Recap of Thursday's Sweet Sixteen

Thursday night saw a couple of last second shots that made and brade several teams' season (that rhyme doesn't work in the past tense, I just realized).

West Virginia's Pittsnogle hit a three with just seconds remaining to tie Texas. But a scrappy guy named Paulino or something Italian nailed a long jumper to give Texas the win.

UCLA trailed Gonzaga virtually all game long. In the last minutes of their contest, UCLA began to come back from their double-digit deficit, despite obvious one-sided officiating. Announcer Len Elmore even called the referees out and he's usually quite level-headed. Up by one, Gonzaga took the ball out of bounds trying to salvage the win. Morrison got caught in the corner, backcourt, and threw the ball into a trap. Two UCLA players then took the ball, which led to the game-winning basket.

UCLA had scored the game's last 11 points and grabbed a win. Adam Morrison cried, even before the game was over, even though his team still had a chance to win. He had already given up on his team. Great players relish when only given a chance. Morrison's face bunched up like a two year old who had just spilt milk on the floor. Tears flowed down his ugly-ass face. It was truly heart-breaking. Or funny.

Memphis and LSU also won. LSU beating Duke... not that big a deal. It wasn't a big upset at all. The tournament has plenty of drama without sports pundits and announcers trying to provide a false sense.

George Mason and Georgetown games tonight!
