That look on his face pisses me off every time. To me it's a " I'm Bobby Knight and I'm great and the rest of you suck" look.
I disagree, and I can't stand Dookie V. IMO, he's still miles better than Knight.
Give me McDonough/Raftery/Bilas any day. That trio is awesome!
This I agree with. I also like Clark Kellogg because he doesn't get caught up in fawning all over the coaches that are involved in the game. He just comments on the game.
Reggie Miller and the other NBA guys who announced the NCAA tournament last year were fantastic.

I could say something but you'll delete it.
Ok, so wait a second. I think the ACC/Big Ten challenge matchups are set by either last year's standings, or this year's pre-season rankings. I forget. Either way, there is rhyme or reason to them.
So for the Big East/SEC event, how does St. John's wind up getting paired up with Kentucky for goodness sakes? How does the number one team in the SEC win a date with a team that was nothing more than a pretty good Big East team last year, and, because the team is now mostly freshmen, is ranked even lower than that at the start of this year? Huh?
Why doesn't Kentucky get Syracuse, or UConn, or Louisville, one of the Big East top 10 teams? Jeesh.
I get that nobody knew that two of St. John's top recruiting class wouldn't be eligible until late December, and that nobody knew their coach would need to sit out games early in the season. But still.
If someone said 'hey, Kentucky and St. John's...two of the storied programs in NCAA basketball...both in the top 10 in all time wins...let's get them together'. Fine. But that should have been done at the Garden or, better yet, on campus at Carnesecca Arena.
End rant.

Special shout out to teams like Purde, California and Nebraska...having the stones to travel to a mid-major's home court. Good stuff.
Sorry Iceberg, no Utah State on TV this weekend at all! I guess they figure with my cousin somewhere in the South Pacific, converting people to Mormonism despite her almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, there isn't as much reason to show them.
Enjoy!

Nebraska and Creighton play pretty much every year, I believe. But yes, for them to go to Creighton is nice. Its an intimidating venue actually. But of course, it will have a lot of Nebraska fans present.
Sandra - I hear you. The only thing worse than majors not going to mid-majors? Majors who won't play @ majors! I'm looking straight at Durham on this one, because K WILL NOT PLAY UCONN IN CT. There's an offer from them to play @ MSG.

Dont forget about Verne and Raft. They are excellent on College Basketball as well.
Its funny John Feinstein has a book out about, I believe Coach Knight. He was on WFAN with Mike Franseca and Feinstein bascially said that Knight was a bully. The thing is as good as he is as a coach, I think I will piss off the wrong person one day. You might get someone half his age who wont take any of his crap and then watch out.
Some good games to watch tonight:
7:00PM Marshall-Syracuse, Sportsnet New York
7:00PM Missouri-Villanova, ESPN (New York, NY)
9:00PM Long Beach State-Kansas, ESPN U
9:00PM Memphis-Miami (FL), ESPN 2
9:00PM Washington-Marquette, ESPN (New York, NY)
Would have more respect for Kansas if they would have traveled to Long Beach for that game. See if Jayhawk can Rock Chalk at a mid-major team in front of a hostile crowd a tight, smaller gym. Oh well.
Only worth watching the last ten minutes at around 11PM tonight for the end of the Utah State game tonight on ESPN Full Court...IF they are winning!
Enjoy!

so I flipped the game on yesterday (actually found the satellite feed w/no commercials...gotta love free to air) and I guess the whole "chant" thing at the end some people think its cute. But I guess if the whole crowd did it maybe it would be really cool. But one thing I noticed is the crowd was very sparse (especially opposite camera side). Lots of folks dressed as yellow seats
Also did you hear about the students "protest" at last game? I guess something about some of the chants they say so they had a 3 minute protest where the students didnt say anything....
