Thank you, Tom. Michigan State with a good lead, sloppy play but they give their all on defense. MSU 59-45 MSU at 8:40.

Duquesne 38-30 BYU halftime. Did not see this coming.

How stupid are the Brad Garrett commercials for Jersey Mike’s?

Dukes looking good but long way to go. Up 14 with 16 minutes left.

So they sh|tcanned Danny DeVito?

 

[LionJim]

Duquesne leading by 3, with the ball out of bounds with 40 seconds left. Scintillating excitement.

 

[LionJim]

Duquesne wins. Wow. Great game. Duquesne must have made their last ten free throws.

Yes, he is. Knew him well. The Murphy family was colorful, to say the least. Enjoy, Maurice, enjoy.

For those who may not know, the Duquesne coach, Keith Dambrot, announced his retirement this past Monday. His last game in the tournament will be his last game as coach.

Close, but for me, today (and Friday and Saturday) is Mat Madness, following the NCAA D1 Wrestling Championship, with matches on the TV, on multiple computers, etc. I only check the MBB games for a bit between sessions of the wrestling.

I like when they show dudes like you and their multi screen set ups. You should send the network a pic

Michigan Stste looked good. They shot just okay against zone zone zone but made three second-chance 3-pt baskets in like ten minutes. They cut that zone up but I dunno how well they’d have done against man to man.

As to my leaving LionJim to run things in my stead, well, them’s the breaks.

Fixed.

He a good guy?

Yes. I think so. Solid coach that at Duquesne has limited resources and talent.

I would be hard pressed to think that less than 99% of brackets got busted.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

Rushchairman 14-2 today. Only losses were UK and Dayton. For sure I'll come back to earth tomorrow but right now I'm leading my bracket

 

[BobPSU92]

[BobPSU92]

I read on espn.com that kentucky has won just one ncaa tournament game since 2019.

Rhoades to kentucky.

Dang, you should’ve known not to pick the Jesuit school to lose.

Who knew that Kaintuck is Jesuit? Dayton is Marianist.

F me, how the hell could I have been wrong about this? Embarrassing. My SJ uncle would kick my *** if he were still around.
