From CBS Sports NBA writer, Zach Harper:
Not sure why they ran the "throw it inside the 3-point line" play when down three but I'm not a college coach.

Ryne Hancock, a BroJackson.com writer who mostly covers New Orleans sports also had this interesting viewpoint.
Jason McIntyre from The Big Lead also had a take.
Doug Gottlieb, a CBS Sports commentator was not terribly surprised.
Nicole Auerbach, a USA Today college sports writer kept the upset in perspective.
Mark Titus, of Grantland, had a bit of contradictory viewpoint.
Remember: When a team gets upset, it means they were a fraud all along. The best team has never lost in the NCAA tournament ever in history.

Don’t forget, though, the tournament is emotional for all.

Then there’s the big picture view we all tend to focus on.
83.4 percent of brackets had Villanova in the Sweet 16, the lowest number among the 1-seeds.

Finally, there’s CBS’ Jerry Palm’s viewpoint from Jacksonville, another NCAA regional site.
The NC State win got a somewhat muted cheer here when it posted on the scoreboard.
