"Alright, alright, alright" in my best McConaughey impression.

UNC is over Butler 52-36, halftime.

It's a big deal since it probably hasn't happened since the 50's. A little northern school that came out of the woods to beat teams in the big city..... Heck, when I was in school they had class A and AA. Now they go up to 5A, the real big schools. We're A.

Watching NCAA hockey tourney too. UMD is trying to make it to the Frozen 4, the Final 4 of B-ball..... Playing Ohio State. 0 - 0 after 1. Goal waived off for Ohio during a PP...... Last years champ North Dakota lost today....

Now back to regular programming......

UNC is moving on.

#7 SC leading #3 Baylor by 18 with 6:47 to go!

Doesn't matter to me since my whole East region is busted....

Have you worn out the back button on the remote? You gotta be flipping back and forth!

SC is cruzin'! My East is pushin' daisies, too.

Wi is hanging in there against Florida. A 2 point game, now 4 up for Florida.

UCLA down 8 with 7 minutes left.

UCLA didn't rally.

You can watch the rest of the WI/FL game now.

Well, Musky - You had some extra viewing time. Florida wins by 1 with a 3 at the buzzer in OT, 84-83. A heck of a game!

UCLA Kentucky was the first game of the tournament between 2 teams in the top ten.

BIG14 is all done.

The finish of the second half and OT in the Florida game was amazing.

If WI could shoot a free throw, they would have won handily. They were terrible..... Hayes shot 50%. Thought they had it with 4 sec to go.... Knew FL would get a shot off, but still...

They had a graphic up that WI was 332nd out of 335 teams in free throw percentage in the country.

They actually shot better than their season average.

Ruh Roo...... They just said Mpls is moving to AA next year and the coach wants to go up to AAA. Pffft, what a mismatch now. We're A..... I was wondering earlier why Mpls was only a class A. Now I know....

Oh well, that's that... I guess Mpls beat a bunch of 4A teams during the regular season. Average post season win was by 63pts, average state win over 50........ Ya think they're in the wrong class?????? We're only losing 1 senior. We'll see what happens next year...

Still very proud of the Grizz......

Didn't think Oregon would be this good after losing their 3rd best player and best rebounder in pac12 tournament
