I hate the 1 on 1 isolation stuff so many college coaches go to when they need a basket, it's spineless IMO. And dumb in this case because Niang was playing awful offensively.
And then Baylor had one of the all-time choke jobs against Georgia St. They were up 12 with 2:40 left and let Georgia St score the last 13 points of the game. In that time Baylor had 4 turnovers, were 0-4 from the field, and 0-1 from the FT line.
Having said all that, I love seeing the little guys knock off the big dog. It's what makes this tournament so great. I can already hear the announcers tomorrow night saying "What other way could this wacky round of 64 end but with yet another gargantuan upset?"
