My guess is UConn gets beat by Kansas and the AAC is done. But we, the conference, really did not perform that badly. I know the final stats will only show wins by conference, but our guys did ok, and with a little bit of fortune could still have 3 in today.

I have not seen it yet. Was it that close that it can still be questioned after reply?

As far as I can see, the refs made the right call. Even though the ball was in the basket, the uc player still had his hands on it. Tough call, but I think the refs had it right.

Anyone else watching UConn women absolutely dismantling Robert Morris in the first round of the womens tourney? There are still 5 minutes in the second quarter and it is 55-7.

McDuffie gets a lot of run with Wichita St. He's turning into a nice player. Would've been a nice guy to get.

BTW, WSU forgot to wake up this morning.

I don't watch women's basketball for that reason.

Looks like the refs missed a call on the play.

KU has a bad history of looking past teams. UConn has the talent to move on.

I'm probably the only person this bothers but why is it so hard to keep the correct score on the tv display? Of the many games I've watched this year, it happens in over half the games. The two most common mistakes made by the scorekeepers are adding the points scored to the wrong team and waiting at least :10 to realize someone scored before making the change.

Message to the scorekeeping interns: I know this job gets in the way of texting/tweeting your BFF/girlfriend/boyfriend, but you're killing me. Please pay attention to the game and do your job. (Getting off my soapbox now)

Pretty much every kid our staff just missed on is a major player. We're evaluation monsters. I'm glad UT lost, don't care about A&M. Offer Wichita a hoops only spot in the American tomorrow. Great tourney,myou make your own luck. Cincy should have played D yesterday. They made a decent, but not great, Deandre Bembry, look all world. Bembry was another kid who had us in his final 3, like McDuffie.

Adding Wichita as a hoops only school would be a terrific move.

The replacement candidates for whatever combination of UConn, Memphis, Houston, Cincinnati leave are not very strong.
