I assure you I have something incredibly trenchant and profound to say about the state of Women’s Basketball, but I’m already at least 40 hours into this project out of the last 72 or so and I’m afraid my brain is totally fried. Fortunately most of the heavy lifting is done. Do I have favorites? …

NCAA Men’s Baskeball Tournament 2019: Round of 64 Day 1- Evening
This previews with 3 minor flaws (see if you can pick them out). I have wasted waaay too much time trying to fix them, the code around the affected areas is rock solid so a flaw in rendering either in preveiw or across the site. Or maybe compiler error but I checked the output code. …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Round of 64 Day 1- Afternoon
Work, work, work. More to do on tomorrow, Day 2, Women’s Day 1. Then, it gets exactly twice as busy. Do I have favorites? Some. Well, Michigan State. The rest I could care less about except for the ones I hate. And it’s a bit early to get in to that. Time Network Seed …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Play Ins Day 2
Tonight I have a slight favorite, the Johnnies. They had a pretty good year for them and after years and years of exile to the NIT it’s kind of nice to see them back in the big dance. Time Network Seed School Record Seed School Record Region 6:40 pm truTV 16 North Dakota St. 18 …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2019: Play Ins Day 1
Sigh. It’s that time of year we I get to work really hard for a very long time. The Tables and Links don’t look like much, but some of the Links are hard to find and the Table formatting is technically difficult and requires you to do the same boring repetitive task over and over …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Regional Quarter Finals, Day 2
We could call Friday “Giant Slayer Day”, at least on the Men’s side of the Tournament. In addition to the big one, the crushing defeat of Virginia (picked by many as the top seed to win the whole thing) by University of Maryland, Baltimore College, a historically Black College known more for turning out Physicians, …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Regional Quarter Finals, Day 1
Friday, Day 1 of the Round of 64, was not exactly overpopulated with upsets. Virginia, Minnesota, and Villanova, that’s it. Otherwise pretty much what you would expect. Tennessee got a Century, good for them. Doesn’t look quite so impressive now, does it? Unfortunately Lady’s Basketball does not have the financial support and development it deserves …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Regional Quarter Finals
Sorry. Distracted. 140 – 52. Tournament Record (121, Men’s or Women’s) shattered. Not 3:1. Not 149+ (most points ever, Men or Women). Room for improvement. A-. I don’t think there’s a team on the Men’s side who can hang with them if they swapped today. Even less so if they had a few months to …

Let me say I’m pleased as punch that the Orangemen played their way into the big dance. I haven’t made many predictions today (they’re mostly wishes anyway) but I’m highly gratified when they make me seem not quite such an idiot as I actually am.
