Loyola vs. Nevada - Sweet 16!

Oh - and I DID hear announcers mention Bradley as their last loss on the season.

Oh how I love the Kentucky Blue Fried Chicken Honks!

The arrogant fans had themselves in the Final 4!

I also heard the BU mention! And whoever had Kansas State and Loyola playing for a berth in the Final Four had waaaaaay too much time filling out their brackets.

I didn't see the end of the game but other games I've watched I always wondered if losing teams would walk off instead of shaking hands when the winning team takes a long time celebrating...and maybe KState didn't take that long either. Some have gone on a long time and most of the teams wait but it seems a little awkward to me.


Also....I know I'm suppose to root for Loyola but I hope Bruce and KState win...he's a great guy who's a good coach.......now if KSU loses I'll be rooting for Loyola the rest of the way

here's my take....and there's a video that shows some of this...but I think it's not a big deal- I doubt anyone was "disrespecting" anyone - people just do what hey do ...

-sure the K-State guys were celebrating, but within 20-30 seconds, they were already lining up to do the handshakes...

-immediately after the game the Kentucky bench players were already on their feet and filing towards the scorers table to do the handshakes & the on court players were headed there to join them..

-then suddenly someone must have said something because all the Kentucky players stopped simultaneously in their tracks, turned and headed for their lockeroom...it appears they were told by one of the coaching staff to just leave and ignore the usual post-game congratulatory handshake - of course the coaches and staff also turned and left..
Perhaps they just realized this was K-State's game to celebrate and there was no more reason for them to be there...

If I were with K-State, I wouldn't really care - it's an interesting thing to discuss, but I sure wouldn't take it personally as it reflects only on the Kentucky guys if anyone wants to make something of it....and not on the K-State guys.
