Oh well, Dusty May will get a job offer by 9 p.m. ET tonight.

He probably already got one.

Jeez, Johnell Davis wasn't close to his Vegas Over/Under Points (13.5).

He had 8.

Now teams seeded #9 or lower are all-time 0-9 in the Final Four.

Clearly, we need to expand to 128 teams.

Also interesting is FAU called TO (twice) to set up their final play and didn't score, while SDSU let the play go - even without their top scorers on the court - and hit the winning shot.

Where else can you get such insight as “that Butler can deliver”.

Probably his best moment of his career unfortunately lol. But any game he is announcing for OSU I just put closed captions on.

More focused on running the clock than scoring. I think they lost confidence during their 6 minute scoring drought.

He already signed an extension last week with FAU he will back next year and unless anyone transfers out only Forest is a senior.
I am not sure why Martin didn't get the last shot he was the one making all the shots tonight I know FAU has many good players but Martin had 26 pts. Tough brutal loss. True mid majors (UNLV don't count from 1990s) will never win a ship I thought FAU could do it this year up 14 what a painful collapse they will live with the rest of their lives.

UConn is going to whomp the shit out of SDSU after they get done stomping Miami in this game

I thought both timeouts were dumb. There had been a timeout after SD St scored with about 36 seconds left. At that point, don’t you tell them the play and when to start it? They called timeout at around 17, and put the 7-footer in, whom I assumed SD St would foul, even without the ball, since he was 1-5 from the line and the pressure would be huge, But when they couldn’t in-bound it, they took him out. Maybe it’s only the NBA that has the rule that you can’t sub a guy both in and out unless some time goes off the clock. And they shot it at 10 seconds left, which gave the Aztecs enough time to get a good shot.

Did everyone go to bed? UConn up 13.

 

[Dee-Liem]

I get the same feeling as Miami's Elite Eight game.

They're just going to keep chipping away at this and eventually tie it up or take the lead.

 

[Dee-Liem]

I assume that compulsive gamblers who have money on Nigel Pack bets want to either kill Adidas, Pack (himself), or the equipment guys.

Nothing like a 10 hour power outage on final four Saturday. Looks like I missed a helluva first game.

Apparently we had a tornado today (spoiler: we didn't) and it took them all day to fix it.

Better in winter/spring than the middle of the summer (in terms of long power outage).
