Early afternoon, Thursday, March 17
- At 1:53 p.m. CDT we have our first thriller--a late basket by Butler gets the win over Old Dominion. Why are these two schools playing each other, as an eight seed and nine seed, versus playing majors?
- West Virginia's win reinforces the value of a tournament tested, great hoops coach. Clemson took it to WVU early but Huggins made adjustments to get the eight point win.
- Bill Raftery to Verne Lundquist: "You've had a few career double-doubles, eh?" Lundquist chuckles knowingly.
- Butler's win elicits an "oh my" from Tim Brando, obviously paying homage to retired colleague Dick Enberg.
- The coach of Butler, Brad Stevens, looks older now that he's wearing glasses. (Tongue planted firmly in cheek...)
- Why is Leslie Visser still employed by CBS? And, what the heck is going on with her hair!?
- Louisville's press is reminscent of Missouri, only they do it much better. And, they spread the floor on offense and use the dribble drive very effectively.
- Kenneth Faried of Morehead State is a rebounding machine. But, he and his Morehead State mates are wearing down due to altitude in the Pepsi Center coupled with Louisville's withering pressure.
