Under 4 TO Miami leads 70-64; Hurricanes had it up to 12 but let Buff slip back in. Not quite over yet. #MarchMadness

Under 8 TO Miami leads 58-49 and could extend to 10 with FT. This could be breaking point for Buffalo. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/18/2016 12:35:35 AM
Under 12 TO Miami still up 50-43; can't quite shake Buff. Hurricanes just need a little six-point run and this will be over. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/18/2016 12:25:05 AM
Under 16 TO Miami leads 41-36; Hurricanes still not a smooth unit tonight; they can't let Buffalo hang around. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/18/2016 12:15:09 AM
Meanwhile Miami is 1 for 7 of threes and Buffalo is showing them much respect outside the arc. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/18/2016 12:00:20 AM
Buffalo is shooting 9 for 30 overall and just 4 for 18 on twos. Lucky to be in this game; The Buffs need easier shots inside the arc

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 11:59:46 PM
Purdue goes down to Little Rock in 2 OTs; guards failed the Boilers most of the time. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 11:29:51 PM
Under 8 TO Buffalo's man to man that's contracting back into the late frustrating Miami. Buffs lead 21-16 #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 11:20:31 PM
The joys of modern technology: Watching Little Rock-Purdue while sitting courtside at Miami-Buffalo. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 11:17:17 PM
Under 12 timeout Buffalo leads 15-11. Miami starting to figure things out on offense; Bulls had the Hurricanes stymied for a bit.

(It’s … kinda long.) twitter.com/adchesebro/sta…

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 10:57:40 PM
No nerves for Buffalo, leading 9-4 at under 16 TO. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 10:57:32 PM
I can't believe how small the lettering is on the Miami uniforms. No chance of reading it when the Hurricanes are down other end of court

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 10:55:34 PM
what a shot by Little Rock; then Purdue had five seconds left and froze. Overtime.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 10:54:40 PM
Miami getting for Buffalo.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:58:40 PM
Free throws were the difference as they made 22 of 29 while Baylor made 9 of 15. Makai Mason was outstanding hitting 11 of 11

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:55:54 PM
Weird stats from Yale's win. The Bulldogs took 19 fewer shots and made four fewer field goals. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:54:31 PM
The Ivy League’s won five tournament games the past six years. Yale got its first ever. t.co

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 9:41:59 PM
Yale upsets Baylor 79-75; great moment for the Ivy League. Bulldogs were mentally tougher; didn't fold under pressure at end. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:33:08 PM
Yale wins, 79-75. We have an upset in Providence.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/17/2016 9:32:56 PM
This 3 was cold though. t.co

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 9:31:17 PM
Yale's Nick Victor, who has played great in non-statistical ways; gets two FTs with 6.8 left.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:29:53 PM
Yale forced to call timeout after Baylor 3; need to get it inbound and make free throws. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:27:30 PM
Sears was so caught up in missing free throws, he forgot to match up on defense.

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 9:24:42 PM
Sears misses 2 FTs for Yale; easy layup for Baylor and its' 74-72 with 28 seconds left. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:24:27 PM
If Yale is Cinderella, then Cinderella broke a heel and is wobbling and hobbling to the finish line here.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/17/2016 9:24:26 PM
However Scott Drew uses his last timeout; told you it would come back to get him. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:18:45 PM
Baylor is not going away. Taurean Price drills a 3 to bring the Bears within 4 with 1:21 left. The 5-12 game is living up to its reputation.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/17/2016 9:18:34 PM
Taurean Prince coming up big for Baylor; hit a 3 to cut it to 72-68 1:12. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:18:20 PM
Plays don’t get too much bigger that this one by Justin Sears. t.co

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 9:17:58 PM
Makai Mason establishes a new career-high with 27 points. Yale is up 72-65 with 1:30 left.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/17/2016 9:16:54 PM
Baylor misses one of two; free throws will be critical in the last 1:36

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:16:08 PM
out of time out Yale turns the ball over and Baylor can cut the lead to four with FTs. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:15:20 PM
(Remember that time when Yale was snubbed by the NIT.) http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cdx3kdcWoAAjN1y.jpg

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 9:11:36 PM
under 4 TO Yale leads 68-60. Bulldogs have to be aggressive; can't start playing the clock yet. Baylor needs to turn up defensive heat.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:08:29 PM
Yale guard Makai Mason has tied his career-high with 25 points.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/17/2016 9:06:57 PM
Baylor rallies to within 6 with 4:39; James Jones doesn't wait puts Sears and Sherrod back in with four fouls. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:05:29 PM
Oh god. t.co

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 9:02:30 PM
Scott Drew uses another timeout with 6:47 left; down by 11. He's only one left; won't be able to stop clock if his team rallies.

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 9:00:11 PM
If you only knew how happy it makes @Globesullivan that every band in Providence has played Cameo’s ‘Word Up.’ youtube.com/watch?v=MZjAan…

by Julian Benbow via twitter 3/17/2016 8:57:47 PM
Yale has to get to the next timeout with at least a six point lead; Then Sears and Sherrod can returns. #MarchMadness

by Joseph Sullivan via twitter 3/17/2016 8:57:37 PM
Yale is up 12 with 7:28 to go. Baylor is shooting just 25 percent in the second half. @Yale_Basketball is out-rebounding Baylor, 33-24.

by Christopher Gasper via twitter 3/17/2016 8:57:07 PM
Under 12 TO Yale leads 62-50. Yale subs doing great job with Justin Sears and Brandon Sherrod in four trouble. #MarchMadness
