@tgavin99 Thanks for the comment! I just played Just Breathe for my daughter as a lullaby - thanks for the inspiration. My wife always appreciates when I put the kids to bed. Feel free to let me know where you think my insights are elementary or wrong and I'll be happy to explain the fundamentals to you. Coach Nick

[@BurghFinsFan]

Broke my heart. First time I have watched it since it happened.

[@MalaneeT]

Me too.

[@lightsdarkness7714]

me 2 :(

[@bballbreakdown]

@fred7699 My pleasure. Stay tuned for lots more! I'll try and get another tournament game next week.

[@bballbreakdown]

@mrhybrantvegeta Thanks for the comment! Unbelievable Kansas didn't make it to the Final Four. Stay tuned for lots more to come from bballbreakdown as the NBA starts its way towards the playoffs! Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@pie333cool Thanks so much! Butler didn't have it tonight. But stay tuned for the NBA Playoffs! Awesome breakdowns throughout! Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@Unntra Thanks so much! We'll get to the next one ASAP!

[@bballbreakdown]

@clbnlsn Thanks so much! Butler's cinderella slipper fell off tonight, but they had an amazing run. The playoffs are coming! Lots more coming from the NBA!

[@bballbreakdown]

@HoopHonor Thanks! Stay tuned for more NCAA action during the next 2 rounds!

[@GrubWarp]

This video so ahead of its time

[@bballbreakdown]

@Tommmaaah Thanks. Stay tuned. Will try and get something up tomorrow.

[@bballbreakdown]

@buxoma Thanks so much! Stay tuned for lots more! And don't forget to spread the BBALLBREAKDOWN word to all your bball loving friends... Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@1playerroyal Thanks, sir! I will get to some more as they come up and if they're good!

[@bballbreakdown]

@NickTF2 Thanks! You don't love the energy and passion? I couldn't do these all the time because they run so many sets and execute so many things, it'd take me 30 minutes to get through a game! Coach NIck

[@bballbreakdown]

@LALWarrior Thanks! I hope you've had a chance to check out all our great content. Lots more coming up this week! Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@jhualexc Thanks! It's been pretty popular so far, so I'll try and sneak a few more NCAA games in ASAP.

[@bballbreakdown]

@busterbox Thanks! Pretty popular so far, so I'll try and do another one soon...

[@bballbreakdown]

@icemaen34 Thanks, mate. Stay tuned for lots more! I'm sure there will some other shocking games.

[@bballbreakdown]

@Originalname38 Thanks so much! I encourage you to check out our other posts and stay tuned as we'll post the breakdown of last night's Lakers vs. Suns epic triple OT game! Coach Nick

[@danieldougan269]

I remember watching this game live. As a Butler alum / fan, it probably took 10 years off my life. My GF at the time and I were in a hotel room in Chicago, and we were jumping up and down. She's a Butler alum as well. My wife today went to IU and never cared about sports anyway, so she wouldn't have understood as well if I had known her then. She's a better life match for me but not when it comes to sports.

[@bballbreakdown]

@TheAngryDipper Yeah - I'll do a better job this weekend of capturing games and choosing which one to breakdown. THanks! Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@GaRmAn Thanks! Stay tuned for lots more from BBALLBREAKDOWN! Coach NIck

[@1playerroyal]

Great video once again coach nick, I hope you do more of these !

[@bballbreakdown]

@LinhamProductions Problem is - the college game runs so many sets and they execute so well, that it'd take me 30 minutes to breakdown a game. But I'll try and sneak in some more tourney games for sure, and go from there...

[@bballbreakdown]

@Tasermanron Yes - we're prepping a comparison between the best and worst defenses in the NBA now!

[@bballbreakdown]

@BCNation1 Thanks so much! Make sure to check out all our NBA Breakdowns, plus exclusive interviews with coaches like Bill Bertka, Dean Smith, Tex Winter and many more! Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@EcEryda69 I don't have time - but I promise to record BYU vs. Florida, and if it's a good game, I'll break it down. Thanks, Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@1231omg I've gotten this request before, so I'll make sure to record the UCONN game and see if it's a good enough game to breakdown. I may try and do one that features Jimmer, Kemba, Sullinger, etc... Coach Nick

[@Originalname38]

Honestly, I just wanted the video and thought I'd put up with this guy talking so that I could see it. However, this analysis is fantastic. I'm an instant fan. I vote for more college BBall.

[@bballbreakdown]

@Britochinadianman Did I?? I kept doing that the whole breakdown and correcting myself. I had just watched the Gonzaga game and perhaps their styles are similar. Oh well - you knew what I meant, right? DAMN!!! :) Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@NoName1325 Well, that was a tough loss - hard to believe Butler could pull it out. I'll be cheering for them, for sure!

[@bballbreakdown]

@ArmoredFelix OK - I'm gonna do my best to balance it all. I might have to just focus on the key players - Jimmer, Sullinger, Kemba,...

