Bill "I love my" Self

Like Cal, he's a HOF coach no doubt. But, kind of surprising with all the talent he has had only 4 Final Fours and 1 Title...He's really blown it with some teams. I know it's hard to win..but still.

I'd like to see the goal tending on Manek again...I think that was a good block!

[Vauxhall and IU 317]

Never dreamed I'd ever be rooting for UNC, but it actually kinda makes sense. As IU fans, we're primed to root for an African-American coach named Davis who speaks with a southern accent and was a former assistant who took over from a legendary white-haired Hall of Fame coach and subsequently took the team to the national championship game in his first year or two on the job.

I'm betting there are others I'm forgetting but that's a pretty surprising number of parallels just off the top of my head.

Screw Kansas, but THIS is how you adjust at halftime. Damn.

Damn Hubie, try a timeout

This crew is awful. Nantz is great for the NFL and Golf. But he shouldn't get rewarded for calling 3 basketball games before the tournament. CBS puts the worst people on for this tournament...Kellogg is really the only one I like. 

Nantz is already deleting pimento cheese sandwiches and workshopping 72nd hole one-liners. I don’t blame him, but yeah this crew is big bad.

Adidas money starting to kick in....

Yup. Stephens has to be in 50. If Izzo tells him he’s looking at something like 5 more years he’s gotta make a move.

And he could still come back to coach Michigan State after Izzo retires, especially if he's successful at Western Michigan.

[RaceToTheTop 25,623]

So, will Izzo try to hire Fife to replace Stephens?  My guess is no.

So sick of these dumb commercials....

I really like Ian Eagle. College basketball is the only big sport where the people who really cover it all year don't play a part in the postseason. Outside of Kellogg and freakin Seth Davis. That has to change. I said it yesterday but give the Field of 68 guys a listen. They did a great job this week. I think they'll start to really take off soon. College hoops lacks the coverage in general. 

[LIHoosier 26,148]

We can hate Raftery's cliche bingo card but at least he covers games throughout the year. I don't think Grant Hill watches a college game until the B1G tournament.

Dauster started field of 68 after NBC sports fired him during the pandemic.  Goodman helped him get it started.   Fantastic coverage of college basketball that’s only been up and running for 2 years.  They have an after show every night during the season with different young guys.

Yep! and I bet they'll expand. I wasn't the biggest Goodman fan a year ago but he's solid. I hope they add some Big Ten guys next year to cover.

Coleman-Lands is 4:23 away from winning a National title 11 years after getting an IU offer 

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

This is easily one of the best championship games I’ve ever watched. Overcoming a 16 point deficit and an on-court vomiting because of the fast pace.

Yeah he's a legend for sure. Just kind of got tired of him. A lot like Berman on ESPN. Just don't like him on the #1 CBS crew. Agree on Hill. 

[HoosierFan1994 4,746]

Here we go everyone...this is it for the season. I hope we have an epic finish like 2008, 2010, or 2016.

Manek is everything I wanted Fitzner to be
