Zags and Zav tonight.  Or Xags and Xav.

Still marvel at how Xavier outlasted Nova. The tournament is such a crapshoot with so many factors beyond coaches' control. They really should not be judged so heavily on how they perform in the same. Lousy metric by and large.

Like anything, making absolute judgments over small sample sizes is silly. 

I would say though over longer period of time the legends tend to show success in the tournament while the lower tier coaches don't (or not in a sustained way).  Its a great measurement tool - and I believe a guy like Izzo has proved it...

Michigan, WVU, KU, Arizona.

How to win over New Yorkers...

Nigel Hayes on NYC: "I don't really like New York. It's too big, it's dirty, trash everywhere, too many people. It's cold right now."

Dude whines about everything.  Saw a video of the Rodents getting off the airplane in Buffalo and he's sitting there talking about how they get to the NCAA Tournament and he has to go somewhere even colder than Wisconsin for it and how he's not happy to be walking through snow.

Here's an idea.  Hit a jumper for once and you can actually get paid to play basketball like you think you are so entitled to do so.  Otherwise, take your education seriously, major in Italian, and get paid to play overseas and put your education to use.

Thankfully for him there are smaller towns in the D-League.

Early on, I was a fan of this kid. He seemed refreshing from the tight-pantsed, cry about every call, formulaic Badgers. But the more he talks, the more he seems like just a different sort of whiner. What a putz.

+1 complains after every call

[cheebs09]

There's been a lot of press about him suing the NCAA. I think it was on Outside the Lines today. I'm in full support of the "Stop Nigel Hayes" campaign by Anonymous Eagle.

[GooooMarquette]

I wonder if the rodents had to hire a special trainer to change Hayes' diaper.

Michigan has to stop settling for contested 3's

clearly a BAC reader and not a step tracker.....sheesh

add: Gonzaga is getting jobbed on TO's

[wadesworld]

I actually find myself rooting for Gonzaga.  I hate watching WVU.  Can't score in the half court and just play the Seattle Seahawks style of defense.  Foul on literally every single defensive possession so that the refs can only call the most blatant fouls or WVU would have to forfeit before halftime due to their entire roster being fouled out.

[Oldgym]

Longest replay stoppage ever.

[wadesworld]

Longest replay stoppage ever.

Yeah, on something that was as clear as you'll ever see on a replay.  That was really unnecessary.  C Webb spitting truths.

[GooooMarquette]

WVU started taking panic 3s too soon, then when they had no choice but to take a 3, Zags did a nice job covering the perimeter.

Should have driven the open lane for a quick 2 with 20+ left....
