Ah, the Big Ten in March.

I’ll say what’s on everyone’s mind: Lily is obviously pregnant, why not just run with that instead of covering it up?

I just wish there were a different beneficiary. My seventh pick in our tournament draft was the best available. I texted it in as "Blech. Liberty (13)."

It drives me nuts that that woman is insanely hot IRL and ATT makes her look as dowdy and lame as possible.

Guess we just guarantee the ACC and Big 12 a minimum of seven spots and the Big Ten zero.

For such a great coach, Roy Williams can hardly get anyone to play defense.

She's also gotten a ton of online harassment, so it's very possible that she said she would only continue doing the commercials as long as she felt she wasn't being objectified.

So, these Buffalo Wild Wings commercials they play constantly. They show a number of NCAA basketball players. Should they be paying these guys for appearing in their ads?

I hadn't checked the line. Yeah, winning by 27 in the tournament is asking an awful lot. Texas Southern can score, they just couldn't consistently stop. That's a crazy line.

I got a little nervous when it got to 22 but as short handed as they are I didn’t expect Michigan to keep its foot on the gas.

PAC-12 is 5-0 right now.

(I expect that will go the other direction in upcoming games, but pretty cool for now.)

What was the point of having back-up teams when they announced the brackets?

Well I think asking Louisville to show up in an hour would have been problematic. Even if they had been in Indy.

I think the point was to have a full field after selection Sunday but after Tuesday it was locked in.

I thought the backup teams were only there if a team got COVID-canceled before the Round of 64 started.

I'll take being down one at the half, especially considering how cold Ohio's been behind the arc.

Good game so far.

That first half was a great example of just how much better the Big Ten is than the Big East.
