Yes, CBS and their partners have always done the men’s tournament….but in the past…the first weekend (Rounds 1/2) there were always games all day/night long (Thursday-Sunday)…that was the whole reason why the first weekend was always the best….

Found it weird to see this afternoon only 1 shit/blowout game on CBS…..

Now, at least get to watch the Heels….hoping it’s a good night.

They do what they always do……get up/ and let teams right back in it…..with terrible defense/fouls/ and bad 3 point shots by Ryan/Cadeau……instead of doing what works for them like getting the ball into Bacot.

Playing better here the last 5 minutes/ subs Trimble, Withers coming in have provided a nice bump/hustle….

Great effort, but 2 guys aren’t going to carry a team in a double overtime game. Horrible coaching by Altman at the end of regulation, you need to have a better play to get the ball into someone else’s hands beside Dante. That said this team had no business even making the tournament so a good run to close out a tough year. Next year in the supersized Big10 is going to suck with all the travel.

That inbound fuckup is on Evans. He had two guards stacked and he panicked passing into Dante rather than let them get free.

Ya. I liked the all day Saturday and Sunday format. It was something for those of us that hate football.

Paramount Plus supposed had many streaming of the 32 games for the first 2 days (I do not have Paramount Plus) and the other games were on TBS, TruTV, and TNT if you have any and or all of those on your TV package- Cable, Satellite, or streaming Services... Becomes less important for those networks as they get to 8 games and less...

I realized a few tourneys back that I liked the viewing experience much,much more when ALL the games were on CBS and they had Picture in Picture in múltiple córners going and and would jump to whichever game had something big happening. I’ll take that any day over the current set up for excitement and compelling viewing

Man Purdue can do no wrong... guessing that 1st round exit last year is still pretty motivating

Isn’t Grand Canyon an online school?…lol. Where did they come from? or did a school get renamed?

Reminds me of all the charter/private schools we have here in PA that have popped up all over the place and dominate the PA public schools in our PIAA state championships lately. Everyone is like, where the heck did they come from?….lol.

Cousinard looked like he didn't know the ball was live on that inbounds.

I made the joke at a March Madness function on Friday that their biggest rival was University of Phoenix and absolutely no one questioned me so I repeated it anytime someone mentioned them.

That was him reverting back to his normal self. He played the BEST 1.98 games of his career along with Dante. IDK if you saw them play the regular season but they played out of their minds for the last 10 days. Can't blame that loss on coaching, the just didn't get any production out of ANYONE other than the main 2 and both ran out of gas in the second OT.

the more historic rivalry is university of phoenix vs. devry but your point stands.

Really hoping A&M can pull this out against Houston.

**ötzi** · 03-24-2024, 08:01 PM

Charles and Kenny didn't give any props to GC but those guys played hard and were distruptive

**Diamond Joe** · 03-24-2024, 09:23 PM

Man I hate to parrot the announcers, but... had the Aggies just been a LITTLE more cognisant of the 3 point line - just moved that foot back a fraction of an inch - it would be an 85-86 game right now instead of 83-86... Come ON Aggies!!!
