From the Comfy TLBR Viewing Room, #3
8:15 p.m. --
Marquette scored, but overall has had terrible times adjusting to the Michigan State zone. A sign of how the half went: one of the best looks at the basket came when Dominic James heaved the ball 3/4 of the court as time expired in the half. The shot rattled in and out.
They hardly have any two-point field goals in the game - proof positive that the Izzo 2-3 extended zone is a tough one to crack.
* Weber State hung tough, but a late UCLA run made it 37-19 at the half. Tonight's teams have really shown some terrific defense.
Ohio State held Central Connecticut to under 20 points in its first 20 minutes of play...
* Xavier/BYU is playing tonight. I hope they show up better than their conference mates. 33... 33 points...
* To make it all worse, CBS still has Gonzo and Norm Roberts on to talk about the games. Gonzo: "we didn't beat them." Norm: "we didn't beat them, either."
Thanks fellas. That's some insight. The fact that both of you are sitting next to Tony Reali's illegit brother is kind of an indication that you didn't beat them, or anyone of record, this season.
Bitter...and better.
* Checked in on the WNIT, Iona vs. LIU, and the broadcast team of men's assistant coaches Vin Parise and Nick Macarchuk. Coach Parise's got a future in the biz. Nick is handing the color duty quite well...
That's it for now. Be back later...
