Auburn leads Michigan 9-6 at the first media timeout.

Was Michigan St better or did Ole 
Miss choke? I’d say choke job. 

My goodness the Houston and Purdue game is not tipping until 10:28pm.

Here is an interesting stat with tonight's win Michigan State's Tom Izzo is now 10-0 all-time in the NCAA tournament vs. SEC schools.

This is a first in the Michigan State and Ole Miss game with just :17.1 to play and the ball goes out of bounds and they don't go look at the monitor. lol

That one was obvious.

Watched the 1999 regional final at Bellevue Kroger. My supervisor was extremely mad.

Ole Miss makes a meaningless deep three as time expires to lose by three. The line: Michigan State (-3.5). Brutal.

Bad beats in 3…2…1…

Auburn vs Michigan. One team should be ahead by a decent amount but both trying to show boat.

I know but usually 8 out of 10 are as well but they always go look.

Maybe a bit of both. Michigan State has been consistent, at this point that's how they've won games. They've been very consistent when necessary.

NCAA should set the times somewhat based on time zone. The first set of game were all EST schools, start them at 600 pm and this game starts at 9:28 which is only 7:28 for Houston.

For a few decades the NCAA has catered to the west coast and it's probably costing them people watching in the later rounds. My thoughts are start the EST team games 1st at 6-630 and IF there are any Mountain or Pacific Time teams those games go to the second half of games for the night. Seems simple enough. 

My quick analysis, I think there were only 4 teams in the Sweet sixteen not from Eastern Standard time zones.  

Purdue is leading Houston 31-29 at the half.

Auburn defeats Michigan 78-65 at the 12:26 mark of the 2nd half Michigan had their largest lead of 9 at 48-39 and the remainder of the game Auburn outscored them 39-17. This makes the 4th SEC team to make the Elite 8.

Houston has come back to lead Purdue by 10 at 56-36 with 7:55 to play.

Loved Bruce after the game chanting SEC, SEC. Michigan State will be a tough opponent for the Tigers on Sunday.
