NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Regional Quarter Finals
Sorry. Distracted. 140 – 52. Tournament Record (121, Men’s or Women’s) shattered. Not 3:1. Not 149+ (most points ever, Men or Women). Room for improvement. A-. I don’t think there’s a team on the Men’s side who can hang with them if they swapped today. Even less so if they had a few months to …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2, Round of 64, Evening
Let me say I’m pleased as punch that the Orangemen played their way into the big dance. I haven’t made many predictions today (they’re mostly wishes anyway) but I’m highly gratified when they make me seem not quite such an idiot as I actually am. Wednesday’s Results Seed Team Record Score Seed Team Record Score …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Evening
Once again the Women get snubbed by having only the one Network (ESPN) and even only one Channel (ESPN 2), the second best one (though some would argue who wants to watch Sports Center 24/7 and I would be forced to agree) at that. It’s not like Disney doesn’t have dozens of Channels on your …

Once again Play Ins are a non-factor this afternoon. I won’t overwork this intro because it’s already got a ton of energy in it and I need a nap. Today’s Games Time Network Seed Team Record Seed Team Record Region 12:15 pm CBS 7 Texas A&M 20 – 12 10 Providence 21 – 13 West …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Afternoon
Look, the Women’s game is just superior if you care about Basketball at all. Sure UConn is dominant and part of it is that they play from the Tip straight through because of their conditioning but it’s not like they’re bullies in the Paint- this is not Hockey. They rebound with authority at both ends …

What “Yes” Is
Crap. I don’t do “Breaking” and I have more than enough to do to get my Basketball pieces up on time but I happen to be up and this was just on- As they say, the important bit is at the end. “Was she threatened in any way?” “Yes.” “Was she threatened physical harm?” “Yes.” …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Evening
The winners of the 2 Play In games that took place Tuesday are appearing tonight. It’s hard to call any of the Play In games upsets because they’re between 2 identical seeds but normally teams that win in an upset are marked with an Asterisk (*). Teams are presented higher seed to the left, the …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Afternoon
Gaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ok, this installment is complete. It takes you through 6:45 pm. None of the winning teams that played Tuesday night are appearing until the evening so the results are not relevant. Do I have some favorites? Sure. Rhode Island because they’re Rhode Island and I live in Connecticut, plus Oklahoma. Wright State because they’re …

Alas it is time for what is probably our final installment of Zack Morris Is Trash unless I can find another cache on YouTube. You know, the 90’s was not such a bad time for TV. You could have been watching Babylon 5 or Buffy or Golden Girls or Wings or The Simpsons instead. Ok, …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2 Play Ins
As it turns out I have a rooting interest today, though I don’t expect much will come of it. I’m a pretty fair fan of Syracuse because I spent several years working there as a Life Guard and Water Safety Instructor. Never went to see a game live either at Manley or the Dome (or …
