National anthem cringe

[Mr. Nielsen]

Wonderfully done! Beautiful.

Flo Thamba running away with the Coolest Name award.

Absolutely. 

[MuggsyB]

Suggs needs to give that up earlier. 

[MuggsyB]

Baylor's quickness is a huge prob early.

[MuggsyB]

Uh-Oh.  Suggs with 2.

[Herman Cain]

I view all game through an MU prism if possible.

I hate to say this, but I am rooting for Baylor. Probably the only time in my life rooting for them.

I would prefer to see Indiana as the last team with an undefeated season, since they  beat a great MU team in 76  to get there.

[The Sultan]

Uh-Oh.  Suggs with 2.

Charge call was garbage.

[MuggsyB]

Mitchell is big-time.   I think he will be an excellent NBA player.  The Zags look a step slow.  They better wake up....and in a hurry.

[MuggsyB]

Charge call was garbage.

That was a bad call.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Uh-Oh.  Suggs with 2.

His head is not in the game.

[Mr. Nielsen]

That was a bad call.

I would have to see it again. Look like a good call.

16 To 4 Baylor leads

[MuggsyB]

Baylor is throttling them.  Getting any shot they want.  Speed kills.  And speed combined with shot making equals death.  They had their C game early in the tournament, now they are hitting on all cylinders.  Now you know why I have been a strong advocate for kids with handles and prime-time burners. 

[GooooMarquette]

I thought they got that call right.

[We R Final Four]

Yes. They won a FCS National title in 2009 and have sent some prominent players to the NFL (Howie Long, Bryant Westbrook).

Yes—they do play football at a lower level. Are they a football school? Cmon.
Howie Long? He played there in the 70s dude. That's your proof of Nova being a football school??
That's like saying North Dakota St is a basketball school.

[rocket surgeon]

  wow!  good thing this is a "school night"

[MuggsyB]

The Zags D is an absolute disaster right now. 

[Oldgym]

The pace Baylor is forcing is nuts.

[GooooMarquette]

Baylor's defense has been absolutely phenomenal.

[MuggsyB]

That block looked clean to me.

Speed
Quickness
Speed
Quickness
Speed
Quickness

The Zags can get back into the game offensively but don't look like they can guard them at all.  What adjustment would you make?

[MarquetteMike1977]

Granted am cheering for the Zags but Baylor seems to be able to chip and bump away on with out anything being called. Seems like a loose whistle except on Suggs.

FWIW, that last foul call was a clean block by Baylor.

[Herman Cain]

Baylor looking way more athletic tonight.
