Dayton was very unlucky tonight. As a neutral who will almost always root for Wichita State, glad to see them win a tourney game for the 5th year in a row.

Indy will be the site for a pair of classic rematches (assuming Kentucky does not get upset by a 15 seed):

Louisville vs. Michigan (Rematch of the 2013 national title game)
Kentucky vs. Wichita St. (Rematch from the Round of 32 in 2014 which was one of the best games I have seen)
I always root for Wichita and I always overpick them in my pools. They were very fortunate tonight. Dayton had no O this entire half but the refs have been very kind, in a variety of moments.

2 road games for WSU

What's the committee's obsession with scheduling them v. Kentucky anyway?

Not sure I'd put it in the same rarefied air that you do, but yeah, that was a helluva game. I won't mind at all if we get bombarded with flashbacks in the run-up to Sunday's rematch.

In every UCLA game I've watched (admittedly small sample) TJ Leaf's been more impressive than Ball.

Ball's back in the game to start the 2nd, injury is only a bad bruise.

I do hate basically starting with 2 1/2 single games right off the bat. Especially 30 minutes between games there will be no game action.

Dvr and start watching 1:15 or so. FF through commercials half times and free throws

Profit

Once get past 6pm ff through 15 point leads too.

It's a very poor daily schedule. 2.5 games and then, WHAM, 5 more on top of each other.
Yeah true
This argument takes place every year I think

Have 4 games start by 2:15 on a Thursday but only one on Saturday (and Sunday iirc) seems really stupid
Also have college hockey competition in Minny and Boston markets and other places in the evening and nba on ABC
