For some reason my first thought was Bowser's castle haha
Looks like an old Hollywood Squares set.
I just noticed Martinelli is wearing #66. Not sure if his original jersey ripped or got blood but what a random number for a backup jersey

They said earlier that his original jersey was unwearable since it was torn all the way down one of the sides. Never seen 66 on a basketball floor in my life.
I clearly haven't paid attention before but Martinelli shoots his FTs as a jump shot. Don't know I've ever seen that.

Xavier up 12 over Marquette late 1st half. Musketeers red hot from three right now.
that was pretty entertaining
It took me a minute to figure out "GT" did not mean Georgetown.

If a couple of the games today are any indication of what the next four weeks will look like, let's have some fun!
Lol, not only did Brazile miss both free throws, but he played TERRIBLE transition defense and didn't contest the dude that nailed the 3 pointer to win it. Classic way to not finish a game.
Could be fatigue. Played a tough game yesterday too.

Peacock showed a floor-level shot of the Ole Miss game-winner. Chris Beard was sitting on the scorer's table with a foot on the floor as Pedulla came down the floor and pulled up. The guy never moved or changed expression as the shot went in and Pedulla got back on defense. We talk about players with ice water in their veins, but not sure I've had too many instances to see a coach react (not react??) to a game-winning shot like that.
based off of the way he shook cal's hand (more of a dap up) i'd say he was pretty darn excited
Jay Wright didn’t even crack a smile when Jenkins hit the game winner to win the Natty.

Something about Wisconsin vs. Northwestern in basketball is just the absolute epitome of "boring" to me in 99% of seasons. 
Groce and Akron with a nice win.

Watched Akron a few times this season. If they can get through the MAC tournament, they are not going to be a fun 3-14 or 4-13 game in the right matchup. A team that likes to play slow and grind things out may not be very comfortable playing at Akron's pace if the Zips can dictate tempo.
Watching the fired former B1G coaches bowl — Tim Miles and San Jose St versus Richard Pitino and New Mexico. Seemed fitting to watch former Minny coach on day Gophers let their coach go.

Marquette has pulled within 2 - 62-60 - against Xavier with 11 left 2H at MSG.
Colorado hanging around against Houston, down 38-33 less than 1:00 left 1H.

The one I'll never forget. Probably because he knew Reggie got away with a push off.

Not exactly game-related, but John Feinstein passed away at the age of 69.

He had a column published today in the Washington Post, so I wonder if this was a sudden medical event. While he'll forever be most remembered for "Season on the Brink", I read his book "A Good Walk Spoiled" and his book "A Civil War" on the Army-Navy football rivalry. Both were very good, but "A Civil War" was by far my favorite book he wrote. It was outstanding. RIP and condolences to his family, friends, and co-workers.
