Sadly, the one area I have not been in a very long time.

No worries pbi!  I need to find a joint there Saturday and you are the STG.  (Scoop Travel Guru).

I would be absolutely shocked if Alabama made it out of the first weekend. They have won their last three against sub par competition by the skin of their teeth. Most likely a 1 seed but the sec is weak and wouldn’t doubt a 8/9 from a power conference knocks them out

I would not be shocked at all if Alabama made it out of the first weekend.  They'll have the best player on the court and they'll be playing a mediocre team in the second round.

[tower912]

Rico can help you find a joint. 

[lawdog77]

LOL.

Hey pbi,

Restaurants bars in San Diego?  Is there an MU bar?   Ty.

Mavericks Beach Club usually has a Marquette crowd for games

This is the best stat I've seen all week:

If Antoine Davis scores 26 points on Thursday night at Youngstown State, he will break Pete Maravich’s D-I points record that has stood since Jan. 31, 1970.

If Antoine Davis scores 2,721 points on Thursday night, he’ll overtake Maravich for the career points per game record.

That's an effective way to make that point. Davis certainly has every right to be proud of his accomplishment, but a little perspective is good.

That's not near San Diego but ty lawdog.   I live fairly close to there so should try it sometime when I golf in the area.  Oh...I didn't realize there was one in San Diego!  Thx.

Yes it is. It's in Pacific Beach.

Yes it is. It's in Pacific Beach.

I was thinking of Mavericks Beach where I wrongly assumed the restaurant was near.

I posted initial suggestions in the restaurants thread in SuperBar.

He was amazing, averaged 44.2 per game his final year (1970). MU played LSU and Pistol in the NIT semis that year. We crushed them 101-79 and held Pete to his second lowest total of the year (20). 12 of those came at the free throw line.

A recap of that NIT, with this description of the MU team: "Coach Al McGuire and his hungry, angry urchins from Milwaukee": https://vault.si.com/vault/1970/03/30/the-upstaging-of-pistol-pete

Pacific Beach is a fun area.

You’re welcome.

Rootin for UW-Milwaukee in the horizon tourney.

But holy cats. 5 min into the badger Purdue game and a total of 4 points scored?
How is that allowed?

[MuggsyB]

How long have the zebras looked at the end of the Rutgers/Minny game? 

[GoldenEagles03]

Purdue isnt a real title threat IMO.

Seeing the season age and they just aren't that good.

Edey and a lot of nothing else.

Luckily for them the Big Ten isn't good either.

I could see Purdue losing again tonight. 

[PGsHeroes32]

This MIchigan/Illinois game is wild. Neither team wants to win. But they both sure as heck dont want to lose either. Whoever gets down. Responds right away.

Rutgers with an epicially bad loss. Didnt just lose to Minny. But blew like a 10 pt lead with barely a minute left.

[MuggsyB]

Purdue doesn't look like the same team that they were earlier in the season. 

[mugrad_89]

Their freshman guards are wearing down.

30 seconds left and needs 6 more.  4 fouls and team down 4.

Came up short.  Chucker.  7 of 26. 4 of 16 from 3.

Good point.  Edey has to get some help if they expect to go deep in the tournament.

I saw the end of it and ended up glad he didn’t get it.
