The warm up to the main event. Get your comments in early because this probably won't be close.

So a pose a question...

Most annoying commercial of the NCAA Tournament?

Likely answer: ALL OF THEM.

 

...I don't understand why they can't get more money and switch these up like the Super Bowl.

I'm going to set the alarm for 8:45pm and go take a nap. At 8:45 this game will probably be 39-38 with 5 minutes still left on the clock. Only walk-ons will be playing for both teams because everyone else will be fouled out.

For the board's information, some of the halftime stats for this rather ugly (so far) game:

  FG% 3FG% FT%  Eff. FG% Off. Reb. %
WICHITA ST. 32.14% 30.00% 83.33% 37.50% 36.84%
LOUISVILLE 40.00% 30.77% 55.56% 50.00% 28.57%

Seven Louisville turnovers have definitely helped the Shockers some as well.

Clearly I don't know how to find old posts. I tried clicking on the page numbers at the bottom of the page and I tried clicking "next" and it doesn't bring up the next page of board topics. I wanted to post this in the thread about the Adidas shirts, but can't. Whoever was upset with Adidas making these got their wish, but the way it went down is completely asinine.

I had been in favor of the players lawsuit against the NCAA (O'banon) but not sure now, if they are going to pull crap like this through the lawsuit. The reasoning behind it is completely rediculous, since Adidas was going to donate any profits to the Louisville scholarship fund.

I wish they would stop playing up the whole "They're not intimidated" angle. This isn't the '80s or early '90s when top seeds were stocked with future NBA stars or college legends. This is the era when a team like George Mason, VCU, Butler, etc. does something every year. Anyone who is a 12 seed and above are relatively equal.

 

Unless you are MSU playing UNC or Duke.

I'm terrified that the dome might be the best component of Cuse's defense... although we did very well in Texas so IDK....
