NCAA BB tourney

She's the real deal. 41 pts. later, IA upends unbeaten SC by 4. Entertaining ballgame! IA & LSU in the final, Sunday at 3 p.m. I believe.

I’m try hard not to laugh about Glenn watching the women’s final 4…. At least someone is watching.

They were doing a "megcast" on ESPN2 similar to what the Mannings did on MNF this year. Heard 'em say over there that the tickets to the women's Final 4 were selling for almost double what the men's were. I'd bet the TV ratings are way up too.

Clark scored or asissted on almost 3/4, 57 of 77, of Iowa's points. They never missed a FT, either.

it was a fun game to watch. i'll be watching tomorrow and pulling for Iowa!!!!!!!!! both games were good actually.

[glenn57]

crazy ending to that first mens game!!!!!!!!!!!

[KEN W]

Wow.....great win. Really tough loss. 

[dutchboy]

crazy ending to that first mens game!!!!!!!!!!!

Who played?
Who won?

[glenn57]

Florida Atlantic vs San Diego st. San diego was behind by 14, won by 1 on a buzzer beater.

Interesting Final Four....
2 number 4 seeds
1 number 5 seed
1 number 9 seed

No one from the top 15 teams in the country made it.

No one from the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, and Pac 12 in the Finals. Definitely the Final Four underdog tournament.

[LPS]

That is great!  Good for those guys.

[Gunner55]

 U Conn was in control right from the start of game 2.

[glenn57]

U Conn was control right from the start of game 2.

yea looked that way........i got tired and didnt even make it to half time!!!!!

[Dotch]

Horrid officiating in the NCAA women's final. A total embarrassment regardless of who wins. NCAA should be ashamed.

[roony]

And terrible sportsmanship by the winning gang of thugs.

[glenn57]

  probably a good reason i didnt get a chance to watch it!!!!!!

[dutchboy]

And terrible sportsmanship by the winning gang of thugs.

Keep in mind that school is always optional for LSU athletes.   

[Gunner55]

watching the womens final 4. that Iowa team is pretty damn good. there giving south carolina a good run for there money.....the clark gal is something else!!!!!! they get by SC they should win it all!!!!!!!

find it pretty interesting......Iowa has all white players/starters........SC all black!!!! and then white women are fast as hell!!!

  Thanks glenn!!!                  

[glenn57]

kinda early yet but UConn is running away from the Aztecs!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Yeah & it was 12 @ the 1/2. SD got it within 7 early in the 2nd 1/2 but not for long.

[Steve-o]

I was checking in and out of the game, so I didn't get all the pre-game and post-game hoopla, but I didn't realize it was Jim Nantz's last basketball game call.

Jim Nantz's dream 32-year Final Four run wraps as iconic voice of March Madness soaks in final moments

[Dotch]

Had heard that. He's been a mainstay for a long time.

The final was about like the women's final, anticlimactic only without the drama. The tournament itself was generally outstanding.

Hello friends!!!

Jim Nantz Always Carries A Picture Of Burnt Toast For This Simple Reason

...now is as good a time as any to revisit one of Nantz’s more bizarre habits.

It’s quite bizarre, too: Nantz carries a picture of burnt toast in his wallet everywhere he goes.

We know what you’re thinking: This is some grand metaphor for a time he got “burned” as a young broadcaster and came back stronger than ever. Nope. It turns out his reasoning is pretty practical, if a bit strange.

“I?m a breakfast guy: three eggs scrambled, with bacon and wheat toast, burnt,” Nantz explained in a March 2016 interview with Golf Digest. “The problem is, it never came back burnt. For years it would arrive limp and tan, which brought breakfast to a standstill when I sent the toast back. It was costing me 10 minutes a day, which, multiplied by six days a week, is four hours a month. That?s 48 hours — two full days — per year. My friends, time is currency.”

“My wife, Courtney, got tired of hearing me complain about it. She found a photograph on the internet of a kitchen toaster ejecting two slices of burnt toast. She minimized it, printed it out and had it laminated. She insisted I put it in my wallet. When I order, I present the photo to my server. I get some strange looks, but I can assure you, the toast now arrives black and scary, just the way I like it.”

A few years ago when Romo hit the scene there were some tense times as to who was the top dog in their announcing gigs. 

[Steve-o]

I reckon egos are always an issue to some degree or another when you get at that level.  The good ones figure it out.

[dutchboy]

There was never a doubt with me who the top dog was. Romo knows football. Nance can convey what he see's to a bunch of people who don't know football.

It was the same with Summerall & Madden, Buck & Aitkman.

[glenn57]

not sure if anyone else is reading some of this stuff but this Agel Reese from LSU womens team seems like a genuine thug!!!!!!

[roony]

Yes

[glenn57]

well this Clark gal did kinda do some flaunting herself in the SC game, but this Reese gal is over board to keep bringing it up... Clark is taking the high road. this reese lost my respect when she started talking ghetto trash!!!!
