Now THAT'S the way to close out a half.....Clones putting on a clinic!

But how about all the turnovers by the Cats......

Love the cameraman showing the Cyclone band after the win. Did you see the two cornet players with the yellow hard hats?

First band I have seen with a bass guitar player; kid was laying down some beats.

8:45 Central Time, in Alabama - that's close to prime time though, isn't it?

Having two teams who are playing in the eastern time zone start at 945 local time is idiotic in my opinion. If they were tipping off out West at 645 local time, it would make sense. Yes, I understand that it would still be 845 central either way, but it is like so many other little things with the tourney these days...dumb. Again, this is only my humble opinion. Carry on.

Would you rather have more games overlap?

Would you rather have more games overlap?

Yes, so if one turns into a blowout, there is something else to watch.

BS call - Iowa player should have been tossed.......commentator can't see where the fist lands because of the ball in the way....idiots......

 

[DzynKingRTR]

St Johns Kansas was fun to watch.

St Johns Kansas was fun to watch.

The first 30 minutes was brutal though with horrible shooting and terrible passes.

 

[Bpilktree]

Iowa is impressing me with their ability to control the inside vs Florida and their size.

 

[CajunCrimson]

Is Ament throwing the game? Sure looks like it.

 

[CajunCrimson]

Would you rather have more games overlap?

Definitely. They could have started at 11, 12:15, 1:30, 2:45, 4, 5:15, 6:30, 7:45

 

[DzynKingRTR]

No perfect brackets left.

3 SEC teams so far in the S16

 

[AlexanderFan]

Tennessee with the 25-11 free throw advantage. Just so much inconsistency.
