Pitt with a put back with .7 seconds left to upset Stanford in the opening round of the ACC tourney. CBS had Stanford in the last 4 in and Lunardi had them in the first 4 out. They are eliminated now with this loss

That's funny because just yesterday ESPN CBB commentators were hyping up Stanford and saying they could make a run in the ACC tourney, upset Virginia and make the tournament.

I don't get Pryce Sandfort being chosen 1st-team All-B1G over Bruce Thornton. Pryce Sandfort is a JUNIOR. Bruce deserves any tiebreaker because he's a SENIOR. Yes, Nebraska finished higher in the league standings, but c'mon, being in a 3-way tie for second (a DISTANT second 4 games behind #1) doesn't make a player more deserving of 1st team all-conference honors.

Stat comparison:
PPG Thornton 20.1, Sandfort 17.9
APG Thornton 3.9, Sandfort 2.0
RPG Thornton 5.2, Sandfort 4.9
FG% Thornton 55.8, Sandfort 47.8
3P% Thornton 39.7, Sandfort 40
Stl Thornton 1.2, Sandfort 1.0

I fail to see the aspect of the game where Sandfort demonstrated superior performance individually compared with Bruce Thornton. This was a disgraceful choice by B1G coaches and Media.

The B1G all-freshman team was Wagler (FOY), Steinbach, Mirkovic, Frager and McKenney. Mingo from PSU was snubbed big-time there, not sure how he was not on there. While you can make a case for Amare Bynum, it's obviously a situation where they chose the players on better teams with similar production.

Really bizarre watching Peacock. They had the studio crew on even after the Washington-USC game that they're airing started, and I thought I was missing something. I didn't see any mention of them saying they had technical difficulties, but they apparently could not get audio from their broadcasters in the arena. The USC-Washington game had already started & I kept trying to go back and select the game to watch it live, and they had no feed at all of the game and were just showing studio analysis of upcoming games. Crazy. They finally just let the studio call the game before they got the actual broadcasters in the arena up and running 7 minutes into the game. Peacock is wack.
