"we're not going to break any rules" is a low bar in the era as there are none. Cinderella is dead and Disney killed her.

Chattanooga won the NIT last night all because some player from UC Irvine was too proud to use the backboard.

That choke cost me 100 bucks. Well, $5, but I was already spending my winnings in my mind. :lol:

Conn beat South Carolina handily. But the greatest joy this weekend is watching the University of New Jersey at Durham choke in the final 4. Again.

On to the Masters.

I’m amazed that more teams don’t attempt the same type of in bounds defensive pressure that Houston used at the end last night. I’m a believer that a team might lack the shooters needed to win big but most any athletic team can ramp up the defense.
