Welcome To The Sport: It's Fitting The Wildest Night Of The College Hoops Season Happened In March, Reminds The World To Keep The Tournament At 68

Last night was damn near perfect in college basketball. It had everything you could ask for whether it was upsets, double overtime games, bubble games, you name it. I wanted to run down everything real quick because I saw that tweet from Norlander and couldn't agree more. Just some quick highlights: 

You had a top-5 or so game of the year between Iowa State and BYU: 

You had Iowa State come back from 21 down to force OT, turn it over at the end of OT to go to double OT and then run that. Gross. But, BYU is legit. I wanted to take a quick moment to talk about them because we're gonna talk A LOT about BYU next year. This is going to be a team that can get up to like a 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament and they are currently one of the best teams in the country. Egor Denim is a top-10 NBA Draft prospect, they have a ton of olds who are good like Richie Saunders, Trevin Knell and Dallin Hall. 

At the same time as this was going on you had Texas/Mississippi State playing one of the single dumbest games I've ever seen: 

Texas ended up winning that game, but it took Tre Johnson being an All-American to make up for Rodney Terry being an awful coach and Texas fouling up 4 with 14 seconds to go, turning it over, choking away a double digit lead. That's a bubble team with a win though. 

Speaking of bad coaches, Kyle Neptune and Nova pissed down their leg and blew a game to Georgetown, again: 

You had history in College Station: 

You want some Tournament play? Fine, we got some of that too 

Over on the 'cock you had Jackson Shelstad burying Indiana

Ohio State kept their season alive in double OT: 

Arkansas got a win, SMU got a win, UNC got a win and Baylor got a win. That matters for the bubble and a good reminder as to why we don't need to expand the Tournament. Last night was a perfect reminder. SMU and UNC were basically playing elimination games. You lose to Syracuse or VT, you don't make the field. If it expands to 76, they are in most likely? Gross. Get that shit out of my life. All I know is last night was the single best night of college basketball so far this season. We get lucky with a couple good games a night, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday nights or during the Thanksgiving week. What we don't get is what we saw last night. Upsets, tournament play and elimination style games for bigger schools. Perfect start to the month.
