It's March and we're watching college basketball, so that means it must be (almost) March Madness. I'm posting this a little early so we can get in Championship Week posting as well. Here are some key dates:

Their #1 and 2 scorers, and also one of their three total post players.

Still pretty bad especially since Cinci is obviously poo poo and not taking advantage of this even more.

Georgia-Missouri is getting wild for a battle between two lovely teams.

Mizzou led by as many as 8 in the 2nd half, but it's down to 1 with 6 minutes left. Tigers refusing to defend the arc, which is a problem because that's the only place UGA can shoot.

e: Georgia can't rebound to save its life

Missouri, looking for its first SEC win of the year - and first win, period, in 2024 - led 59-52 late in the 2nd half, but collapsed to allow an 8-0 run for Georgia over barely 2 minutes.

Tigers still had a chance to go ahead in the last 20 seconds but blew multiple shots in the paint, then redirected a rebound right to Georgia. They had a pretty clean look at a game-tying 3 and blew that too. Something named Blue Cain has put the nail in the coffin.

A Bad Basketball Game.

Montana State's trying to pull an upset here. Guard Robert Ford III for Montana State is all energy all the time and really fun to watch.

KSU/ISU is pretty ugly right now. Lots of fouls and missed shots. Clones look ok, but have missed some decent looks.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
UCLA/Oregon has been a good finish to an awfully boring game.
