Best Final Four ever? Maybe. The four No. 1 seeds faced off Saturday in two matchups of all-time great teams. The games lived up to the hype with Houston's amazing comeback vs. Duke, and Walter Clayton Jr's stellar performance vs...

We entered the Final Four with 4 awesome teams and the potential for two incredible games.

They did not disappoint!

I wrote about Houston’s emotions, Walter Clayton Jr.’s incredible shot making, two sick dunks, and much more

A Cinderella-less Sweet 16 It's nothing but teams from the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC in the men's NCAA Tournament's second week. We highlight Sunday's big moments -- a true buzzer beater! -- the stars, and much more.

Yes, the Sweet 16 is only SEC, Big 12, Big Ten and Duke.

But we did get a true buzzer beater!

Yup, and I think this is actually a terrible PR thing, since very few people have positive emotional ties to a hospital system. Everybody hates American health care!

Hearing from multiple industry people I trust that several D1 schools are having SERIOUS internals talks about reclassifying out of D1 before July/House. Mostly but not exclusively in the northeast. I’d be a little surprised if nobody ends up doing it.

Two things always happen this time of year: you file your taxes and Gonzaga clinches an NCAA Tournament berth.

Elsewhere ... VCU wins at Duquesne to clinch a share of the Atlantic 10 regular season title and the No. 1 seed in next week's tournament in D.C.

That locks George Mason into the No. 2 seed with two games remaining.

Instant classic brewing at Clune Arena where 1-15 Fresno State and 0-15 Air Force are going to overtime. It's the worst combined record for a conference game this late in the season since 0-16 Buffalo played 1-15 Northern Illinois in 1999.

That was a bonkers hoops weekend It'd be one thing if it was just 11 ranked teams that lost. But the mix of blown leads, ejections and lack of key players only added to the drama. Oh, and John Calipari won in his return to Kentucky. ...

You probably saw the Big 12 craziness and the Vols and Hawgs making statements, but there was a lot more WTF moments from this weekend.

My fave? SDSU dropped a 20-0 run on Wyoming - only to have Wyo made 8 FTs in 2.8 seconds!

The (defensive) Game of the Year Houston's remarkable win at Allen Fieldhouse defied the odds. We'll detail it, the other stunning upsets the weekend, grind-it-out victories by Auburn and Duke, a statement from Purdue, and much more.

Still grappling with how Houston pulled off its win vs Kansas.

So I wrote about that and everything else that mattered this weekend in college hoops.
