Miami is frisky but this is just a bad matchup for them. UConn is the class of this tournament for sure.

"Frittering away an advantage or lead through extended bouts of nervous or unfocused play", is how I've understood it here.
Usually I’d have a shoe bag next to the bench with a backup pair for each player.
You can't expect those $200 shoes made for $5 in materials and sweatshop labor to really hold up.
IT's a shame FAU found a way to lose because yes, it'd be a better game on Monday, at least for a time
Miami is far more athletic than SDSU and is much better offensively and UConn is going to win by 15. I don’t think it’ll be close at all.
Jimmy Fund bet?
EDIT--UConn's inside presence was certainly a factor, but Miami missed a shit ton of lay ups.
I hope Monday is close. A period of garbage time will be filled with nothing but emotional paeans to Jim Nantz.
SDSU plays great defense and can hold UConn down to the mid 60s.
SDSU struggles to score and UConn plays great defense Cuba can hold SDSU down to the mid 40s.
UConn wins 65-45.
I dunno about anything crazy like 25, but I'd charity bet even odds for you at UConn -10. Live spread appears to be -7.5. Your choice of amount up to $100. Winner picks charity.
Uh, no. My response was specifically because he said 25 and someone else said more. I would probably take UConn -10.
Yeah I'd put my own breakeven around 15. That FanDuel line of -7.5 almost looks like free money, good thing I don't bet on sports.
Wow, I never would have guessed on my own, he really is a national treasure.

There was nothing like a Raf called Big East game in the 80s and 90s. The “send it in Jerome” game where Jerome Lane of Pitt broke backboard was pinnacle
Yeah, I’ve long said that if I was a billionaire, I’d hire him to watch games with me at my place when he wasn’t working. I just never heard/noticed that thing at the start before, almost sounds like mumbled incantations. Onions!
this was always funny whenever Raferty called a Syracuse game — iirc they played a 2-3 zone with some mantaman principles
He’s the best. We got to meet him between games at a tournament once and he was about as cool in person as you would imagine. Just so positive and friendly.
I don't know. People seem to watch this event no matter who is in it. However that being said the ratings sure have been dropping over the years. I wonder if it's because it's harder to accurately get correct numbers nowadays or because with streaming there are so many alternate viewing choices. Back in the 80's and 90's ratings were regularly 20+ share. Lately it's been half that.

Video killed the radio star.
I also think with many of the the best college players from the elite hoop schools never seeing their sophomore year has hurt quality, and a sense of continuity/watching guys and teams develop. And with the aging/retirement of many star coaches IMO it becomes a harder product to market.

It pains me greatly to root in harmony with Kawhi Leonard, Graig Nettles, and Marshall Faulk
Then again, I have the entire Gwynn family, Carl Weathers, Kevin O'Connell, Paige Spiranac, and the estate of Raquel Welch also with me.
Go Aztecs!
Please keep it within 20.

That's close to where I was in 2014. I was on the other side of the baseline. I remember at halftime looking up and realizing there were levels even above the level of the scoreboard.
Great move having a NASA astronaut sing the anthem, but my ears were not normalized to her randomly bunching words together.
