I see Michigan State is playing really late.  I remember those days when we were in the West.  Back to back Montana classics.  Was actually tired of the tournament by the time the Michigan game started.

after a day one spent lol-ing at people picking calipari and mccaffrey teams, i'm here and preparing to take my lumps.

yes, i picked a freaking bruce pearl team.

bruce pearl's entire coaching philosophy:

  1. cheat your ass off in recruiting, and
  2. just roll out a bag of balls at practice and wing it during games.

just a prosecuted version of calipari.

I really want the Fighting Sister Jean's to win this game, but every time they show their coach I have angry flashbacks. Same punchable face his brother has.

Gotta think some of these takes to the hoop by Loyola are drawing some foul contact but they aren't getting anything.

Oh Ohio State is allowed to play physical and do what they want?  You don't say.

This isn't to say Loyola hasn't played like overall dogshit.  Missed layups are ridiculous.

This OSU-Loyala match is the most boring basketball game I've watched this year. Snooze fest. 44-32 with just under 6 to go in the game?! Wake me up when it's time for Notre Dame to lose.

While it sucks that OSU won, at least we don’t have to endure another tournament with Sister Jean drivel. And, this win will probably get OSU fans hopes up about a deep tourney run, only to watch their team get demolished by Villanova next game.
