  1. Pretty sure the last arena F4 was Meadowlands in 1996. I actually think shooting has improved in recent years as the seating alignment is more uniform and also the lighting is perfect. It doesn't take long for players to adjust.

    But it does suck. Even having a relatively decent lower level seat for the Nova win a couple years ago, the winning shot seemed like it was a mile away. You can't hear whistles or anything, so once in a while play just stops and they walk to the other end or back to the benches and you have no idea what happened. I doubt NCAA goes back unless attendance falls into the 20's which is unlikely.

  2. Embiid has a concussion (Sixers docs missed this yesterday) and needs surgery to repair orbital bone. Probably out a month which even with the ridiculous off days during playoffs, likely means his season is done. Fucking sucks, they were looking really dangerous at least to throw a scare into someone in the playoffs.

    Big question now is does this scare off any potential FA's who would have been more eager if Sixers had done anything in playoffs 

  3. NCAA is going to allow beer/wine starting next year I think. There will be tons of beer vendors right outside in the fan zone which is open only to ticket holders. So you just have to suffer through the games themselves which take like 3 hours each. The fan zone closes when game 1 starts.

    Am I crazy or is the Cross firing at UTA stupid as hell? They won a school record 27 games last year, although they underperformed this year. Still, their AD seems like a clown.

    They don't seem to realize their place in the pecking order. Cross was really popular and was getting good players. They could have easily been a Cinderella the last couple years, just didn't win conference tourney. AD Jim Baker was at UT from like 1991-2011.

    In his 20 years with the Longhorns, Baker had wide-ranging responsibilities, from directing merchandising and concessions, to overseeing more than a dozen athletic facilities construction projects. He had chief responsibility for the Texas golf and baseball programs and directed all game-day activities for football.

     

  5. We Want Fultz chants are answered for final couple minutes. And then the crowd comes with a "Fultz...Fultz...Fultz" chant derived from "Foles" which was derived from "Skol" stolen from the Vikings, complete with overhead hand clap. 

    Sixers in general looking really balanced, deep and dangerous. Still a couple weeks and who knows how they come out in the playoffs. Definitely another story to watch in late April.

  6. Lots of great suggestions above, I would only add a day-trip to ATM cave near Belmopan is well worth it. Hike for about 45 minutes then spend 1-2 hours wandering through an amazing cave with 1,500 year old pottery intact (and the main attraction, a human skeleton possibly used in a sacrifice).

  7. 5:09 pm Central - Loyola Ill. vs. Michigan (Line: UM -5)

    7:49 pm Central - Kansas vs. Villanova (Line: VU -5)

     

    Alamodome - the court will be in the center this time, as opposed to the old half-stadium set up used in 2008 when KU won. Three Nike teams, Jayhawks the lone adidas lawbreakers. Go Ramblers & then Cats take it all again
