I’m biased and UNC played some pretty terrible basketball when they could have stomped on Baylor’s neck. But I still can’t get over the officiating.

College sports are the most corrupt organization in all of sports. This Baylor/UHC game proves that.

Why hasn’t the Kansas game started? Ugh I complain about this every year the Saturday and Sunday schedule sucks.

The 9:40pm start time for the Zags game is incredible.

One game going from 12pm to 4pm. And then BAM, 7 games on top of each other going deep into the night. It sucks every year and, still, every year it sucks.

Would love to see college basketball adopt the Elam ending or variant of it. End-of-game action in NBA is not great but it pales in comparison to how interminable every single close NCAA basketball game feels. Just nothing but fouls, free throws, and reviews.

Carolina won playing 5 on 8. Amazing. Every official should be fired who worked this game.

I’m not generally a fan of NBA officiating, but they do a good job with no-calls on fouls that don’t affect the play. NCAA refs call the game straighter, but there are too many random foul calls.
