Sean Miller's Wikipedia page gets edited after loss.

Purdue saw the writing on the wall and just quit.

Roy got a little closer, but similar to his 15 years at Kansas, close but no cigar.

So the Big Ten's true colors showed up.

But how about that SEC? :)

Archie Miller to Indiana.

He had been on the Buckeyes' radar, but we're keeping Matta another year for some reason.

I would have held out for better than Miller.

Only 657 brackets out of 18,797,085 correctly predicted a Final Four of North Carolina, South Carolina, Oregon and Gonzaga.
That's from ESPN. They mean it to be shocking that so few got it right.

I'm more shocked that 657 got it right.

Right? I would have guessed that lots of people had NC, Oregon, and Gonzaga, those teams make sense. I'm wondering if those 657 are SC homers who picked SC to win it all? I mean, there was no hint that SC would make it this far based on their regular season.

N&O headline was MAYE DAY

Which would have looked a lot nicer had the entire page not been double-printed 1/2" off.

538 does real-time odds of games, and this game is just stupid for the odds. Each 4 pt lead becomes a 68% chance to win with 7 minutes left. Bullshit. It should be like 55%. There's just way to much time left for those odds.

UNC (1) won the Maui Invitational; (2) captured the ACC regular-season title; (3) watched as Duke earned the league's automatic bid with an ACC tournament championship; (4) entered the NCAA tournament as a No. 1 seed; and (5) won the national title.
What happened each of the 3 times UNC has won the NCAA under Roy.
