Tony Benford coaching LSU.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

What’s with the short nets? I hate that, keep waiting for a ball to get stuck, so 70’s.

I feel like New Mexico St/Auburn has been at the half for three hours. I'm not complaining as it's easier to watch the other two games at once.

They* say that the tournament doesn't officially start until you get your first correct pick on your bracket.  Thanks, LSU.

I mean you have probably the most talked about 1st round match up of the tourney..Morant vs. Howard. A game that will end the first session of the day at all sites, so they will have some TV time all to themselves...and they assign a crap broadcast team?? WTH??

Sitting at a table in the hotel lobby before the pre-game, and this is what I overhear next to me from a guy who is obviously on a conference call for work:

(Paraphrasing) “Sorry about the noise in the background, evidently there’s some sort of Final Four thing going on at the hotel here today, so i apologize if things get louder.”


A Marriott lobby in a first round host city a few hours before the games start and you expected quiet?  Rookie move, outside sales guy.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Carter Blackburn, Debbie Antonelli has been one of the eight teams the last couple of years for CBS/Turner. They are the 8th team. Most fans don't dislike them, while also not a fan of them. Just meh. Average. Solid. No mistakes.

Well, there not crap. Please. Yet, teams #7 and # 8 are normally sent out west.

I hope we don't: look beatable. I hope we hit 7 3s in our first half.

I really like Reggie Miller and the team with him, Harlan and Bonner.

Bunch of snooze games so far, maybe FSU falters or something. 

Auburn holding up well.  SEC vs WAC and New Mexico St has like a 20 game winning streak.  Just like Murray St, long winning streak in the OVC.

I'm not jinxing us or anything by any means, but watching this Florida State game, I feel like if we played them, we'd either win by 20 or they'd win by 20, and there's no in between.

NMST Pg not knowing what the score is with 5 seconds left is best play of the ncaa tournament.

Wow. New Mexico State passed up a wide open lay up to tie. Pass it out for a three and Auburn fouled the shooter. Made only 1 of 3.

Auburn in full mental masturbation mode.  Up 7 with 56 to go.  Turnovers, missed free throws, fouling at wrong time, gives up a three as opposed to fouling, then just fouled guy on a three with two seconds left.  Poor NMS guy then misses two of three free throws to tie or go up one.  Auburn holds on

5 vs 12.
