Refs Blow Another One

After watching the refs cost Maryland the game last weekend, I hoped they would not factor in any games this weekend. But then they gave the game to Memphis on a very cheap touch foul at the end of the game. Wow. That was terrible.

NCAA – Day 3

Wow! What a day. The third day (Saturday) of the tournament has been nothing less than exciting! Maybe it’s because today is Saint Patrick’s Day. Anyway, every game of the day was close. Even the UNC game which ended up being a 14 point game was much closer than that. Almost all the other games came down to last 2nd shots or overtime (3 out of 8 games went to OT). Today truly was March Madness!

Then my high school alma mater made their state championship interesting by giving up a 12 point lead with 5 minutes left. Then the gave up a 5 point lead with 10 seconds left in overtime. But then in second overtime, Ryan Click hit a 3 as time expired to score his first points of the tournament and win Maryville High School’s first basketball state championship ever! Congratulations Maryville!!

I hope your brackets are doing well.

CBS Coverage

I just wanted to comment that so far the CBS coverage of the tourney has been very good; better than in some past years. If games are going on while YOUR game is at halftime, they take you to the GAMES rather than talking through them. What a concept, but they seem to get it this year.

Plus the local CBS logo in Knoxville (WVLT) is much smaller and less of a nuisance on the HD channel.

Not to mention the free streaming of the games not on your TV (www.ncaasports.com/mmod).

Good job CBS.
