Under the noses -- presented by H&R block get it right on Bryan Webber were. Breaking down the brackets and yeah. In terms -- coming up we'll hear from Baylor hasn't gotten through apple find out what went wrong from Kansas.
Let's start by walking in box which I've got to basketball writer Jeff Goodman jet it was a wild weekend let's begin with Cornell great chilling. What's been the key for the big red as they had to the sweet sixteen.
You know I saw earlier in the year -- at Harvard and it it really blew me away how many guys that can shoot the ball. And I came away saying mission when it came in the NCAA tournament other Florida gets you under their belt now they've played Kentucky. And why does it is there shooters Ryan -- and -- Randy whipped into really stroke it. Louis Dale got a whole lot better shoot the ball in the perimeter they got guys like Chris and what we're blessed ski. Like John jocks. Big guy in the middle Jeb Bush has seven border it's got so many weapons. That they're really tough that -- bent.
A gala unblemished in -- to get a big win over Maryland thank you court -- At the balls are but the bad news was -- a look at what's the latest on him.
Well it it does look like he -- it's one Achilles. Would July obviously put -- the -- the tournament. They're not a 100% sure they're gonna do some test. But it looks that way and that's gonna be crushing blow. Opera David you know had a pretty good out here you know that had a chance to go up against northern Iowa. You know when they're starting point guard certainly they would like their chances there now you put in a kid like core -- is or emitting huge shot. Obviously would beat Maryland. But can he run the point four you know 35 -- I don't know.
There are other big -- at this weekend Kansas Villanova bolt knocked out what happened. Happened to those power out.
Well -- just wasn't the same team is a year ago. Are really because a lot of Dante Cunningham and so those seniors to -- Anderson and Shane Clark didn't have the leadership didn't happen topless. We saw the first round they almost lost Robert Morris. -- then they go up against a team with a big time big giant Omar Samad and they just couldn't get over the -- Kansas boy you know your -- good is my enemy. Call hundreds going down at the end of the game not being in the game I've certainly heard -- because they had to depend more heavily on March is Morris. And your colleagues didn't make letters you know you try it just didn't make it you gotta give northern ire when it credit cards -- They obviously played very well in that game. Kansas could make those plays down the reds -- comes up short of one on one situation nothing went right opportunities.
some guys who we are not part -- are now making games and Zell has been great to get another kid from golden mile and a map.
It and I'll tell you what I'd love to do all it can't -- Omar Sam Kennedy keep at all. Obviously kids are terrific I mean you talked about Sammy had I he has a beast he's got that attitude. On the inside of his -- and ends its right police -- because this kid plays hard is anybody in America. He's got an infectious personality. Make him ecology and it really wasn't recruited by anybody. Originally some of New Mexico got out of it and they really didn't have a whole lot of boxers. He's one of those true point guards who can also make shots and then obviously northern Iowa. You got the other kid Ali -- when matched. Maybe she heard shot I hope what I've said it ride it out trot out -- the you know thirty who knows how many times I got it right. But if they censored story earlier shot caught everybody's at what is it doing other outlawed and any Barry is the user -- can sort.
Okay jet -- as we alluded to earlier Cornell is looking to become the first I really seem to make this week it needs it's -- had a brilliant run to the Final Four in 1979. Wisconsin was the victim of the big up at the big red rolling to a 87. I went went outside if you want percent from the floor nearly 53% of their three pointers they'll play Kentucky out Thursday.
Got to -- lot of good looks. You know ought to go to go to. You know our bigs just foods one of the best screen isn't mentioned you know I know our coach always talks about a hard to -- does. You know -- and that's critical when he puts him like Wisconsin is always -- has always fighting through a screen is extremely hard. I think to vote. And like almost everyone my basket is coming off the ball screen and dribble handoff from him.
The beauty of this torment is that. If you get out of your league play no one knows -- as well you're able to do what you really do well and the other team that make adjustments.

Is better than people thought what we've got a -- people -- been out there -- schedule new players that way they'll also more hurt.
