Once again the Women get snubbed by having only the one Network (ESPN) and even only one Channel (ESPN 2), the second best one (though some would argue who wants to watch Sports Center 24/7 and I would be forced to agree) at that. It’s not like Disney doesn’t have dozens of Channels on your …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2, Round of 64, Afternoon
Once again Play Ins are a non-factor this afternoon. I won’t overwork this intro because it’s already got a ton of energy in it and I need a nap. Today’s Games Time Network Seed Team Record Seed Team Record Region 12:15 pm CBS 7 Texas A&M 20 – 12 10 Providence 21 – 13 West …

NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Afternoon
Look, the Women’s game is just superior if you care about Basketball at all. Sure UConn is dominant and part of it is that they play from the Tip straight through because of their conditioning but it’s not like they’re bullies in the Paint- this is not Hockey. They rebound with authority at both ends …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Evening
The winners of the 2 Play In games that took place Tuesday are appearing tonight. It’s hard to call any of the Play In games upsets because they’re between 2 identical seeds but normally teams that win in an upset are marked with an Asterisk (*). Teams are presented higher seed to the left, the …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1, Round of 64, Afternoon
Gaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ok, this installment is complete. It takes you through 6:45 pm. None of the winning teams that played Tuesday night are appearing until the evening so the results are not relevant. Do I have some favorites? Sure. Rhode Island because they’re Rhode Island and I live in Connecticut, plus Oklahoma. Wright State because they’re …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 2 Play Ins
As it turns out I have a rooting interest today, though I don’t expect much will come of it. I’m a pretty fair fan of Syracuse because I spent several years working there as a Life Guard and Water Safety Instructor. Never went to see a game live either at Manley or the Dome (or …

NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2018: Day 1 Play Ins
March Madness as in I must be insane to attempt this. It’s an unbelievable amount of work. Clicking through on the team’s name brings you to their school basketball home page. Clicking through on their record brings you to their game results in case you’re foolish enough to try and handicap and are involved in …

NCAA Men’s Tournament 2016: National Championship
Villanova. You heard it here first. Syracuse didn’t win which makes me kind of sad, but North Carolina didn’t exactly dominate and Villanova did- 44 points against a fellow #2 and all North Carolina could muster was 17 against a #10 Seed? It will be ugly and the Tarheels will be on the receiving end. …

NCAA Men’s Tournament 2016: National Semi-Finals (Round of 4)
A Semi-Final of Upsets. Well, it’s actually hard to call a #2 Seed over a #1 Seed an upset, but never-the-less I think I can say that very few people actually expected Villanova to win over Kansas which was the #1 Seed in the entire Tournament and consensus #1 Team in the country. Even I …
