Surprise surprise, Nantz get Duke.
Surprise surprise, 2 seed Duke (ranked by the committee 8th) gets the weakest (#12 TTU) 3 seed.
Thanks Red for posting the times.

I mean… no one is legit worried about Duke. Chances are Texas Tech won’t have to either.

The ncaa needs to give an explanation for this. Because this is either incompetence or something worse.
Either way this is not a good look in the slightest and CSU deserves a public explanation for this shitshow

I get that the NCAA is a hateful institution, but this feels like outrage for the sake of outrage.
The tweets immediately after those you’ve highlighted here indicate that they have their travel schedule and will be in Indy in plenty of time to prepare for their game.

Nope. "It's not a good look in the slightest and we should all be DEMANDING an explanation for this shitshow."

I love how Matt Norlander, the Edward R. Murrow of our age, implies that his tweet thread made it happen just like that!

Saw this on reddit. Interesting way to put together a bracket based on the stats you like.

That is so cool. However, my settings had my Friars going down in the first round, so now I'm not so sure!
There is no Cinderella rooting interest in these playin games. Tournament doesn’t really start until Thursday. I mean I’m rooting for Wyoming but it’s not the same thing as rooting for them against a 5 seed.
And that warmup game, woof!

Awesome game between Notre Dame and Rutgers. The Fighting Irish win in Double OT on St. Patrick’s Day.
Mike Brey called it the best game he has been in. Speaking of that, did you see how far onto the court Brey was with about 10 seconds to go when ND had the ball?

Is there a good site to get a split screen of all current games? I realize only one is happening now but planning ahead...
Looks like ncaa.com has a fast break option (4 games) if you have a provider log in.

Michigan's size gives them some problems. Moors should probably get more time covering Dickenson in the second half because he's getting far too deep into the paint on offense. If CSU can shut that down a bit, they're the better/deeper team overall.
It's annoying that the NCAA Final Four app on Apple TV let's you watch all of the games in split screen, except for the CBS broadcast (which is in Paramount+).
Friars hold the vaunted offense that is the Jackrabbit offense to 23 points.
Still expect it to come down to the end.

Minaya settled down nicely on D after overplaying early and allowing a lot of backdoor cuts. Watson is a mixed bag. Reeves has been bad. Better to be up 8 at the half than chasing that's for sure.
The 4 games, 1 stream function on ncaa.com doesn't seem to be working either. 3 games ongoing and I can only get 1 on my screen.
OK, in case anyone cares, the 4 games, 1 stream function on ncaa.com is like the red zone channel where the studio host switches games and it's not an actual 4 game split screen. Kind of sucks.
Great defense by the Friars last 3/4 of the game.
but that foul call on the three when it was 57-60 was brutal

The three shot foul on SDSU happened when they were down 57-60 and snuffed out any chance for a meaningful last possession. It was a brutal call.
Can anyone give me some insight into the Richmond vs Iowa matchup? I could name about a half dozen ncaa hoops players before Richmond started their A-10 run, so I'm trying to pretend to care...
Per my brother: Iowa is a fantastic offensive team, great shooting, crappy D, kind of similar to Duke in that regard (better shooting though). They like to play at a fast pace. If Richmond slows the game to a crawl it could get frustrating for Iowa. They want to run and gun.
Richmond down 3 despite Iowa shooting only 8/22 overall and 1/9 from 3. doesnt bode well for my spiders
Really dumb play by the guy from Memphis not to just let that ball go OOB. Not mattering but still really dumb.
Penny Hardaway needed this one. Gonzaga will crush them, but he needed something to show from those top recruiting classes.
They're an AWFULl team, coaching wise, which is why I had them losing. Like, realllly reallllly bad coaching.
