here in louisville, they ran a scroll when the game was nearly over saying how cbs new york had the decision on what game to show, not them. and then they ran cbs’ number and an email address to complain to them. cbs has done a terrible job this year, after i thought they did a good job last year. the worst of the worst is switching off wisconsin’s shot mid flight. i don’t even want to get into the terrible staggering of games they haven’t done. what are your thoughts?

I know they have MMOD, but for those of us away from our cpu’s I feel CBS should go back to a split-screen situation when so many games are close. Siena was beating the top team overall in the tournament by two points, yet when they returned to the game Louisville was ahead by five or seven. Hate to say bad job by the CBS crew, but they also missed USC’s offensive possesion at 52-47. Maybe I’m nitpicking.

Siena lost this game with that dunk…..Its funny, Louisville like Pitt they managed to win only due to luck in my opinion…Siena has missed like a bajillion open 3s, including Hasbrook who is the dude who well, normally makes these open looks he’s gotten today.

They’re gonna hae an easier matchup with Arizona, one would think. However, can they take MSU or Kansas? I can’t see it.

Siena has tied it….WOW. What a session. Why are there 3 games on now and only 1 on at 12? That’s criminal..wer’e going to miss at least one of the MSU or Marquette finishes.

I don’t see Xavier giving Pitt much trouble….Xavier will struggle dealing with Blair and the team will benefit from a few days of rest. Moreover in each of the first 2 rounds, only 1 or 1 and a half (Blair didn’t have as great an offensive game as you’d think this game) of the big 3 of Pitt were really on. I gotta think at least 2 of their players will be at normal strength in the S16.

Pitt is going to run into some trouble against Xavier.

That’s the game.

The refs at the end gave every call to Pitt there :-/ Might have been right, but at least one of those calls looked like a charge to me, and blair definitely mugged a Cowboy in place for an offensive board there. Sigh.

Blair just mugged a Cowboy over the back, no call. CMON refs.

Are these all nba refs or anything? No traveling, continuance, and not a single charge to be found. Seriously.

Or….now. 13 minutes left, and the game is over.

And tie game at half. Oklahoma State is done. No way they can keep up that for another half.

Wow….massive fail there. HOW CAN YOU NOT BE AWARE OF THE GAME SITUATION AT ALL TIMES?!!!

It’s Jamele Horne (The AU Player)-like. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I gotta agree with Raftery here, this is as much a lack of perimeter D as it is a large amount of Great shooting. Each shot is wide open. Which is not very impressive for Pitt.

Shocking question…who’s more important, Eaton or Blair? Blair’s a better player, but Eaton is more important to his team I’d think.
