Go to that website and sign up. It enables you to watch live streaming video of ALL NCAA tournament games on CBS. I've got the Creighton-Nevada game on TV, and the Miami-Oregon game going on my computer.

It's been a game of runs so far for Miami. They started the game up 9-0 over Oregon, but quickly found themselves trailing. The RedHawks have since gone on another big run, 10-3, to put them right back in the game heading into the half...

Oregon 25, Miami (OH) 22
HALFTIME

Pollitz is having a great game (9 points, 4 rebounds) and the commentators are raving about his fundamentals and footwork.

ncaasports.com is a savior for this tourney.

I watched the entire Duke-VCU game last night when they insisted on showing us the OSU game on the local channel. It's also great for watching games at work

The only caveat is that they will not allow you to watch whatever game is being shown on your local CBS affiliate.

Is it bad that I'm rooting against Miami for the sake of my bracket? In my heart, I'd really love to see them win and go far, but I've got Oregon winning? Ugh.

For the record, its 46-38 Oregon with 8:55 left.

I'm in the same boat...need Oregon to win for my bracket but my heart is enjoying watching Miami play well.

Miami on a 10-0 run to cut it to 1 with :41 to play.

They made it close there at the end. Made a buzzer beater at the end but the timing was off.

Good for Miami. Winning would be better, but a fine effort.

Damn! Certainly a strong showing by Miami, but it would have been HUGE for the MAC if they actually got this win. We'll all remember that the #4 seed in the MAC took a highly ranked and Pac-10 champion down to the wire. But many others will only know the MAC went one-&-done again in the postseason. Hats off to Miami though, they made a helluva game out of it.

Hey...we beat Miami by more than Oregon did!!! We also beat 2 tournament teams (Wright State --NCAA tourney, and South Alabama--NIT)

Could Akron have beaten Oregon or did the Redhawks do as good as any MAC team was going to do against them? Of course Akron may not be 14 seed and play someone else.

Just about any team with the talent of Miami will bring their best game and best effort to a team as good as Oregon. I think Akron would have also brought their best game and effort but would too have fallen a bit short.

Miami had been building to this level of game all year. Their OC schedule was brutal...... UK, Michigan, Illinois, Xavier, Dayton, Cincinnati, all big basketball programs. Toss in Wright State for good measure. (Charlie Coles is crazy like a fox) The Seniors really talked about the experience of having to play those teams, in those loud arenas, and how it prepared them for big games later in the season.

If only the Redhawks wouldn't have went cold for 10 minutes in the first.......

But think about it..... a 14 seed holding Oregon to 58 points (season average over 76 pts per game), the fourth lowest score for Oregon all year. We'll have to see if Withrop paid attention to how Miami controlled the game. The Ducks might not make it out of the weekend.

As long as Charile Coles is coaching Miami, they will continue to be a legitmate threat to any team they play. And I think he has two or three more years on his contract....... then he will retire.

If they were building "to this level all year" then how did they get beat by a team with nothing to play for (BG) the last regular season game of the year when they had a first round bye at stake for the MAC tourney?

They probably got overconfident. They thought that they would walk all over us, and we came out and surprised them. Once you start taking teams for granted, that's when you get beat. In retrospect, the BG loss probably helped Miami re-focus before the MAC Tournament.
