Final stats

Halftime stats

Cards trail 30-23 3:46; the fact that Zougris has 6 pts with 4 FG att tells just how much the Spartans defense has UofL out of sorts. He only has 5 games all season with 4 or more attempts

Sparty up 19-12 11:55; Cards have had some good looks from 3 not fall but 2-10 3ptFG is not the formula for an upset

Cards-Sparty tied at 7 15:43; Pat Kelsey has to make his first big decision as Ryan Conwell picked up 2nd offensive foul

Halftime stats

Cards up 17-9 10:32 currently on 12-2 run as they’ve held Enis/Pinion to combined for 2-11 FG for USF

UofL-USF 7-7 14:57; Cards shooting just 3-11 FG but already have 5 off reb/2nd chance pts to save them

Mikel Brown is out for Louisville’s game vs USF says he “can’t play to his standard” because he’s not 100% but leaves it open for possibly playing 2nd round of they advance

@gregorychilders @grindcitymedia @GaryParrishCBS @_EdScott ed scott is a rising star. memphis is lucky to have him before a P4 school comes calling

@grindcitymedia @GaryParrishCBS @_EdScott Ed Scott should be fired along with Penny. He's the most incompetent AD the university has had in decades.

And love seeing our @sports_cj team earn another @APSE_sportmedia top-10 finish for Kentucky Derby coverage. Journalism came up short during 151, but they — which goes well beyond those listed as part of the submission — crushed it.

ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi stops by The C.L. Brown Show (@clbrownhoops) and says that the NCAA tournament selection process was once secretly done but has become way more transparent over the years.

@CJMooreHoops too lol

Final bracket. notice, Pitino/Calipari rematch in second round. it’s not a conspiracy folks, just how the teams landed especially after already switching UofL/Tenn to avoid conference rematches

Another question that’s come up, UK would play Tulsa in OKC in 6-11 game. Point was made that the Cats would still have more fans. To reiterate, only the top 4 seeds in region are protected from home court disadvantage

Quirky situation with St. Louis as a 1st/2nd round site is in St. Louis. Committee protects top four seeds against home court advantage, but since the Bilikens didnt play more than 3 games at the venue, they could conceivably stay at home.

Kentucky as 6 seed in Midwest with opening round in OKC

UofL switched with Tennessee to East region/Tampa for 1&2 rounds to avoid being in potential 2nd round matchup with ACC mate UVA. 5 seed Vols also avoid SEC rematch with 4 seed Alabama

back at it after a break, voting on last four in. this time we vote for 4 of 9 teams remaining under consideration and the top 2 vote getters are in. then we take the remaining 7 teams and vote for 4 again. top 2 are final teams in tourney
