. aggies this year. So much for Barkley's prediction of an A&M victory by 15 points.

I hate to see so many games determined by officials. The kids are confused by imaginary calls and then flagrant lowering of the shoulders doesn't get called. Players get flattened in the paint and a foul isn't called and then someone breathes on a shooter and a foul is called. Ridiculous!

Fully agree. Just be consistent. The officials are very inconsistent. A team can adapt to a consistent team of officials but when things are so unpredictable, how can you know how to play?

Caught the last 10 minutes of the NIT Wisconsin vs Liberty game. I am no fan of Liberty but the officials were so inept and unfair to them. Wisconsin's center would simply back up and push the defensive person sometimes ten feet until a simple layup was easy to make. It was ridiculous. We have lost the game of basketball if we no longer call fouls on players who back up and push the defender away using shoulders and body to gain advantage.

That was an impressive game. It was 96-93 KState and Michigan State had the ball. A three would send it to second overtime, but KState intercepted and scored a layup as time expired. Very exciting.
