It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I agree with this. Really, I still think they should have finished up the conference tournaments then called off the season.

You can thank Rudy Gobert for that. Rumor is that everyone was planning to go to no fans, and still play until Rudy came down with it. I guess it was inevitable, but it might have extended games for a few more days.

That Duke/UCF game is something I'm going to try to catch on ESPNU assuming they're going to play old tournament games soon. I guess they might not have the rights though.

Sounds like Jackson at least largely transferred because of playing time. Which is....pretty damned frustrating because the team sucked anyway and he was at least occasionally fun to watch when he did play.

HIT YOUR loving FREE THROWS, CLINE

I swear for such a lights out shooter he missed the front ends of so many 1 and 1s. Not the problem in this case, but still, that miss there is haunting.

BTN is having twitter polls on which games to show and the Purdue wins are piling up which is nice. The sweet 16 game against UT was almost as insane as the UVA game but with the correct outcome. Yesterday was the pistol whipping of Michigan State and pissing all over Bob Knight's return to Bloomington, both very satisfying games to watch.
