Better get to espn 2 if you want hear the best announcer on late night.  You never know what’s coming out of his mouth.   Big Sky after dark.   Montana/Idaho St to end the night  

He is one of a kind special .

Day starts at 11:30 on USA Network 

[Hovadipo 62,397]

Lol wow. Alberts leaving the school that he played linebacker for when they were rolling for A&M.

Saint Joe's and GMU with an early tipoff on USA Network. A-10 second round. 

I'm off today, and at some point this afternoon, I'll have to carve out an hour or so to waken the lawn mower from its winter slumber and give the grass a once-over. I'm usually able to wait till mid-April, but my yard is starting to resemble a jungle -- and is only gonna get worse. 

[LamarCheeks 22,461]

Interesting list. Good for water cooler talk, I suppose. 

Our 1974-'75 team is No. 2 -- but there's no mention of the '92-'93 team (Henderson knee injury). 

The exclusion of the latter is very perplexing. We were No. 1 for a significant portion of the season and nearly ran the table in the B1G.

Obviously, it's subjective and are solely the opinions of the writers, but I found the inclusion of the UMass, Temple and Butler teams maybe a tad strange (and what's with the picture of John Chaney with Hersey Hawkins -- he played at Bradley).

Those were good teams, no doubt, but among the best ever to not win the title? Not sure about that. I'd argue that our '91-'92 team (ran into Teddy Valentine) was better than any of those.

Thank you Marquee network for carrying the MWC early games.     Didn’t think I was going to be able to watch them

As Casey Jacobsen says, "If you're not a fan of the MWC, we can't be friends".

Payne officially fired ... This, from the ESPN story. Dude was there for two years of a six-year contract and U of Six gets off with a "measly" $8M buyout? How did we get so stupid with our contracts!

Louisville is expected to owe Payne around $8 million, the buyout of what is remaining on the six-year contract he signed when he was hired, sources told ESPN.

That's what a program which is serious and committed to winning does.

Meanwhile, here we sit....

MWC delivering    Wyoming down 1 with 1 min to go 

[Hovadipo 62,397]

Is it my feed, or is the Big East camera jacked up? Someone needs to white balance their camera; looks like I'm watching a game being played on Mars.

[str8baller 7,834]

Let’s go Butler. Do us the favor of advancing an Indiana team and making Sean Miller less attractive to O$U. 

[RaceToTheTop 31,659]

Senior Posh Alexander (formerly of St. John's, now at Butler) went down.  Turned his ankle badly but was holding his knee.

Xavier making baskets late look like they're gonna move on

To be fair, Payne is 12-52.  His own mother would fire him.

Mcneese playing a junior high team.   Up 18.  With 18:30 to go 

[FortWayneHoosier 6,961]

Pumped for this Providence game, when Cooley was there I always loved their style. I always root for them. Big East has some great teams all the way around 

[LamarCheeks 22,461]

McNeese State wins the Southland title -- 92-76 over Nicholls State. 

Cowboys are 29-3. Will Wade is goin' dancing! 

IMO -- If ever there were a match made in heaven, it's Will Wade and Louisville.
