They never even made a run in the second half. stupid Baylor. I knew Wisconsin doesn’t have the offense to hang with them. I was hoping for a fast Wisconsin start to get on Baylor.

The committee focked the Illini. Some publications have Loyola as a top 10 team. They should have been slotted higher than an 8 seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll have to look and see who they play next. They could make some noise here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 22, 2021 Racism still doesn't sell. March Madness ratings in the tank bigly. The demo rating is down by 50%. YIKES. https://tvline.com/2021/03/20/tv-ratings-ncaa-mens-basketball-tournament-2021/#! In the latest TV ratings, CBS’ primetime coverage of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament opening day — including No. 11-seeded Syracuse’s besting of No. 6 San Diego State — averaged 3.4 million total viewers and a 0.8 demo rating, a far cry from what the comparable night drew two years and one pandemic-related cancellation ago (4.9 mil/1.5) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 22, 2021 Jason Preston is why you need some kind of league between high school and the pros. As a senior he was 6 foot tall and 140 pounds. He hit his growth spurt in college and went to 6'4" and 185 pounds. Adding 4 inches changed everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 991 Posted March 23, 2021 My bracket had so much potential. Had Virginia losing.

We are talking about an 8 man draft where you snake draft all teams in the tournament. For example I had Loyola Chicago in my draft. They won in the first round as an 8 seed so all other players owe me 8 quarters. After the 2nd round win all other teams owe me 16 quarters and if they win in the 3rd round it goes to 24 quarters. I used to run it over at FBG before I was banned for some unknown reason. Now I run one at the bar I frequent.

I'll miss the game because I'm heading on a road trip that day, but I generally watch a lot of UConn Women's ball. Yes, UConn has been a dominant force over the years, but they've had some real cuties on that team too, dating back to Sue Bird. Now, I don't think any were has hot as Katie Lou, but Bueckers is definitely an attractive young lady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
