    So, what time does the game actually get started?  I'm betting Maryland- Grand Canyon goes to quadruple undertime and we start around 9:00.

    Should start on time since there is no game on truTV before them. There was a break. Maryland - Grand Canyon was on TNT.

    While I'm talking about commercials, the new capital one with Kareem is awesome

    The Passive Progressive ones are also kind of funny, and who knew Mississippi had their own Jalen Sullinger?

    The talk in Cleveland by guys who are super closet the program, like Bud, was that a big was headed to Akron. No one would say who, but hey said we are very close to getting him. Stay tuned.

    A chance at an actual starter big (combined with a lot of the returners we have) might have @NWAkron willing to stand directly in front of the T-shirt cannon.

    I think that the United States treats their territories terribly, but it doesn't mean that it isn't confusing that Puerto Rico has a national team (as does American Samoa). Just as confusing that when FIFA runs the world cup that Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland can all get separate teams.

    I love it!!!  Freeman has not been playing with the Pacers and probably just got called up.  Amazing how he was able to come off the bench and sink both free throws.  So in the box score Freeman will probably have 0 minutes and 2 points.  Do not see that very often.

    He did have zero minutes but also zero points. Because he took the free throws for a player who was ejected (Nembhard), he actually gets credit for the points. Weird.

    After rewatching the final, I know you can say this about a lot of players who play well, But the Zips do not win that game without Amani Lyles. He was so clutch in so many ways, he must have been watching Enrique because 14 rebounds in 26 minutes is dog work. Six of them were offensive rebounds, which is the same number as the rest of the team had and only one less than Miami had. Plus obviously his clutch rebound at the end with that fantastic outlet pass. But he was also the guy boxing out Miami when Nate Johnson made his game tying shot near the end. Just an amazing game for him for somebody you just never thought was going to be that kind of a contributor last year. The Cavs had the Block, the 3 and the D, the Zips had the D, the Outlet and the Euro. 😊

    Politicians wasting tax payer dollars on trivial things because it thinks it will gain them favor come election time is an American pastime. It's not really anything new. Social media being more prevalent is what gets us talking more about it.

    I would just like to see it get to the discovery phase so they can release all the transcripts of all the discussions that were had.

    Hard to sneak up when you possess nearly every quality found in a Cinderella/Bracket Buster. Outstanding guards, athletic roster, and depth. Not to mention Groce has been there done that. 

    All we're lacking is a serviceable backup big. 😉

    The "Committee Talking Head" was none other than North Carolina's Athletic Director.

    Yes but he wasn't "in the room" when North Carolina was selected because there's no way there could be any back room dealings or any deals made without him there. Pisses me off that Boise State beat St. Mary's Clemson and San Diego State, and were left out while North Carolina with exactly one quad 1 win was included.

    Came here to post this.  Unbidden, too.  He wasn't asked, "who are some dark horses to look out for?" He was just riffing in general.  👍

    Also a shot of the Zips winning the tournament as they went to commercial.
