The game will suck but I'll only complain that they hold this coveted event at an ungodly hour on a Monday night. The NFL is the only sport that gets it right with their early start times including the Super Bowl. Some of us have to wake up early the next morning.

Here's an NBA nugget of interest (assuming you find the game interesting):

The Milwaukee Bucks are only the 8th team in NBA history with at least 45 double digit wins during the regular season. The previous 7 all went on to win the NBA Championship.

Yes, the 9:20 tip or whatever is bad...  but with the pace the game could be over by 11 so it's not like a World Series game starting at 8 and going well after midnight.

East is gonna be fun in the 2nd round.   I'm holding a Rockets +575 to win West conference, no horse in the East as of now.

rough night for both of us BWS........however, +700 and winning my bracket out of 68 teams helps soften the blow.  Love the exposure our program got and if Beard stays we should be basketball relevant for years to come.  Big IF

When they went down by 12 or so in the 1st round to Gardner Webb or whomever the thought had to enter some of their minds oh no here we go again, if only for a second or 2. I'd say they redeemed themselves for last year. A tip of my cap to the Cavs, hell of a season, shoot they only lost 3 games. Maybe it was destiny. Tech had them, went up by 3 with 12 seconds left, why not foul ? Oh well.

What an amazing tourny... more heart-attack games in the final 3 rounds than I can ever remember.

Tech losing was tough...  how could (Culver I think it was) he leave the man in the corner at the end of regulation?  Let Guy have the layup and play the foul game up 1, damn.

do or die game tonight for the Thunder for them to have a chance at hitting their RSW of 48.5.   A bet I thought was a lock back in January.  ugh.

Oh nice, I thought everyone was finished tonight but I guess not.  My Lakers Under will cash in tonight, get some back from last night.  

Watched the end of regulation again... it was Culver that left the shooter in the corner to challenge Jerome at the hoop, damn that was a bad play.   I wish Mooney would have got some more 3 point attempts too, he heated up quick later.   Just the 2 big lapses, end of half and end of regulation cost them the title.  Disappointing for sure.. . and then I realize that Virginia burned 3 of my futures bets with Purdue, Auburn and TT.   Motherfukkers!!!!!

Mariners to win their division +650 seems like an awfully juicy carrot just dangling out there

The talking heads are finally starting to recognize his poor attitude on the floor and in team huddles, where instead of helping young guys and teaching he is walking away and deflecting blame.  

I think it's all a combination of the reality of playing in the West, trying to mix known cancers like Rondo/Lance with young guys, a coach that has little to no say in what's happening, Lebron openly attempting to trading every player on the roster publicly, injuries and basically these kids saying 'screw you'.  The offseason will be interesting.  I saw something yesterday saying the big free-agents don't need to chase rings (because they already have them) and could go in another direction away from LA.  


Congrats Luke, you are free!
