Missouri needed to chuck. They had a good enough look.

This Missouri Oklahoma game has been weird the whole time

Lon Kruger looks exactly like Karl Malden. It’s uncanny.

Gotta think on Monday Michigan will get one of the earlier games because alot of West coast teams potentially playing Monday will play later Gonzaga,USC,Oregon, BYU or Ucla.

I have no hate towards UVA but the cruel side of me can’t help but wonder what the conversation sounds like if they lose that Elite 8 game to Purdue. Is Tony Bennett a choker, is UVA cursed, etc

For God’s sake, someone please get Mick Cronin an adult-sized face mask. I understand he has a small head/face (I do too), but he looks ridiculous.

BYU out here missing everything to start this game.

There’s been a thing in CBB circles I’m in that Viriginia’s style doesn’t work well for the tourney because of higher variance in their low possession games. Teams don’t have to get as lucky with their shooting. I don’t know if that was an opinion here, but I guess their title run kinda slowed down the roll. But yeah, if they bow out to Purdue there, I think that viewpoint is still very alive and very loud.

Whoa, didn’t know BYU had a Larry Bird impersonator

#12 on UCLA has made a strong case for worst player in the tournament

Let’s not forget that Joey Hauser was technically in the tourney.

Can you have a flagrant 1 and a flop warning on the same play?

Should…should somebody tell them?

Yeah, the thing about the machines coming for our jobs is that they aren’t even good at it…

The concern is that infected teams play, then spread and lose. The virus spreads undetected until the later rounds of the Tourney in the top teams. Worst case scenario. I mean you’ve got 5 days between Monday & Saturday…the virus can sit undetected for 2 weeks.

I hadn’t considered March with Moe and Cassius on the same team

Kisbert might make a run at the tourney scoring record.

Sarah Palin will be aghast.

BYU looks like they haven’t recovered from the second half of that WCC final.

PAC12 wrecking machine.

They sometimes don’t even have to play the game to win.
