Marquis Noel is the best individual performance I've ever watched in the tournament

Michigan obviously beat Wisconsin Big 10 title today. Dusty May called it correctly. He was like, our team needs a reset. They got their reset and then they won the big 10 tournament and they looked really good doing it. So maybe they've turned the corner and gotten that reset they needed.

Drake deserves an at-large NCAA Tournament bid no matter what happens in their conference tournament

The Big 12 tournament court is the weirdest looking thing and it sucks to watch on TV.

The Big 12 because they're playing the tournament right now and their court is the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

Utah State is a sneaky mid-major dark horse to watch in the NCAA tournament

Derrick Queen's buzzer beater that now is being called a travel—and it might've been a travel, but I'm so happy they didn't call it a travel because I wanted to watch a buzzer beater. You can't spend all weekend saying there's no madness and then when there's the one madness that happens, like a travel, you say to call it. It was an awesome shot, a big boy move.

No, nothing to take away from NC State. But if Virginia had fouled up three in the ACC tournament, he would've been fired last year.
