2024 NCAAB - MADNESS

[Contentious C]

Clemson!

Yale making things hard for Auburn and just took the lead on a 3.     We need a live shot of Barkley at the studio because he can't be happy

For an Ivy League school, Yale played one of the dumbest last 15 seconds in a long time.  Luckily for them Auburn couldn't shoot the foul shots to win.

Yale! Had them winning this game in my bracket! Also great to see scumbags like Pearl and Calipari get bounced in the 1st round. 

[Cobra Commander]

didn't know that they could have a college basketball game with both teams over 100 points these days

[Contentious C]

Might have 2 with the Alabama game pace of play.

How I long for the days of Loyola Marymount vs Michigan.

I'm hoping Rippa is awake and watching

St. Mary’s loses to the premiere online school in the country. Frauds.

In the "nothing beats a good college rivalry" category, around 8 to 9 thousand pieces of Oakland University merch has been to sold in the last couple days.  To the city of Louisville

Spoiler: they accidentally learned "Boomer Sooner" but no one noticed the difference.

I love that the Idaho band has a banjo player. There's "on brand" and then there's that.

But just moments after their great triumph joy turned to despair as the university announced it would soon be moving to Las Vegas.

Ahahahahaha. Say what you will about the NIL rowrbazzle, but this is amazing.

Gonzaga has led Kansas by as much as 27 in the second half.

Kansas led at halftime.

Meanwhile on the women's side off court, Kim Mulkey of LSU took time in her pre game press conference dismissing a story about her in the Washington Post.  When you have a two page response in a press conference for an article not even out, some crazy shit must be coming in this article

at the risk of guessing, the Mulkey thing and her response has to be something where she's gonna be accused of using a bunch of racial slurs or something, isn't it?

[Kevin Wilson]

Another good basketball day, only one upset based on seeding (barely) but can't complain about two OT games. Course it is the late game that goes to 2OT, wonder how many casual watchers tapped out before the conclusion.

I was at work so I didn't see it, did Oregon just flat out run out of gas in the second overtime? Have a bunch of players foul out?

[Cobra Commander]

60 of Oregon's 73 points came from 2 players. So you have one non-starter who played 42:58 with 0 points, 1 rebound, 3 fouls, and 2 missed shots to go along with the starting center playing 48:25 with 28 points and 20 rebounds. They had a starter play 38 minutes without scoring (3 missed shots and 5 rebounds).

There's apparently a bunch from former assistants. I imagine there will be stuff trashing her for how she handled the Britney Griner legal stuff along a myriad of stories detailing her as an arrogant POS. 

I thought her quotes from the press conference were hilarious. She simultaneously complained about not having time to respond while also saying she'd been refusing to talk to the journalist for two years. 

She's a piece of garbage so I'm eagerly awaiting the article.

I know former players in the past have said she told them to hide their sexuality if they weren't straight. Wouldn't be surprised if that's part of this.

I have never understood the scheduling of 2nd round games.  Always just one game at 1 and 3.  You have half the games of a day in night 1 and most of the time finishes later

Clemson!! Yes Schieff(lin)!

[Pete]

To the Pittsburghs, St Johnnies and Oklahomas of the world: this is how you REALLY protest getting snubbed by the NCAA. Sycamores are now 31-6 after taking out SMU, Minnesota and Cincy and they will send half of Terre Haute to Hinkle for the NIT.

Must have been watching too many Britpop videos recently because I'm watching Robbie Avila and thinking "What if Jarvis Cocker of Pulp was a center?"

Seriously? Blur? Wth?

[Zimbra]

He'd rebound like common people do.