[@bballbreakdown]

@tgavin99 Why sure - I could whistle a happy tune, then. Stay tuned for lots more from BBALLBREAKDOWN - We''ll be posting the Lakers Suns Triple OT thriller tonight!! Coach Nick

[@s067155987]

Crazy game, i was watching the end in the chicago airport and i was going nuts. I'm a Ohio state fan (always have been) but i was cheering for butler in that game. Keep up the analysis'. love them

[@bballbreakdown]

@s067155987 Thanks! Stay tuned for an NBA breakdown this week - Bulls #1 defense compared to Cavs #30 defense. And we will break down at least one game from the NCAA tournament this weekend. Coach Nick

[@bballbreakdown]

@KillenEMsoftly You mean on the rebound? Nasir Robinson grabs him. Here's my theory: Robinson thought Pitt was losing and fouled him to stop the clock. Only way to explain why it appeared he was TRYING to foul him. Thoughts?

[@bballbreakdown]

@gryd999 Problem is the free throw shooter is a senior, and Nasir Robinson, who fouled Howard on the rebound, is a junior. How can veterans make those mistakes?

[@bballbreakdown]

@SoxXxOwnsU We shall see. I'm anxious to see how Brad Stevens can sustain the program. Possible he missed a good opportunity to jump to a bigger program...

[@bballbreakdown]

@Anzwerz142 OK - thanks. Let's see about today and if I can get the other NBA stuff done tomorrow...

[@bballbreakdown]

@ultimatederon Yes, I agree. I truly think it's possible that the Pitt player who fouled at the end thought that Pitt was losing when he fouled. There is no other explanation why he just grabs Howard like that.

[@bballbreakdown]

@twogluon Thanks. I'll do my best to keep the DVR moving...

[@bballbreakdown]

@Eliterabbitsoldier I don't know -Kansas seems to find ways to lose...I haven't seen UConn play, so maybe I'd say they have a shot. Duke hasn't blown me away, but they're tough...

[@bballbreakdown]

@martinaird I've got 2 games queued up - missed Friday's game!!

[@bballbreakdown]

@losing3accounts OK - I can't do these that often - there are too many great plays and good exectution - A normal post would take 30 minutes!

[@bballbreakdown]

@foxfire1112 OK - I'm trying to get my schedule set up for the rest of the season so I can be as efficient as possible with my time...

[@bballbreakdown]

@MenSenzg I would love to - I just don't know how to get the footage. Do you know if the games are ever aired over here??

[@bballbreakdown]

@myspacedotco Thanks! Stay tuned for more...

[@bballbreakdown]

@BluePaintedChair @AJVersatility19 Yes! I don't think I could do NCAA on a regular basis - it would take me 30 minutes for each post since they execute 2 or 3 offensive sets in the SAME possession. So much hustle and great execution - a real pleasure. These are the kids that should be playing in the NBA - not a bunch of 19 year olds who will never learn the game the right way...

[@alexwc]

Oh my god that game was so intense and I learned a lot about defending some of these screens. Thanks coach. .If you have to forgo some of the Bbull and Heat breakdowns for NCAA few of us will blame you ;)

[@BallerBootCamp]

that was great

[@Unntra]

Love everything you do. More college more NBA more every thing.

[@Andrew10945]

More NCAA videos please. Really enjoyed it. Great Job

[@pie333cool]

dude! Ur amazing! Unlike any pro review dudes, u have a lot of talent and u have a great TV voice!

[@bballbreakdown]

@jayblac Too bad - I think Dixon is a good coach, but there were some mistakes made down the stretch...

[@MenSenzg]

@bballbreakdown I really don't know. On the Euroleague Homepage you can get access to all the games. But it costs money. On TV Eurosport2 shows a lot of games, but I don't know if you have this channel in the US.

[@BluePaintedChair]

i never watch ncaa cause i'm ignorant of the college stars, but i see that they have real basketball plays (not everyone is standing around like nba) and refs make the right calls. i'll try to watch more ncaa. please do more ncaa games!

[@bballbreakdown]

@casewnuts OK - we'll do a game next round for sure.

[@losing3accounts]

WOw NCAA is 100 times more intense than NBA! Plus the passion, love these, do more COach?

[@bballbreakdown]

@Acoltsnut29 I know- it was a long day when I did this. Hope you check out our NBA posts - the playoffs are coming and we'll have lots of exciting breakdowns. Coach Nick

[@icemaen34]

Great game, was watching it live from Australia

[@halowafflebrains]

Hey coach, this upset killed my bracket, but it was one hell of a game. Love the way those Bulldogs play. Hope to see you do more NCAA games, I find it more competitve than the NBA

[@sTalnaker13]

@bballbreakdown I really enjoyed your analysis. You obviously know your X's and O's and have a good knowledge of the game. At the end, I do think Mack had a good idea to stay up and put a little pressure on the outlet, but was too anxious trying to make a play on the ball. I hope to see more of your breakdowns here in the future. We got the sweet 16 coming up and my team IU is playing Kentucky Friday! Go Hoosiers!

