Wagner has been dominant for the majority of the game, and then Howard have made it interesting late. The madness is in full swing now

Council Jr. is super versatile. Handles the ball well, strong in the paint. Its like he's able to play Guard and Foward at the same time

10:58 I guess the time keeper was anticipating a foul to be called because they stopped the clock for a split second lol

Both teams didn't turn the ball over much in this game for two sixteen seeds. Melvin Council JR was a Game Leader he was everywhere on the Court in this game.

The best part about the tourney for me is hearing about guys like Seth Towns. A lot of players have some unique stories and those stories are finally gonna be told for the country to hear.

Spero Dedes needs to call ever game, the guy is brilliant...

Imagine just shooting a normal 3 instead of trying to get a foul call on ur 2nd attempt

Too bad a certain politician wasn't around to support Howard.

If Wagner can make shots and not killed inside they have a shot they made some clutch shots but otherwise going to be tough one against unc

Anybody out there know if after the game finished, were the Howard Bison forced to listen to yet another "pep talk" in their dressing room in Dayton, Ohio by the Vice President of the U.S.?(lol)?
