    Lazar Hayward. In the wake of that crazy Missouri-Marquette game, more people are talking about Kim English than Lazar Hayward this week, and that's probably for the best. After all, Hayward's just a 22-year-old, and there's no need to drag a kid like that through the mud. But man: It's difficult to come up with a worse way to be a goat in an NCAA Tournament game that stepping on the end line when you're just trying to throw the ball inbounds to tie the game. (It's Hayward's relative good fortune that it was only in the second round. In the Final Four, he'd be remembered forever.) It's one thing to miss a free throw to lose a game, or to dribble off your foot out of bounds. To be so overwhelmed by the moment than you forget you have to stay out of bounds, that's something that'll stick in your brain for a while.
