Everyone strap in: this year's version of the “This Little Light of Mine” commercial is the cringeworthy Shai Gilgeous Alexander & Chet Holmgren duet. All hail the mute button

Cornell giving Ohio St. all it can handle. HUGE DUNK
Iowa has a ton of talent and interest on offense....but they hate doing anything but watching on defense.

Virginia showing up with their putrid offense tonight so far - on a 38-point pace through 8 1/2 minutes.
Wagner defeats Howard 71-68 in the first of tonight's First Four games.

Being a UVA fan is the ultimate monkey's paw. You get the Natty, but also have to watch consistently the worst offense in major college basketball. 193rd this year in adjusted offensive efficiency. Just brutal, horrible, unfun stuff.
The new theme song for dancing in March Madness is in overkill. Mute in between breaks.
WBD announced a couple weeks ago that they were going to have a new evening and primetime block on the channel focused on TNT sports. It will mostly be alternate broadcasts of sporting events carried by its sister networks, as well as new studio shows, and sports-related documentaries and films. They also moved the one show (Impractical Jokers, which someone mentioned earlier) that seemingly aired on a never ending cycle on that channel over to TBS permanently.
They were also one of the worst free throw shooting teams this year as well.
Yeah, the Bennett Family calculus certainly
gets results…but paint drying, root canals and insurance seminars are more fun.
This game is on pace for 90 total points with 4 minutes to go in the 1st half.

Try being the NCAA selection committee explaining why Indiana State didn't get in and these two teams did.

The fact that this program has one and we don’t is so incredibly irritating.

If I'm a bubble team, I'm watching this UVA performance furious they got in over us. UVA with 14 points, finishing on a 10:30 scoring drought, and just 5-29 from the field at the half. Absolutely awful.

14 points at the half. Bennett Ball at its finest. 
The announcers for the Minny-Butler game (Crean and whoever) absolutely suck! Wow, they are the worst I've ever heard, EVER!
Feels a little self-important for a team that has made the tournament maybe twice in the last 15 yearsA signpost of college athletics being an increasingly unhealthy ecosystem:
Snubbed St. John's, OU, Pitt decline invites to NIT
First-year St. John's coach Rick Pitino told the NIT selection committee that the team didn't want to play in the also-ran event. Oklahoma and Pitt also said they didn't want to take part.www.espn.com
Such will the be the fate of the bowls shortly.

Myron Medcalf is the PBP guy. Yes, he's awful.
This. If I was an AD, especially for a major program, and my mbb coach said heck no, we're turning our nose up at the NIT...I'd fire them.
That is taking revenue from the school, advertising opportunities, NIL opportunities...
Not to mention more practices, opportunities for asst coaches and bench players to develop, and even an NIT Championship can be used in recruiting.
Ridiculous.

Thanks to all who have commented eloquently on how unbelievably hideous UVA's offense is, so I don't have to. Its football team could score more in a half.
Also, props to the Big Red for hanging in Columbus to the wire. Seemed that if Gray hadn't picked up that bizarre T with ~ 3 mins left they might well have won.

Whoa
I just looked, its like 3 mins into the 2nd half and they're still stuck on 14 points
