Fighting fucking peacocks baby

Both teams are sleeping a bit here.  Offense is quite rough.  They might have been in the club last night

I thought that was Paul Shaffer

It seems like Houston would be fine with Illinois shooting, and missing, 3s

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

Coaches have been so bad with timeouts this tourney. Instead of calling a TO with Coburn in the corner leading to a turnover and open 3, Underwood waits 28 seconds later after going down 10. You can use the TO before the last possession in the first half. It’s ok. 

[Herpa Derpa 6131]

Chapman is Colin Robinson and I can feel the energy being drained from my soul every time he opens his mouth.

[shakahorn 1645]

Why are both teams wearing dark jerseys? Shouldn’t Illinois as the lower seed be wearing white? They definitely have their whites, they wore them on Friday. Would love to be able to blame Sampson for this.

Side note, this character is so hilarious and creative. Apt analogy

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

Illinois is the dumbest team in the tourney.

Not even close. Murray State says hi

They just have to be contrasting colors.  They change that rule a few years ago.

NoHo Frank Martin 

[dcar00 14358]

how is that not a hook by the Illini guy?

[PittsburghTiger 6196]

Come on Houston. Stop being dumb.  Run these guys

[Dennis Taylor 18866]

Kofi Cockburn sounds like something you need to consult your physician about right away 

[WhatTheBuck 28798]

Let’s go Illini.

Sounds like? No, not when you say his name out loud. 

[Underdog 28773]

C’mon, Coogs*!

*slowly typed the word Coogs. 

[Underdog 28773]

Weak ass T. 

[TexArcher 38056]

Oh, come on, you cannot call that a technical.  God damn, that's awful.

[The Ace of Aces 5194]

It’d be better without refs. What a joke. 

[Js1 85569]

Ok refs. Stop inserting yourself into this game 

[Pancho 44988]

Called that weak ass foul just now to makeup for the T. 

[TexArcher 38056]

You know it's wrong as shit if even Steratore admits it.

Every game. Every fucking tournament game. 

[PittsburghTiger 6196]

3/16 from 3.  FFS Houston, stop shooting 3s

good luck with that.  they need to change the charge call to putting your finger on your head and twirling around so it's called much less.

They still owe UH for the weak as fuck F1 in the 1st half.

C’mon Houston

[Pancho 44988]

Besides making officiating centralized (which would make it better on both mens and womens), they need to get rid of advancing refs based on their last game and just pre-select the officials for each round, the FF, and NC game before the tournament starts.  That way refs can just ref and stop trying to over-officiate.

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

Love Houston always getting the best shot in the paint. Illinois does now they can start their offense with more than 5 seconds left on the clock, right?

By "centralized", do you mean getting rid of conference officials and having them all work for the NCAA, or some similar arrangement?  Because I just had that conversation with a friend recently and it seems like the most obvious and easy thing that could be done to improve all college sports.

Robot refs. Let's go.

there aren't conference officials in baseketball.

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

Another example of taking a TO immediately following a chance to help his kid in the corner trapped AFTER  a turnover and 3 pointer made.

Yes, just like the NBA.  But that will never, ever, ever happen because $$$$$$.

(There aren’t really conference officials since refs work multiple P5 conferences.)

They are 50% from the floor on 2s.  Stop shooting 3s

[dcar00 14358]

IMO, they need to have national officials for football and men's basketball.   everything else should be regionalized.  

[Underdog 28773]

Dear Sparty, 

Do America another solid like last time when you knocked off Fat Albert and gang out of the tournament by sending Wooden-lite to early retirement.  

Sincerely, 

CBK fans

So you’re rooting for a cheating former coach at Oklahoma? Interesting.

Should have said everyone but Edwards. Shead and Moore are really smart and calm about their shots. 

[dcar00 14358]

that was a great play to save that ball.

[HtownHorn 14776]

White with back to back huge plays for the Coogs.

Rooting for a team from Texas.

I wish Harlan worked the Final Four as well. He's so good.
