But he enjoyed himself.

I agree with that. I also wonder why any top notch college coach would want to coach in the NBA. 82 games? Way too long plus crazy travel. In college the coaches are the focal point. In the NBA they're mostly an afterthought. In many cases the college coaches make more money. Admittedly NIL and...

If you chugged a beer every time Dawn Staley barked about a refs call you'd be wheeled into the ER by halftime.

She's dropping dimes and they're missing layups.

The five women on the halftime panel - they all SC grads? Yikes.

As for your last sentence that's how she rolls. Been doing that for years.

I agree there is an upward trajectory over the last several years and it's all good. But you only have to look at the games where Clark isn't playing (in terms of ratings) these last two years to see the impact she has had on the sport.

Not to mention that the US population has grown by more than 50% since 1979. I was just pointing out the distinction between ESPN's highest ratings and the overall highest ratings in college hoops when it comes to the NCAAT. ESPN has never done a Men's F4 game. I tend to think it's a one-off...

Incredible ratings but the highest ratings on record for the NCAAT was 40 million for the Michigan State/Indiana State game. This game last night was the highest rating for an ESPN game - women or men.

That was embarrassing. Then Scott Van Pelt and Taurasi were waxing poetic on how Clark would struggle at the next level because "she'll be playing against grown women." Instead of appreciating Clark's talents and achievements they're hating on her. I can understand Taurasi a little bit with the...

You could say that about 80-90% of players in the NBA.

Seems like the appropriate level.

I don't know about that but Lebron doesn't help the cause with his foolish comments about what Bronny is going to achieve in the NBA. Let the kid be a kid and don't put pressure on him.

Two of the top ten players in the country.

I'm sure there will be growth but how much of the current excitement is sustainable without Clark? The ratings on her games are off the charts while the others? Not so much.

Yeah I had the feeling she'd back in a few minutes. Bit of a drama queen - both of them. :)

LSU has terrible team chemistry. Lousy passing, inability to find the open player or exploit Iowa's lack of size down low. They're a mess on offense.

I wish the bigs would be more involved, college and pro. I'd like to see balance. In the NBA a shot blocking rim protector is kinda useless cuz the big on the other team will launch 3s on the shot blocker so that he ends up nowhere near the bucket.

Part of that is the NBA has little interest in low post big men like they did back in the day.

Nah the less with more mantle is securely held by Leonard Hamilton. Not sure how he keeps his job.

He's having a rough day but he's normally pretty solid, particularly on the defensive end.

This guy Knecht is kind of a good player.

Yet they employ all sorts of ACC alumni on their broadcasts. Jay Williams, Seth Greenberg, Jay Bilas to name just a few.

Lucky to win? They led pretty much the entire way and were up 11 with < 1:30 left. It was a fluke that that game went to OT. And the refs called every foul under the sun - basically fouled out half of Houston's team and they still won over a pretty good A&M team. But for you to minimize Shead's...

You could see it in the Houston players' body language. Some of them looked defeated when Shead went down. He's the best PG in the country so no doubt the Dookies caught a huge break.

When I read those comments by JB I can't help but think back to his assessment that the recruiting class from two years ago was the best he's ever had. No question that one of JB's greatest strengths was his ability to evaluate talent and see upside potential. Lost something off his fastball in...

I agree with most of what u say but Houston was a legit top three team. I think it's quite likely they'd still be alive if Shead didn't get hurt.

JG should have more opportunities tomorrow cuz Bama is just not a very good defensive team. His problem is going to be on the defensive end where he might get abused.

Those two had horrific nights. So much for veteran experience.

They got plenty of calls their way last night.

Sounds like a football game.

Kevin Hollerin' Harlan gives me a headache.

Gambling losses can only be used to offset gambling winnings.

We'll see how they react in a very tight game rather than a romp.

Now he tells us.

Maybe you'll be right but from here on in the competition is likely to escalate.

I agree. UConn is a good team and the proper favorite but they're far from inevitable. They will be severely challenged at some point soon.

Reynolds did not play PG for SJU this season so comparing assist #s is not completely fair. I watched Reynolds a lot cuz my son graduated from SJU and I can tell you he is a far superior offensive talent to Mintz. Explosive athlete, much better shooter.

Shots fired at Birds' fans? I resemble that remark.

We'll know the women's game has fully arrived when they can hold all of the NCAA games on a neutral or semi neutral court.

The NCAAT is bullet proof. Even the corrupt NCAA can't screw it up.

Shead is Sherman Douglas with a linebacker's body.

He recruits players that completely buy in to his philosophy and enjoy practices that are comparable to a football practice. Btw Shead is the best PG in the country.

Marquette/Colorado was a good game.

He's like Desmond Howard with college football. Says a lot of goofy stuff that makes no sense.

When did we reach the point that it takes nearly two minutes to shoot a pair of FTs?

His struggles on defense would seem to fit in nicely at JMU. Their defense looks horrific today.

My condolences. :)

Grand Canyon and JMU.

And manages to ever do much of anything from year to year and still keep his job. Sorry I couldn't resist.
