CBS commentators are garbage every year. Most of them don't watch a college game all year and then try to give us their insight after watching a few hours of tape.

Is halftime always this long in the tournament? It has been 25 minutes and counting.

Why does a delay of game against Kiss benefit then by allowing them to setup press D?

I like Lavin. I think he’s good shit, and always incredibly complementary of Arizona and the PAC-12.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

My favorite part of this terrible excuse for a basketball game is how they won't shut up about Peter Kiss, whos team is down double digits.

Fair enough, probably just Avery dragging him down these First Four games.

This has actually been a pretty entertaining game IMO. Fast paced, decent shot making, some slick passing. Sure beats the hell out of that Wyoming/Indiana schlock I watched last night. Maldonado had one of the worst games I have ever seen from a high end starter.

Such bullshit that conference winners have to play an extra game. First Four should be the last four at large teams that got into the tourney. Not the University of the Sisters of the Poor who then gets rewarded by having to travel to play Kansas on one day’s rest.
I’ve never understood the system.

I sort of like that 16's get a first rounder. Most 16's have zero chance to win a game. This gives a 16 a W every year in a competitive evenly matched game.

So we have a 3% chance of our season ending Friday? That's disheartening. If I had to roll a 100-sided dice and have to clean a bus station toilet if it rolls 9, 31, or 85, I'd sweat that out.

Providence a 4 seed, Is a 2 point favorite over the 13 seed. Something wrong with those seedlings. They should just let Vegas do the seedings

11 seed Michigan is a 2.5 point favorite over 6 seed Colorado State.

10 seed San Francisco is a 1.5 point favorite over 7 seed Murray State.

I don’t understand either of those lines except that I think Vegas takes into account the betting interest amongst people who haven’t watched college basketball all year.

I wish I could do that. But I'm going to need to pack because I'm moving next month, and I need to work at night. I still have about 8 years until retirement.

CSU relies on chuckers. Their big men don't have a lot of confidence in the paint. I am not impressed with Michigan either.
