CBS some how manages to pick the worst jokes out of their terrible sitcoms to make ads with.

Seeing Dean Norris in a generic Chuck Lorre sitcom is also weird.

Looks like Loyola 3 point shooting broke Baylor. 0-6 on 3 pointers

Edit: jinxed!!

Its seem Mark Emmert got what he wanted, elite players are bypassing college and finding other paths to the NBA.

I feel bad for Charles Matthews most of all. MVP of the West regional which helped get JB get serious offers from the NBA and Charles couldn’t even sign a autograph for some spending money.

Can someone give me a broad strokes recap of what decided the Loyola-Oregon State game? I’m Michigan loyal and had to watch our ladies (who played a heck of a game).

I can’t believe it was still a sweat.

This Nova-Baylor game looks like it’s going to be a good one. I like some of Baylor’s players but can’t root for that athletic department. So going with Role Player U.

Loyola missed their open threes, OSU made their contested long twos.

Thanks. Was Oregon State a tough style of play for Loyola or did the game mostly turn on shooting luck?

Our ladies did play a heckuva game! We channel surfed but, when my wife called the the Loyola/Oregon State game for OSU, we stayed with the ladies through the end of regulation and OT.

I have an idea. Do the tournament one year in great old BASKETBALL venues, forego a few bucks in ticket sales, and really have some drama and flavor in the games. These games in football venues where no one can make buckets. . .

All of today’s games are being played in basketball venues. Also, Michigan had no problems shooting in Lucas Oil on Monday.

Wait, you’re not specifically talking about today. Never mind my comment.

Arcidiacono is killing Nova

I stand corrected. Thought this was Lucas Oil. And I’ve been reading for two weeks about the terrible three-point shooting in these games. Still think it would be neat to do all the games in great old venues.

This one is in a great old venue! :wink::grinning: (Hinkle Fieldhouse)
