    I didn’t have a ticket for the finals that day and in the hotel lobby I was asking around some of the Pitt administrators and staff if anyone had an extra ticket. One of the assistant coach’s wives tr

Wonder how it would've gone down had some of these schools opted out of their conference tournaments and saving themselves for the NCAAT?  

I am going to be fucking livid if the decision to have conference tournaments ends up ruining the NCAA tournament.

On the Ewing thing...when did  he last play pro ball, 20 years ago...so it’s quite possible some people working security were watching Spongebob when he retired.  
 

I agree with the sentiment that a giant like him probably looks like he belongs there, but even my 40 year old ass wouldn’t have necessarily gone ‘Hi Mr Ewing..:can I call you Patrick?...go right ahead sir, I totally know you built this place when I was 17 years old and worried about college, because all superstar athletes are required to be treated with deference and...oh man never thought I’d get to see you in person to ask this...remember that time you blocked a shot in this very building?’

Hell on the other end of the spectrum I may even be like ‘is that Patrick Ewing?  Not sure, I haven’t seen him on TV in half my life, so I’m going to check credentials to be sure I don’t want to get fired during a pandemic’.  
 

Don’t whine at a press conference about it dude. 

^ Yeah, I'd think Clyde, Willis, Bradley might have a thing or two to say about "built" this place. 

If Iona were to make it in, how fun would it be to see them matched up with UL in the 1st Rd?  What other hypo-matchups would be interesting?  

Okie St / Illinois?  

Buffalo / Bama? 

 

Damn, Maryland was up 36-24 with 5 min left in the first half.  Michigan closes on a 16-2 run and leads 40-38 at half. 

imo these kids should have all been vaxxed by now.  whether people like it or not the tournament is a massive business and jobs depend on it.  it seems pretty essential to make sure it goes off at the highest level possible.

MSU saved UK an ass whoopin' at the hands of Bama.  Thank you, Dawgs.

Good. I want Illinois to brutalize them again on Sunday.

Is a 30 point first half deficit bad? 😂

Shox struggling with USF, down 10 early 2H. 

Hopefully Bama has righted themselves for a run, they looked to have hit a wall there for a bit late in the season.  A UA/UA SECTF would be fun.

Apparently Juwan Howard just got tossed from the game. 

They still have Phil Martelli on the sidelines - no big deal in my opinion. 

Incidentally, I suspect that he's not getting nearly enough credit for the success of this team. 

Bruins have had just an almost comical trainwreck ending to the season.  4 straight losses to end the season, with second half leads, often big ones, in all 4.  Lunardi still has us in, but barely.

Apparently Turgeon doesn't like Juwan talking during the game. 


Rumor was he told Juwan not to hang any banners because they would just get taken down, but Turgeon denied that. I would have taken credit for it, it is a good burn.

Shockers survive 68-67, Bulls halfcourt heave misses the mark. 

This is a pretty good SMU team. It's a shame our season basically got wasted. I'd think we sneak in the tourney with a full schedule. Might need to win the tourney or at least get to the final to get into the 68.

Is that supposed to be an appeal to accomplishment? Because Juwan played in the NBA for 20 years.

Prepare yourself.  Ruined might be a bit strong, but we'll likely see a forfeit or a team with only 5-6 players get beat by an inferior squad. I'll just be happy if I get to watch some March Madness. It's the COVID tournament with no Duke or Kentucky, possibly no Kansas or Virginia.  Shame for Gonzaga if they finally put it all together and have to have an asterisk. But I suspect not one single Spokanite will care. I sure wouldn't. The only truly ruinous thing that could happen would be if the FF got derailed. I don't care if it's Purdue, Rutgers, Liberty and Clemson.  Just give me my one shining moment.

Florida's Omar Payne with a left forearm, spin, right elbow knockdown of TN's Fulkerson.  Punk needs to be ineligible for the rest of the season.

A coach simply cannot lose his cool like that.  Not a college coach.  Under any circumstances short of the other coach saying

This SMU Cincy game is fucking terrible basketball. We haven't played in over a month. Not sure what their excuse is. 47 combined points as time runs down in the first half.

He is a damn good basketball coach. I give him credit that he was able to be an asst. coach Howard.

Juwan is an asshole. Next topic.

Wasn't Martelli quite the dick to some St. Joes player who wanted to xfer out?

Yeah pretty bush league, but the rest of the season ?  Maybe if the season is one more game.  Hopefully his coach deals with him.

he means he's been coaching for 34 years and he's had three games like this, all with Juwan Howard-coached Michigan

The A-10 did it right. Held the tourney last week, at 2 venues in Richmond Va. and the final game is this Sunday in Dayton, OH. followed by a bus ride to Indiana the next day for bubble encasement by both teams probably.  

The tournaments should have all been held a whole week before selection Sunday to give them time to deal with the shit that's happening now.

May be scum of the earth as a person but boy can Pitino coach, Iona up 18 on Niagara at the half.
