Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Mutherfucking free throws. Extra annoying to lose that way. Go Coogs or Aggies. Whatever. Well, at least they didn't blow it. They just didn't catch up via free throws. As a mostly-disinterested party, I though Baylor got a couple soft calls in the last two minutes on bumps fighting for loose balls...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Pretty disappointed that no college team is called the Browns. Or the Rice We could also use some Drakes. Would be a pretty cool nickname, actually. We kinda do with the Oregon Ducks. I was thinking more about the mythical beast that breathes fire - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_(mythology)

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
I hate the way they always schedule games on the first Saturday and Sunday. I really don't understand the way they stagger them such that it's a slow start, a gap, and then a bunch of games all overlapping.

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
In the Oakland game, I thought the ball did hit the NC State guys pinkie, but I thought it happened before the ball left the Oakland guy's hand. Not one announcer mentioned that though. Yeah, I agree. And, why didn’t they call that over-and-back? It seemed pretty clear to me that the Oakland player...

Nope. The last was in '81. UVA and Ralph Sampson beat LSU. It was played just a few hours after Reagan was shot.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 10:59 am And, if I remember correctly, it was the last one to have the 3rd place game.

As Bronto said, it's typically been 11 seeds, not 10s. But those 11 seeds have done pretty well. Two of them, VCU and UCLA, even made runs to the Final Four.

One game shouldn't matter that much. At least not for seeding. Houston earned their 1 seed. That said, getting blown out like that is really eye opening and should definitely affect their Vegas odds for a title.
