With Musselman moving on from Arkansas, Kentucky coach John Capilari leaving to take his job at Arkansas. Was definitely on the hot seat after the Kentucky performance over the last couple of seasons.
Every time Capilari leaves one school for another I have this vision of the NCAA right behind him...

Xavier with a great comeback to get into the dance
Plus the stripes were horrible with several calls favoring Texas.

This is the first telecast of the tournament without Greg Gumbel on it in 40 years. That makes me sad.
It’ll be weird not hearing his iconic voice.

St. John’s really likes to play “rez ball”. Defense followed by some run and gun.

The term "rez ball" made me remember this movie, which is very good. Yes, cliched, yes, formula, but also, yes, good.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Thanks… I’m definitely going have to see it!!!

UC San Diego… Genuine excitement and appreciation at its best even after a heart breaking loss.

I am by no means a basketball expert. I have seen the same situation twice today. Team down by 5 with 40 seconds left and has to play defense. They let the other team tick off 10 seconds before fouling. Then they’re down 7 with 30 seconds left. Admittedly the odds are slim, but still extend the game as much as you can. It’s almost as if the players have to look at the coach to tell them what to do.

What a come back by the Houston Cougars to beat Duke and advance to the Championship game!!!
Down 14 points (56-42) in the second half they end the game on a 28-11 run to win 70-67.
They where down 7 (66-59) with less than 1:20 left but go on a 11-1 run over the last 1:14.
Duke losing last night was classic. And reading the social media comments from Duke fans is even better. Plus I have Houston winning it in my pool.

On paper it should be a very good game tonight. Personally it comes down to Houston’s defense preventing Florida going on 90 second runs where they score 6-10 points a run. Florida is favored by -1, was -1.5 after Saturday’s games The o/u is 140. Excluding a blowout and garbage time points. Under 140 Houston wins, over 140 Florida wins. I’m taking Houston wins and the under.

Looking at my group pool, I taking second place, even if Houston wins tonight. One of my sister-in-laws is going to win. She lives in Atlanta and picked all SEC teams to win. She picked Florida to win. Along with all SEC teams in the Final 4. Reminds me of a friend of mine gf at the time, now wife. Back in college or shortly after. She picked the winners by mascots and won our pool!!! \
I've heard this before, where someone has no clue of who's who. And picks by mascots, team colors, only certain conferences and so on and wins... lol!!! I won't say how my wife picked her teams this year... I'll just say she was done after the second day of the tourney... lol!!!
And yes... she laughs about it too!!!

Definitely playing in the hands of Houston. Houston could slow the game down. Houston's 3 point game tonight is horrid. Though their mid range game is out playing Florida’s big game.

Kelvin Sampson is the Bob Motzko of college basketball. Tremendous coach with very good, contending teams… and comes up short. And probably has the same kind of fans who wants him fired, but can’t name a replacement.
