This tournament is garbage this year. All the higher seeds are winning by double digits and the only exciting victory was Winthrop over Notre Dame. VCU over Duke didn't surprise me considering this is the youngest Duke team in 60 years.

My bracket's looking sweet right now. 25/28 correct! The Duke loss hurt though, as I had them in the Elite 8. Everything else seems to be going good. If anyone caught the WI game today (I go to Madison), wow. Down by 18. Nobody here was feeling real good going into halftime. I told everyone though that we were going to change the pace and we came back and stomped them.

That Tenessee game though - I've never seen such a ridiculously high scoring game before (121-86)

Eh, another average day of the tournament with closer matches. This will probably end up with all the #1 seeds reaching the final four.

That will NEVER happen.

First round was pretty boring, but this round has been pretty good. How bout them Runnin' Rebels?!!

Hope everyone realizes that O$U has, in the past two games, 76 free throws. That is absurd. The refs are absolutely awful and sure love them bucknuts.

show me video proof of these "bad" calls and then i'll say you have an argument. Let me guess, you think lofton should have gone to the foul line, well for one you dont get to shoot free throws every time you get fouled, and secondly is it really ohio states fault that almost all of his shots were 3's. Are you going to tell me the refs cheated Tennessee by blowing a 20 point lead and forced them to shoot over 30 3's. How about the great lofton learn to give up the damn ball instead of shooting every time he touches it, and instead of shooting a stupid 3 that he wasnt going to make, try to actually drive to the basket, and then he will get a foul called. Look at ramar smith, he shot the most freethrows on their team, and guess how many of his shots were inside the arc, ALL OF THEM. Conely shot the most freethrows for ohio state, and guess how many of his shots were inside the arc, ALL OF THEM. Do you see were im going with this. You are not even going to see the foul line if you sit outside all day.

Im guessing you think that Oden's 3rd and 4th fouls were good calls too, or how about when ron lewis clearly got all ball near the end of the game and they called a foul. Or maybe when conley was breaking away after a steal and their was clearly a blocking foul on Tennessee and it caused it him to loose the ball with no call and Tennessee hit a three off of that steal, and then AFTER that play the ref stopped the game to see if conley was ok. Its a two way street here, you should probably stick to the ESPN message boards, because its not going to work here.

Oh yeah, lets try to ignore the fact that ohio states last 17 foul shots were with three minutes to go in the memphis game.

Just remember, OSU wouldn't be in the tournament right now if that flagrant foul would have been called on Oden. You know, the one he admitted to do committing after the game. Ya, that one. Thought that would put your high and mighty attitude in check.

Just remember you are talking to a UF fan, who you are not above, so don't talk to me like you are.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
