At the complimentary breakfast he started hitting on her and she said "Who the hell are you?" went back to her eggs and sausage. In Vitale's voice: You gotta try the eggs and sausage!

Augie Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 It’s a good time to be retired! I think the game I want to see the most tonight is UCLA vs Gonzaga, and that’s going to be on til midnight! I don’t know how I don’t know anything about Florida Atlantic or how they ended up in the Sweet 16. I expect Tennessee to give them a drubbing, but that is why they play the games, and what makes this tournament so awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game was another good one I freely admit I don’t watch much outside of the Big East, so it’s fun to see a lot of new teams and players. When was the last time Kentucky won anything? He gets top recruits but wins very little for the talent level it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finality of the one and done format plus the fact that many impactful players will never be heard from again is very compelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going back to look, but I think it was about making free throws helps you close out a basketball game. It’s winning time. Like being able to run when you have a lead in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Nowell continues to amaze. He just made what might be the best basketball pass I’ve ever seen. Spinning toward the basket he fit the ball thru a hole in the defenders smaller than a hoop to his guy under the basket. This is pure entertainment!

That’s the key in March Madness: play your best ball when it matters most. If Creighton can get past San Diego State the Big East will have half of the Final Four. Not too shabby. Big IF though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF a blue jersey touched the ball as it went out of bounds it is a Moot point. But I thought there was a smalll amount of time left on the clock. I wasn't sure HOW they decided the game was indeed over. I will say the foul preceding when the Aztec went to the line was a clear foul by the Creighton player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creighton player also may have stepped over the line before he released the ball on the throw in. Either way I agree there appeared to be either .2 or .3 seconds left when the ball hit out of bounds. Strange call to end it, but it wouldn't have changed the result of the game.

This was interesting to me. Gene Steretore (sp?) just explained that the black line is still good if you are out of bounds, because it it the edge of OB, but still OB, where the passer was supposed to be. Charles doesn’t like the foul call. This was a doozy!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) as a followup in the post game discussion the sideline referees went to using a stop watch to hit the button exactly as prescribed by rules determining just how much time had elapsed. THAT measurement was what decided the game. NOT what we actually experienced on TV. Interesting. And hubby says the referee cannot swallow his whistle at the end there either. Because by doing so you actually are penalizing the offensive player. It should not matter the time logistics. A foul is a foul. NCAA basketball Final Four I WILL be watching ...this is so cool.

Talley56 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Had Texas winning it all in my NCAA tournament pool. I was hopeful for a while there as they had a strong lead but hats off to Miami.
