Great start for Gonzaga. Up 13-0 and Georgia already has 5 turnovers.

Boy you'd have to be a pants-shitting moron to pick Clemson as a surprise Final Four team.

Oh.

I didn't do that, but I do have the as today's Survivor pool entry. Figured McNeese or McDonald's or whoever the fuck they are would be disinterested knowing that their coach really has one foot out the door and that it's not just conjecture.

Kevin Willard had a simply remarkable presser today, more or less breaking the news that his AD is out the door to SMU, saying he won't sign an extension because of that fact and without improvements to the program, and complaining about not being allowed to keep the team in NYC for an extra night because the athletic department couldn't afford it.



Maryland will never not miss a chance to step on multiple rakes. They can hide their clownishness for a few years, but it always roars back.

Clemson reaches 20 points. With 14:30 to play .... in the second half.

That's Will Wade squared. Not only is he telling his team he's leaving; he's ripping the institution on the way out the door.

For fuck's sake, Georgia.

GU keeping its foot on the gas … Up 27-3 eight minutes into the game.

Zags up 27-3 at Sanford Stadium, er, Wichita.

Would love to know if an NCAA tournament game has ever had a score like 27-3.
We're still waiting for the first game in this tournament decided by less than 10 points. All duds so far.

The analyst on this Clemson game is doing heavy lifting about how Clemson isn't out of this game yet.

Willard's last Seton Hall team got its dicks blown off by TCU in the first round of the NCAAT b/c everyone knew he was gone to Maryland. Wager accordingly tomorrow.

It has been noted by others on social media whose names I cannot recall that nowadays, players for a team whose coach is leaving for a bigger job will keep on playing very hard in hopes he'll take them with him.