[@bballbreakdown]

@IcantThinkOfAname9 I'll do the next Duke game most likely, if it's a good game...

[@s067155987]

Looking forward to seeing some analysis' this year! My countdown's on for March.

[@twogluon]

excellent analysis. Please do more for other NCAA tourney games!

[@bballbreakdown]

@ballakobe24 I couldn't do NCAA games all the time, since they run so many sets in each possession, it'd take me 20 minutes to go through a half!!

[@bballbreakdown]

@Raayn07 I don't like Irving's game at all. I do want to see Sullinger - haven't seen him yet. I'd like to do Jimmer if the game vs. FLA is a good one.

[@casewnuts]

Please do more NCAA games during march madness! Good video thumbs up!

[@austinmoore97]

Where did you get the footage of these games? I want to put together a little montage so I was just wondering.

[@casewnuts]

Please do more NCAA games during march madness! Good video thubs up!

[@icemaen34]

@DINHSProductions ESPN1. They showed the final 6 minutes or so at half time of the BYU game.

[@ricoderhuso]

i love this video! well done.

[@SlyCopper23]

Please Coach Nick. Keep doing this. How do you feel about Illinois and Northwestern?

[@IcantThinkOfAname9]

is there a way you can do the duke game? There is only so much highlights can show me

[@bballbreakdown]

@Pchencoolguy They just lost the game - tough one. Hope you check out our more recent breakdowns. Lots more to come from the NBA - the playoffs are coming!

[@MenSenzg]

Hey coach Nick, what about Euroleague games? I think they play really fundamentally sound basketball here in Europe. The Players are definitely not that good as in the NBA but the team game is often better (at least in my opinion) and regular season games are more intense - like play off games in the NBA. And I like NCAA basketball as well although I rarely have the opportunity to watch NCAA games. Love your analysis!

[@busterbox]

Yeah, loved it Nick.

[@EcEryda]

Can you Break Down Jimmer and BYU's game against Gonzaga

[@falljeff111]

whats the song in the march madness commercial before the butler vs. florida game?

[@bballbreakdown]

@thekeijl Great - I will get to some for the next round!

[@1231omg]

can u do a breakdown on kemba walker of uconn's potentialin in the nba

[@bballbreakdown]

@SmashBrosFan19 LOL... stay tuned for more in the next round...

[@bballbreakdown]

@supermanXL Well, I pointed out his bad form too - so however you want to call it...

[@njh18]

This game nearly drove me insane. I'm glad UCONN beat those guys. I'm forced to cheer for other big east teams in the tournament because my team can't seem to get past the elite eight, even with a #1 seed.

[@BCNation1]

GREAT COMMENTARY!:D

[@wikkywah3]

if its a good game it would be great if you'd review the celtics knicks game on tomorrow!

[@TheAngryDipper]

u should have done the unc washington game that shit was intense

[@bballbreakdown]

@loyalpackerfan90 They ran out of luck tonight. Ugly shooting to say the least. The playoffs are coming! Stay tuned for lots more.

[@SoxXxOwnsU]

Its a shame butler didnt win the Championship, it would have been the greatest Sports Story EVER, but wanna know what would be greater? Butler making it back to the Championship for the 3rd straight year!!

[@ultimatederon]

Great call by the refs on both fouls. They were the correct calls that had to be made if the players are going to put themselves in that position. Butler moves on.

[@Xiazinator]

4:23 you said "Gonzaga" not Butler

[@bballbreakdown]

@SlyCopper23 Having gone to Wisconsin, I'm pretty familiar with Illinois and Northwestern. I'm pretty sure NU will NEVER have a great basketball team. While Duke has managed to do it with high academic standards, Northwestern has never been able to attract those kinds of athletes.

[@bballbreakdown]

@Pan31PJ I can do my best - but I'm very ignorant of the NCAA players

[@bballbreakdown]

@austinmoore97 I Get it from the TV

[@jon-k97]

who do u hve goin all the way im with kanas

[@bballbreakdown]

@s067155987 With the way this lockout is going, looks like NCAA basketball is the way to go...

[@AJVersatility19]

@BluePaintedChair Yea watch more NCAA. They got some very skilled players. Plus it gives you a chance of becoming a fan of a player before he enters the league. If you want a start, watch BYU games! Jimmer Fredette is the most exciting player i've ever watched.

[@bballbreakdown]

@getsase OMG, it's not even close. Every college team plays better than the Clippers on offense.

[@seanceltics15]

@SoxXxOwnsU I thinkthat UConn's story is pretty great

[@hendo3755]

Ha that weird dreads dude on Pitt got crossed by Kemba

[@zechariahcameron3645]

Hendo Gary McGhee. He’s a good player!
