UConn - Florida was still a whale of a game, though. Games like that are why we watch the NCAA's.

Didn't they try that at some point? Maybe in the mid-2000s? It flopped hard, IIRC.

I recall one year around that time they had the men's final in Seattle and the women's in Tacoma. Another failure.

Every foul late in a game by a trailing team is an intentional foul.

Yes, and no time ticked off the clock. Should be an automatic five-second runoff for a deliberate off-the-ball foul in the final minute.

I like that suggestion. Maybe give the fouled team the choice: two free throws and possession or five seconds deducted from the game clock and possession. In either event, restore the shot clock to :30 if relevant.

In the NBA an infraction like this is one shot and the ball, I believe.

Builder of men. It's all about character.

He's completely forking unhinged, but he's honest about it. Give me 10 Dan Hurleys over one Coach K, whose piousness and halo concealed his ability to motherfork officials (oh, and cheat too) like no one else.

Dan Hurley is the ultimate asshole.

So the 16 is going to be BiG/SEC with special guests Houston and BYU? Deal me out. Even if Colorado St. does win. It is amazing how it all flows downhill from football. On paper you would think the Big12 would be just as strong as the Big10 and SEC with their line-up, but the players follow the money.

I miss brackets with the places the games are taking place. I realize the pod system made it a little more difficult, but its not that hard. Also, the conference hosting the West regional next week? The Pac-12. Boy, that's awkward. Like helping a buddy going through a divorce move out of his place, while the EX is there, awkward.

Yeah, those things are years in advance. By 2028, Greg Sankey/SEC will host all sites since he f'ed up the whole thing/
