No Juzang really kills UCLA here. Bama is deeper with both at full strength, this magnifies it. He's much more important than Gary is to Bama.

UCLA can't afford any turnovers or Tyger fouling out.

Nobody's probably ever been higher than Bill Walton is watching this performance by the Pac-12

FWIW they shot 72% for the season. Bad toke to shoot poorly.
Ouch. They collectively shot a Chris Dudley when it mattered most. That’ll sting. Good for UCLA. Love seeing teams deal with back breaker and pick themselves up and close things out.

Elite Eight breakdown:

Pac-12: 3
WCC: 1
(West coast - 4)

SWC - 3
(Central timezone -3)

Michigan - only ET team, eastern-most, and at a fair distance from Atlantic Ocean.

4 games yesterday. 2 of them went WAY under. 1 went pretty easily under.(double digits) And 1 went under by a few points.

All 8 teams shot 22% from 3 for the entire day. It seemed like every team was playing unbelievably tenacious defense. Which means tough shots and missed shots in the 2nd half because teams were tired.
I think this is a combination of post-season defensive intensity with hard close outs, lack of pace resulting in halfcourt sets against post-season defensive intensity.......and the horrific shooting background and sight lines at these venues. We saw similar perimeter shooting problems at Bankers Life during the Big-10 tournament.

That rolling the ball BS is my 2nd least favorite part of college basketball.
And your least favorite? Mine is being able to call time out when you're saving a ball from going out of bounds and you're allowed to do it mid-air.

Just wait until tonight and tomorrow when the games go to Lucas.

Do I have this right? Even with a full cable subscription there's no way to watch the game on a Roku TV without subscribing to Paramount+? This despite the fact that it's available free over the air?

I’m confused. You don’t get CBS with your full cable subscription?
Sorry wasn't clear. I've got a TV in my basement gym without a cable box. I generally can get most channels especially sports by signing into the app with my cable credentials. But seems not for CBS games now that Paramount+ is out.

There’s a March Maadness app on the Apple TV. It’s not available on Roku?

EDIT: Never mind, I see now that the app only includes the games on cable, not on CBS.

Apparently I can watch it on a Chromecast (but not Roku) with the March Madness App because they makes sense!

This is why cord cutting is infuriating. Especially as someone that hasn't cut the cord and is still paying for the channel!
