To be clear, I really like Lappas on commentary. He explains the game really well and in an understandable way. The timeout thing is just funny.

Steve Lappas is begging coaches to call timeout at all times.

I love that Fairleigh Dickinson is playing with all the confidence in the world but FAU isn't getting shook either.

This is just an awesome game with teams trading blows.

FDU has 12 offensive rebounds already.

FAU was up 11 in the first half and I expected the Owls to pull away. Instead FDU has a four-point lead in the second half.

It'll be Creighton vs. Princeton for a spot in the Elite Eight.

Fairleigh Dickinson leads in the second half!

Look at all that Italian ?

How sweet it is ?

With @MSU_Basketball's win over Marquette, Tom Izzo moves into a tie for the most Sweet Sixteen appearances among active coaches ?

Creighton Blue Jays! I haven't seen a blue and white bird-themed team this exciting since the St. Louis Battlehawks.

This is the best story of the tournament.

Tom Izzo is 3-1 against 2-seeds as a 7-seed.

He's 16-12 as a lower-seeded team, the most such wins for any coach in NCAA Tournament history.

One of these teams will be in the Final Four:

Kansas State
Tennessee
Michigan State
Florida Atlantic
Fairleigh Dickinson

Michigan State has just two wins all season when making fewer than 6 three-pointers.

Friday vs. USC
Today vs. Marquette

Tom Izzo moves to 24-7 in the second game of an NCAA Tournament weekend.

Four of those losses were to Final Four or national championship teams.

He always tells players to win the first game and he'll win the second.

Sissoko came back in with 4:52 left with four fouls.

Three blocks, four rebounds, really good defense.

I think that's a clean block. Kolek's shot just floated.

Would like a replay of that not-goaltend! Looked so close.

It was always going to come down to this, closing out a game.

Always thought this team would be in a four-minute game with a really good team to make the Sweet 16. And here we are.

The whistles, the whistles are not great.

Did Sissoko just screen his own teammate and commit a foul?
