WASHINGTON -- It pained Jimmy Butler to say the words that were about to come out of his mouth. As the All-Star swingman described the Chicago Bulls' play in a lackluster first half -- in which they trailed by 19 in a game they would ultimately lose 112-107 to the Washington Wizards -- Butler was blunt in his assessment."We were just lazy," Butler said. "I hate this word -- and soft. I hate it. But that's exactly what we were. They beat us at every 50-50 ball. Whopped our tail in transition. We ..>> view originalThe four most compelling second-round NCAA tournament matchups
The best thing I can say about the first two days of this NCAA tournament is that they've left us with an excellent second round. The first round was heavy on chalk—the top-four seeds went 16–0 for the first time since 2007—and light on drama, with Northwestern's first-ever tourney victory (on an epic gaffe by Vanderbilt) and USC's buzzer-beater against SMU going down as the two most memorable moments. While Rob Lowe seemed sufficiently entertained … … the best ..>> view originalUFC champ Conor McGregor vows to stop Floyd Mayweather, says 'I am boxing'

INDIANAPOLIS -- Following his team's 64-58 win over Dayton on Friday night, Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall criticized the NCAA tournament selection committee -- again -- for slotting the Flyers as a 7-seed against the Shockers, a team many believe deserved better than a 10-seed."And I would like to finish by saying that, once again, I think Dayton deserved a better draw in this tournament," said Marshall, whose team advances to face Kentucky. "I'll finish with that."Dayton coach Archie Mille..>> view originalSelf, top seed Kansas see mirror image in Michigan State (Mar 19, 2017)
TULSA, Okla. — The easy part of the NCAA Tournament is over for the Kansas Jayhawks. After coasting in the second half and grasping a 100-62 victory over University of California-Davis on Friday evening, the Midwest No. 1 seed Jayhawks (29-4) advanced to play a program that looks a lot like them. Kansas versus Michigan State could’ve been a predictable Final Four matchup in past seasons. But since the freshman-dominated Spartans (20-14) are the No. 9 seed in the Midwest, college basketball f..>> view originalThe NCAA tournament is about to wake up

Rhode Island basketball players were given a motivational boost as they took the floor for their NCAA Tournament game Friday against Creighton — former Ram and NBAer Lamar Odom was there to watch. Odom, who obtained legendary hoops status at Rhode Island despite playing only one year there, was a surprise spectator at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. “Our kids went crazy when they saw him,” Rhode Island assistant Jim Carr said, per Fox Sports. “We’ll take all the good luck charms we can get.” The..>> view originalFouling flubs mark first 2 days of NCAA Tournament
Coaches across the country can use the first two days of the NCAA Tournament as examples when they’re teaching the importance of knowing when and how to foul in late-game situations. One day after Northwestern sank the winning free throws in a 68-66 victory over Vanderbilt after an ill-timed foul, Arkansas clinched its 77-71 triumph over Seton Hall after the Pirates got called for a flagrant foul in the final minute. Arkansas was clinging to a 72-71 lead over Seton Hall with 18.3 seconds rem..>> view original
