Did you have the audio up? When the fans started leaving early, I think Dicky V said they can't be frontrunners, haha. He was really shocked.

Yeah. The first 37 min was some of the worst basketball I've ever seen from ku, and I spent all day yesterday brutally hungover so sleep sounded better than finishing that garbage game.

Whoops

I sometimes turn the game because I have issues....but always turn back to make sure I don't miss the end.

Steelers/Browns playoff game

Duke/Maryland Final 4

Two examples I had to stop watching, missed the good stuff resulting in comeback...but saw the last portion of the games

I'd about have to go with Ohio U. effect, since after Campbell went down, they've had...issues with holding leads. Up by 22 over Western Michigan in the first half (and 10 with 4-5 minutes to go) and lost. Up by 25 over Ball State in the first half and wound up trailing briefly in the second before winning.

I hate when teams I follow do things like that. Drives a man to drink heavier, it does!

Carolina crushed State, 97-73. Roy Williams is now 32-3 against NC State.

Bad news is that Kenny Williams, who was injured in practice a couple days ago, is out 4-6 weeks with a knee injury. Basically, he's done for the season.

Jayson Tatum rising up draft boards with this performance tonight. Duke will probably win and he is the main reason.

Michigan beats Wisconsin. Please tell me why everyone was so up in arms about them being left out of the committees top 16 last weekend?!?

Somehow I missed that he was even injured. Then watching last night I was like where the hell is Williams?!?

It's a big loss, he was their best perimeter defender. Theo is going to have to step up even more now, which I fully expect him to do.

I wasnt. Hell, I've been saying the B1G may very well be won by an unranked team. Wisconsin/Maryland/Purdue...not sure who will win, but could be that all 3 are unranked.

Pitt beats FSU.

Like I said 2 weeks ago. FSU has zero chance to do anything if they don't find something that resembles a defense.

JJ Frazier from Georgia is a stud. Single-handily almost beat UK.

Carolina beats by Virginia by 24. Honestly didn't expect that AT ALL. Expected a close, hard fought win...never thought they'd blow them out.

Only saw the first half, but the Justin Jackson from the first half is a POY candidate. Unfortunately he's had too many games where he goes away in the 2nd.

And Virginia is still Virginia. But if Tony Bennett doesn't get another Malcolm Brogdon, they will never have great success in the post season. You can only go so far with that offense.

Virginia had a pretty terrible shooting night, but a lot of it had to do with Carolina's defense. They actually played with great effort on the defensive end. Obviously, when they do that, they're really good.

Tough stretch to end the season with Louisville, @ Pitt, @ UVA, and Duke. We'll see if they can end it on a high note.

Maybe Virginia will drop out of the top 20 this week.
