What's with some stations having the possession arrow on the screen & others not ? You would think they all would just have it on there.

Illinois has 13 second half points, and a 4 point lead with 3 minutes left. :lol:

(LaSalle won despite only scoring 19 in the second half)

Good thing for Illinois that Colorado collapsed down the stretch. They hit the boards hard, but Illinois was able to get all the defensive rebounds.

Wonder what the crowd is going to be like for that Miami-Illinois game in Austin, TX.

What's funny is how Miami was supposedly higher on the seed list as a #2 than OSU, yet the Bucks got Dayton and the Canes were shipped even farther from home to Austin (about 150 miles and 2-3 hours longer to drive). Who says the NCAA doesn't get anything right? :)

They could hold the games in Coral Gables, Austin, or Vladivostok and get about the same turnout from Hurricane fans.

Amusing article on the "basketball gods":

NC State's apathy angers hoops gods

Or to be more precise, there are gods. We know this beyond a shadow of a doubt, and we can thank college basketball because this March has proven all-powerful spirits rule over the game. After a regular season without rhyme or reason, the gods of basketball gave us a sense of order this week, asserting their wrath on the teams who?ve broken their commandments.

From a courtside seat for North Carolina State?s trademark inconsistent performance that brought an appropriate end to a big fat letdown of a season, it was obvious that one thing the gods do not abide is a hugely talented team that dogs it for a good chunk of a game.

But we will get to how North Carolina State offended the college basketball gods in due time. First, a few of the other commandments the gods of college basketball have revealed to us this week:

? Thou shalt not be arrogant. After Kentucky won the national championship last season with an underclassmen-filled roster, we crowned the Calipari Way ? get the most talented freshmen, win the national title, see them off to the NBA and reload ? as the way that would win the next dozen or so national championships.

They were ranked No. 3 in the preseason, which was pretty presumptuous for a team that lost six players to the NBA and had four freshmen as top minute-getters. The arrogance continued with a worshipful all-access preseason show on a national sports network. Then they started playing, and the wrath of the basketball gods rained down on them. The gods gave Calipari?s squad a final dose of humility with a first-round NIT loss at Robert Morris.

? Thou shalt not play boring basketball. Sorry, Bo Ryan.

Does UCLA go for Stevens?

Why would he go there? His style of play is similar to Howland. And he's turned down big money at places where the expectations and demands of winning are far less. He can stay at Butler forever and he won't get let go, and now that Butler is going to the Big East he's just been "promoted" to a power conference coach anyway.
