Cartwright's body control on that last break was incredible. He lost his dribble a little bit, which caused his feet to skip, and he still was able to elevate and hit the runner. Most of the time that happens, it's a brick or a turnover.

A day late, I know ... sorry if it was brought up yesterday

I'm picking Arizona to win it all as a 4 seed because of Deandre Ayton, who at 7-1 has NBA superstar potential. Plays so hard and smart for his age. Maybe I'm expecting too much too soon, but he's easily the best player in this tournament.

Providence doesn't have enough talent to not get on the floor chasing every loose ball.

What happened?

I did hear that the only time Auburn made the tourney and did not win their first game was when Barkley was there.
They did a little video with all of the Auburn players and all of them were all like, "Charles Barkley, who's that, never heard of him, Space Jam guy?" It was done with about 7 or 8 different players, so the repetition was pretty funny. Then it turned around and they all expressed their appreciation and love for Charles. The entire thing was very well done.

And, yes, Charle's Auburn team lost to Richmond (1984) and it was the only time they didn't win in the first round.

I dig that PowerAde commercial with the guy talking about cross-over. "You tape the game, watch it 2 weeks later--still break your ankles."

Yes I remember the days of 10-15 pages for a 1st round day.
Yeah, the first four days were must SoSH TV. I know it's slowed down in recent years but yesterday was really jarring. There was nothing.

Maybe Sprowl has a point about how it's better if this site has some edge.

That was a nice dunk by A&M. Steal leads to a turnover which leads to said dunk. Kind of killed any chance Providence had of mounting a comeback.

Georgia state out to an early lead! Was that the team that had the coach rolling on the scooter cause of the broken ankle or whatever?

If you’re a short white guy, Wichita vs Marshall is the game for you!

I want this Marshall lead to get out of reach, so I can switch over and watch Georgia State beat Cinci.
