WHAT ON EARTH DID I JUST WATCH

Omg Archie took the bait

Dior Johnson (38p tonight) on the bench for a crucial possession (for some reason) begging his coaching staff to call timeout so he can get back in the game.

It's not going to get the love of the Terrence Hill shot, but to me, this denial by Brandon Jennings (VCU #0) is the play of the day in the NCAA Tournament. Completely blows up North Carolina's action.

FINAL: Marist 83, Iona 38 Bear with me… - Largest MAAC win for Marist EVER - Largest margin of victory for John Dunne at Marist - First time scoring under 40 points for Iona since 2009 And more stats to come A historic MAAC blowout.

OH MY GOD A WILD SHOT BY BRIAN MOORE AT THE BUZZER AND NORFOLK STATE WINS!!!

OH MY GOD!!! TJ POWER TIES THE GAME AT 75 WITH ONE SECOND LEFT!! A MIRACLE FOR PENN!! 40 POINTS FOR POWER!! WE ARE GOING TO OVERTIME IN ITHACA!!! Penn 75, Yale 75

THE FULL UNABRIDGED MAAC MASCOT GAME! It was very physical this year. Mascots hitting the deck. The Humans took it over the Animals 4-0. Mack the Warrior and Killian the Gael scored. Mid-Major Madness No Context College Basketball College Basketball Content

INSANE FINISH!! MARY WASHINGTON WINS THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE BUZZER 75-73 ON A COLIN MITCHELL PUTBACK! Comes right after Emory drills a game-tying three coming from down 13. Division III. What a finish

WHAT JUST HAPPENED!! BRAYLON MULLINS DEEP THREE AND UCONN LEADS WITH 0.4 SECONDS LEFT!!! HUSKIES FORCED A TURNOVER TO GET THE SHOT. I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW. UConn 73, Duke 72. OMG OMG OMG

Why is this such a perfect fit? Because Ernest Shelton has already been running the exact plays that he'll be running for BC. Merrimack HC Joe Gallo and Luke Murray are close. Gallo runs a lot of the same sets for shooters as UConn did. Portal Analysis:

OKC got two separate paint touches — including one from the 2x reigning MVP — on one possession and didn’t even look at the rim. This is what having Victor Wembanyama does. The best defender on the planet just so happens to be an unstoppable offensive force too.

Extremely emotional answer from Syracuse guard Laila Phelia on her journey through a retinal detachment last year at Texas and what coming to Syracuse and playing for Felisha Legette-Jack meant to her:

The FULL. UNABRIDGED. MAAC MASCOT GAME for your viewing pleasure

I asked Fairfield head coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis what her pitch to the NCAA Selection Committee would be to get Quinnipiac - who is now 28-4 - into the NCAA Tournament “Watch them”

Iona’s roster is done, so I asked Dan Geriot to describe each player in one word

Idk if you guys know about this but Will Wade’s special assistant posts behind the scenes McNeese content on TikTok and it’s incredible. (_reedollaz_)

FINAL: Merrimack 58, Marist 57 Warriors can’t get the score, but Collins-Roberts dribbles into trouble as the clock runs out, and Merrimack edges past Marist to head to the title game. It wasn’t pretty. But they never are. Heartbreaking loss for Marist

FINAL: Mount St. Mary’s 84, Niagara 83 CARMELO PACHECO WINS IT FOR THE MOUNT AFTER A PERFECTLY EXECUTED MISSED FREE THROW AND OFFENSIVE REBOUND!! Heartbreak for Niagara, FOUL UP 3 GONE WRONG (Jordan Majewski, Jim Root)

Sacred Heart’s band’s rendition of “Country Roads, Take Me Home” had mascots swaying together and the whole boardwalk singing.

JAKE FIEGEN WINS IT FOR CORNELL AT THE BUZZER OH MY GOD!!!!! INCREDIBLE GAME!!! Mid-Major Madness

I asked Bashir Mason about the impact that Corey Washington has made in the Saint Peter’s program Bash said that Corey flew up from Arkansas on his own dime to try out for the team with no scholarship offers after his senior year Now, he’s 1st team All-MAAC and a MAAC Champion.

UNBELIEVABLE FINISH!! TARIK WATSON GIVES MARIST THE LEAD, JADEN DAUGHTRY POKES IT OUT, BUT LOSES IT, AND BUDD CLARK TOSSES A GAME WINNING ALLEY OOP TO BRYAN ETUMNU AT THE BUZZER BUT IT GETS WAVED OFF

BOARDWALK-AND-TALK! FAIRFIELD IS THE MAAC WOMEN’S BASKETBALL CHAMPION! What does it take to build a dynasty? + MAAC Men’s Final tomorrow
