Come on. You know you watch MM just like everyone else. No one cares about how great these kids play. We just want close games and buzzer beaters. And, rowdy fans.

I'm oddly very intrigued to watch these games with little to no fans. I hope they do not create fake crowd noises, that would be even weirder to hear a bunch of cheering and whatnot coming from nowhere..
Question is - with the recent NBA developments, will March Madness actually happen this year? I get that the NBA suspended bc one of the players tested positive - so is that what it will take to cancel the NCAA tourney too? Just seems odd that if the pros are cancelling they'd still let the "kids" play... (I am all for them playing by the way, not advocating any cancellations at all - this is by far my favorite time of the year sports-wise)

Big Ten and other inferior conferences canceled their conference tournaments.

Big East is still trying to drag this out. I'm convinced the Garden/Dolan is playing a significant role in that decision.

someone tweeted yesterday that convid-19 will be the first thing that dolan doesn't have thrown out and banned from msg

Duke and Kansas won't participate in tournament.

They're going to cancel it completely. Duke and Kansas just want PR

There it is. No NCAA Tournament this year. UCF is declared the champ.

LOLZ.


Colorado splits the win on bullshit 5th down.

You just had to bring the 5th down into this, didn't you?

He's into season 8 on his substack site now and I don't want to spoil it but the Leathernecks really start to make some noise in the big dance.

This is awesome. I’m hooked.

And I’m moving it to the appropriate damn thread.

bammer is a sports mod?

Since day one, playa.

You registered for RM and were anointed a moderator that same day? What sort of operation is this?

What are your qualifications? Were you headhunted to be a mod, then became a regular poster after?

So many questions. Might need a ten episode documentary to peel away all these layers.

Fuck. I hate the college thread. Anyway, let's talk some Deke Van!
