    There's not enough competitive integrity yet throughout a 64-team women's bracket, and I say that as a fan of the women's game.

    In the 30 years of the 64-team women's field, 12 seeds and lower have won 42 games. In 39 years of the men's 64-team field, 12 seeds and lower have won 161 games. I don't think that gap would have been closer with neutral sites in the early rounds for women.

    Local U has hosted first- and second-round games several times, and there have been first-round games that would not have been competitive had they been played in the losing team’s practice gyms.

    Do the Aggies bring up a couple of Yell Leaders for March Madness, or are those Christian Brothers University students cosplaying as milkmen?

    Da faq just happened? A&M had one second out of a Houston timeout and tied the game?

    Why in the world did Buzz call timeout with his guy steaming toward the basket with 13 seconds left, trailing by four?

    A good question. Been asking the same thing for years.

    But Wilt and Shaquille O'Neal were also mediocre free-throw shooters.

    Yes but this was a whole ass team. A&M “improved” to 29-for-45 at the stripe but lost in OT when Boots Taylor went on tilt.

    I feel like Tara VanDerveer has looked 61 years old for 40 consecutive years.
