What do I think of his &*%&% performance?

 

The worst. Never shuts up.
The play by play guy forgot the score at the end of regulation. Said Diakite's shot was "for the win."

 

I honestly don’t think he had entertained the possibility of UVA getting in position for a 2. He was expecting a desperation 3. I was, too. That was a hell of a ballsy pass by Clark. Grant Hill-esque.

 

After rewatching it, it might have been the play by play guy who got it wrong.

 

Is it just me, or is the CBS feed frozen for other folks, too?

 

It was amusing to hear CWebb extol the virtue of playing hard
During the Fab Five days, the thing that bugged people wasn’t the baggy shorts or the bald heads.
It was that they only played hard when they felt like it and their talent was enough to win most nights

 

These regional finals have made up for a lot of chalk.

 

Biggest problem of the WBB championships exposed today. Both No. 2 seeds won close games over the No. 1 seed, thanks in a very large part to a major home-court advantage. Their games just don't draw at neutral venues.

Has their ever been a regional final matching two bigger cheaters than Pearl and Calipari? They could almost field their own Elite 8 of programs they've gotten on probation; certainly a Final Four.

 

I was surprised Oregon couldn't sell out in Portland. They wouldn't have even sold out playing in Eugene.

Sports Illustrated usually gets grief for limiting their women's hoops preview to a top 10 - but looking at the regional finals all featuring the top 2 seeds, it kind makes a lot of sense. There really is a gap between the top tier - the middle tier - and everyone else. And given that most teams (even the best) don't use all of their scholarships, you would think that would help spread the talent around more.

 

That last play was a "refs gotta catch a flight moment" if ever there was one.
Yeah, the game was over with a six-point difference and about two seconds left, but the Kentucky guy bear hugged the Auburn rebounder to draw the foul and the refs didn't call it. Even the Auburn guy looked surprised there was no whistle. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

 

Does anyone think Cassius Winston, as good as he is, can play in the NBA?
I have him like Mateen Cleaves and Kalin Lucas
Just not athletic enough
