This is a reporter's worst nightmare... an athlete during a celebration who wants to tell you something...
Just ask Shabazz Napier
What he's referring to is the ban given to UConn by the NCAA for their low APR grades...
And the irony given that Mark Emmert was the one handing out the trophy is not lost on folks...

Bad Night To Be A Miller... Florida And Wisconsin Advance
((HT: March Madness TV))
Two Millers had a chance to get to the last four teams to play this season in men's college basketball...
And neither will get to North Dallas...
Archie Miller and his Dayton Flyers lost by ten to Florida, 62-52, so Billy Donovan and the Gators go...
In the last game of the night, Sean Miller had a chance to get there- first surviving regulation with Wisconsin and playing another five minutes. But, the extra five ended really goofy...
An offensive foul call down one led to an inbounds pass that had a 37-minute review before a reversal that gave Arizona another chance at getting the game-winner...
Actually, in all fairness, the review wasn't 37 minutes... but it seemed that long...
But they did get it right...
But, more interestingly, the offensive foul call was the more debatable of the two calls by officials late-late-late in the free hoops portion of the program...
Props to Bo Ryan and to the B1G- the conference has a team in the last three games of the year for the 11th time in last 16 years - but Michigan State in 2000 is the only team to get a title...

Baylor Women Knocked Out By The Other Louisville
((HT: KWTX-TV))
A lot of people, okay... everyone... is calling the Baylor exit from the Women's tournament as one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) upset in tournament history...
The Louisville Cardinals hit 16-of-25 from three-point (which is absurd), hung around, hung around some more, and hit two free throws with less than 3 seconds left in regulation for the 82-81 win.
Baylor was winners of 74 of their last 75 games, defending national champion, and all of that important stuff...
So much for all that important stuff...
Here's what Baylor had to deal with in a team that didn't back down...
((HT: ESPN/NCAA))
The applause you heard was from Notre Dame, UConn, and everyone else left in the tournament that won't have to deal with the most dominant player of this era.
Louisville is 27-8 and was part of all four 6-seeds making it to the Sweet 16, and now they're one going a little further than Delaware.

Horrible Kevin Ware Injury Mars Louisville-Duke Game
Oooof.
This unfortunately is not for the squeamish. But thankfully it was not a close up shot.
Sunday's Elite 8 Matchup between Duke and Louisville was delayed for about 15-minutes in the 1st Half after an absolutely horrific looking injury to Louisville Guard Kevin Ware.
Ware gave maximum effort in trying to block a jumper near the Louisville bench and landed awkwardly.
So awkwardly that when he landed, his shin turned in a direction that it shouldn't.
Again, we want to emphasize, this is NOT close up video of the injury (shot off someone's TV), but if you look closely, you can pretty clearly see it. We are NOT trying to exploit this by reporting it, but his injury is by far THE storyline of the 1st half of this game.
The look on the Louisville players faces said tons.
There are going to be people who question showing this video and it is a legitimate question. But as bad as the injury is and as sad as it was, the injury is now a major storyline in a national event. CBS has already been criticized for showing the replay at all, we disagree with the criticism. It's one thing to show it, it's necessary in order to tell the story and explain what happened. It's something entirely different to take it, show it, run it multiple times and zoom in. CBS did not do that. They focused on a telling the story via the players, fans and Cardinals coach Rick Pitino. We commend them for the way it was handled.
Ware was taken off the court on a stretcher and eventually left the arena via ambulance.
As of this posting, Louisville lead by 3 at the half. The winner of the game will square off with Wichita State at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta next weekend. The Shockers--shocked the world, beating Ohio State Saturday night.
PM UPDATE: Gannett Newspapers and the USA Today caught up with Joe Theismann whose injury on Monday Night Football had become the instant comparison:
"My world just came to a complete stop, it was just a horrible, horrible thing to see happen — I hate to see anybody have an injury that is anywhere near anything like I went through,” Theismann told USA TODAY Sports. “All of a sudden, it’s, ‘Oh my God!’
“It’s a terrible, terrible to see. My prayers go out to him, my heart goes out to him. I know what his family is going through.
“I have every belief that he’s going to be back and better than he was."
Here's the postgame with Coach Pitino, Gorgui Dieng, Russ Smith and Peyton Siva...

Note To NCAA: Next Time Use Spell Check
What's wrong with this picture?
Look very close. It seems at "T" is missing from the host city of next year's Final Four Atlanta. It just happens to also serve as home base for the OSG HQ.
Somebody didn't use spell check.

Kansas Athletic store thinks Jayhawks have already won
 |
| Screen Grab courtesy: cbslocal/st.louis |
Uh...who thought that this was a good idea?
Apparently, the Kansas University athletic store briefly was trying to sell T-Shirts, congratulating the Jayhawks for winning the 2012 Final Four.
One problem: The game hasn't been played yet.
At least as of this writing.
CBS St.Louis (KMOX) reported the story on their website. READ HERE
While we think the game on Monday night should be a good one. (We are writing this at 5:15pm on Monday--before the game)
Kentucky is heavily favored and probably should be. Kansas however does have a punchers chance. But...possibly well meaning University employees should be slapped around for something like this. All that Kentucky needs is yet more motivation to try and win the game.
