Shock & Awe: Faces Of March Madness, Day Three
Underdogs are on crisis alert, as only five teams from non-money conferences remain in the tournament: Lehigh, Ohio, Creighton, Norfolk State, and Xavier.

Some Bro Really Wanted His "LeBron Went South But His Mom Rides West" T-Shirt On Television
It's not clear why this guy wore his anti-LeBron shirt to a 76ers-Bulls game in Chicago, but he really wanted to make sure WGN viewers got to see it for themselves. Maybe it's the only green article of clothing he owns, and he didn't want any strangers pinching him. [WGN]...

With a ...
Today It Was Florida State That Avoided An Upset Thanks To The Refs
Another day, another blown call that changed a game's outcome in Nashville as third-seeded Florida State escaped with a win over St. Bonaventure due to referees missing this violation (hint: when inbounding the ball you have to stay out of bounds) that would have handed the Bonnies the ball under ...
A Clearly Bored Steve Smith Tried (And Failed) To Touch Virtual Graphics On-Air Today
Former Michigan State basketball star Steve Smith is part of the revolving door of Turner basketball analysts feeding the NCAA tournament frenzy on TNT, TBS, and TruTV—and it seems he's already grown bored, given his wandering off-set and into the augmented reality graphics onscreen. It's only mad...

UConn's Season Encapsulated: Jeremy Lamb Blows A Dunk At The Buzzer With The Huskies Down 13
UConn operated with a certain air of jack-assery this season, and there's really no better example than how that season ended, as UConn stole the ball from Iowa State (which was just running out the clock in the accepted manner of sportsmanship) and Jeremy Lamb botched a windmill dunk. Your reigni...
Roscoe Smith's Attempt At A Buzzer-Beater Was The Worst Since Roscoe Smith
UConn's Roscoe Smith, famed for this ludicrously early buzzer-beater last season, let another ball go near the end—but not at the end—of the first half in the Huskies' 8-9 matchup against Iowa State in Louisville. It wasn't as ridiculous as his attempt against Texas, but it was close. [TBS]...
Syracuse Avoided Being The First 1 Seed To Lose To A 16, Thanks In Part To The Referees
