Sorry to jinx it...

Still had some great finishes, but Siena fades down the stretch, Marquette turns the ball over with the chance to win it, and Michigan State keeps a two-possession lead to the end. Not quite the drama that it could've been, but solid nonetheless.

Have we not had a buzzer-beater yet this tourney? The Gonzaga game was the closest we've had, but I don't think we've seen a true walk-off, shot-at-the-buzzer game-winner yet this tournament.

And after a first round where some 10 and 12-seeds made it through, the 2nd round finished most of them off--the lowest seed at this point is Arizona (12), and they're through after a win against 12-seed Cleveland State. Together with Purdue (5), they're the only "underdogs"--all the rest are 1-4 seeds. Makes for some good match-ups Thursday and Friday though...
