I think I knew this at one time, but totally spaced that Hubert Davis is Walter Davis' nephew. Walter was my favorite player growing up in Phoenix.

Got to hand it to Bacot - just playing injured is impressive, but he’s playing great!!!

Absolutely amazing how different tournament games are officiated versus regular season games. Hand checks, bodying, grabbing, arm bars, bumping cutters…

KU is doing to UNC in the second half what we’d do to TCU and Houston in 4 games out of 5!!!!

This is what steams my clams. Sean Miller Fired, Will Wade, Fired, Bill Self.....NC. Give me a break. All because Kansas pretty much just said screw you NCAA. Bet nothing happens to them either now that they pulled off a Natty. What a corrupt joke.

For someone like me who's had a major ankle injury, watching that injury was worse than any horror movie.

All right, if I hear the frickin word "spurtability" ever again I might throw up.

It has been completely ruined by Remy Martin. The only word anyone could come up with to describe him. Heard it 40,000 times in the last 3 weeks.

It must mean streaky as hell.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Ask yourself the following questions:
1) Is this a terrible idea?
2) Does this sound ridiculous enough to turn into a late night tv skit?
3) Will this decision lead to the potential demise of the sport?

If the answer to any/all of these questions is “yes”, the NCAA is probably truly considering the idea. 🙄

It probably makes less money, lots more teams and travel and food and hotels and goodie bags and weight room time and a bunch of first four type games.

It dilutes the pool of money too. Probably less good for the teams that make it and their respective conferences.

The TV contracts run through 2034 or something right?

Nothing happens til those are over.

Most I can see is 76 teams.
