When Jamaal Tatum missed that tip-in attempt in the second half I knew that my beloved SIU Salukis, the team whose done such a good job representing my alma mater, the team who's stars I interviewed not to long ago just didn't have enough to overcome the mighty Kansas Jayhawks.
Actually, I didn't know right then, I'm a little less fatalistic than that. That shot though, wasn't a good sign.
We came as close as that shot did to falling in. Such is March. That's why you can love it and hate it all at once.
I'm also hating on that A&M/Memphis finish. First you have that lame foul call that led to Memphis getting the lead then you have more than a second getting took off the clock after that bad inbounds try by the Aggies.
A&M may not have deserved to win that one but they didn't deserve to lose it the way they did, having to hurl up a half-court shot with less than two seconds left.
Now Ohio St. is down six to Tennessee. My elite 8 is looking shakey. Oh well, I don't feel as bad as they do in College Station or in Carbondale, which I don't mind leaving behind, but I wish I could have been there tonight.
