In the Baylor game tournament summary Shaq Edey is having a great tournament. @ 6:35 in the first half.

Best value pick today is JMU. They are +7 at most books, and I actually think they win today (+215 ML). I am not sold on Duke at all.

I do not understand why they schedule this way. have 1 game and then a break and then 2nd game and a break. Then throw 6 games in 2 time slots. Why not 2 games per the 4 time slots. And I may be an old man shouting at clouds, but why a 9:40 eastern start on a Sunday,
Promoting the 1 seed with the face, and the blue blood, to casual viewers.

The pile of games later on aren’t the marketing focus of Purdue or Duke.

Nasty fall on dunk attempt for Duke player. He was shaken up good and went to the locker room

Saturday games should be 1 / 3:30 / 6 / 8:30 PM ET
Sunday games should be noon / 2:30 / 5 / 7:30 PM ET

In both cases, if you want to start one game 15 minutes later so you have a game going on at all times, that can work.

Fully agree that the long breaks between games are dumb and that a 9:40 ET start on a Sunday is really stupid (but I guess we know that academics aren't really important). By doing this, you also get games down to just two stations (CBS and TBS) from the second round on.

Still wouldn't work, especially on Sunday. CBS isn't going to give up their primetime Sunday lineup, even if it starts a little bit late like it will tonight. That's why the NW/UConn game is on TruTV tonight.

So was James Madison still severely underseeded or nah?

Judging by the attendance in Memphis, you aren't the only one.

It only looks bad because that one end of the court that's behind one of the benches is for the Houston fans. It wouldn't shock me if their casual fans weren't going to show up until closer to their tip time. It looked pretty sparse behind the Sparty bench in Charlotte last night but that's because that's where the Tennessee fans were going to be sitting.

Clemson has been better than Baylor from the opening tip. And yet, up 9 with 8 to go, it's still going to be tough. Fun game

The officials think the game is all about them in Washington right now. Lots of ticky tack called and multiple techs.
