With UConn being the top #1 seed in the men's NCAA Tournament, an exception is being made and we will have a thread for the men's tournament on the main board. Normally we would put it in "Off Topic".
Let's keep discussion of the men's tournament, including UConn games, confined to this one thread, please.

For extra credit, how many people can identify who Meyers is quoting? (Don't give the answer away, just respond "yes" if you know, I'll let Meyers reveal later. I think several will know, but it will be new and interesting to those who don't) |

I'm likely going to have to miss the Saturday game, too. Worse, I stupidly scheduled departure (at least it's for France!) on the day of the national championship. But I'll catch ESPN's highlights of Paige making the winning basket.

We'll be in Iowa visiting family (season tix holders, Clark fans, big shock, right) during the Final Four and Championship Sunday. So either we will be watching one of/both our teams playing....or no basketball at all. In a perfect world, UConn would play Iowa on Champ Sunday, but....Iowa won't make it that far (don't tell the family I said so).  |

My bracket is performing better that Jay Bilas.
Don't expect that to last. (which is why I'm announcing it now)

The first rounds only get you 10 points per game. Only if you picked a team to go deep that loses in the first round will it really hurt. |

On to games
Oregon leads SCar 78-65 with about 2:00 left.
Creighton by 17 over Akron. The Bluejays only missed 20 shots all game, going 19-17 from 3.

Calipari going down is always nice for me.
That it's an SEC team adds a cherry.

I'm pretty sure that I know the answer to Meyers's anecdote, which, I believe was first related to a large audience in 2010.
