I don't see another thread for random non-Valpo NCAA chatter. So, I guess this is that.
That was the most anticlimactic ending for the first game.
14 seed UAB is within 2 of Iowa State, with minutes to play... and this is on _truTV_?
I wonder what fraction of households get truTV? I saw that was where the play-in games was sent, but didn't realize they were going to have "real" games there.
I trust the NCAA's still doing good, free streaming?

I'm only seeing scores. This was ND? Won by 4? I'd hoped it was exciting, but not so?

ND tried the home run play up 2 with 30 seconds left but threw it out of bounds. Northeastern held the ball for the last shot (something I disagree with) but ended up fumbling it and turning it over to ND. After a quick foul, ND sank both free throws with 2 seconds left.

I believe if you get TBS and TNT, you'll get truTV.

CBS used truTV, TBS & TNT for games last year, also. truTV is on Comcast & Bright House basic and digital packages.
man, we'd have beaten Iowa State so hard, but I am so happy for UAB after all their athletic dept has been put through this year.

Its been like that for awhile now. I always write the number and channel in sharpie on a piece of paper and tape them on the wall above my TV. I think the games used to be carried by CBS sub stations like 4-1, 4-2, 4-3 etc.
Down goes Baylor. Good day to be a mid-major, bad day to be a Big 12 team.
Guys the Mizzou loss is looking REALLY bad if the top teams in the Big 12 are falling like flies. We're still talking about how that hurt our RPI right?

Maybe I misread what you are trying to say but Mizzou moved to the SEC.

Stupid realignment ruining a perfectly good joke. Let's pretend that it's 2010 and realignment hasn't ruined my ability to name who is in what conference. West Virginia is still in the Big East, not in a conference with Texas and Oklahoma
The impact of the excessive number of timeouts is magnified in these NCAA tourney games. They totally disrupt the flow of the game and make them much less enjoyable to watch.

GOALTENDING???
I didn't like the call at first, but after seeing the replays I thought it was the right call. UCLA shouldn't have been in the tournament in the first place and they are probably going to end up in the Sweet 16

Same as your TV subscriptions. If you have Tru-tv, TNT and TBS on your TV system then you can watch those channels on your computer by providing the name of your internet provider and the website will check if you are subscribed. CBS is free no matter what TV subscription you currently have.
I feel good for Ron Hunter and the players at Georgia State. Ron Hunter seems to be a character yet a decent guy.

I'll have to check for truTV - must be up in the stratosphere some where. Online, I was thinking of their own web page, used to be CBS March Madness On Demand or some such. Used to be that was free for everyone, TV package or no package.
But, yeah, since I do currently have cable I could also just watch the various channels directly, rather than through a NCAA-specific page.

I suppose I won't forget which team RJ plays for now! But, yeah, I was at _least_ always pleased with Ron's Samaritan's Feet enthusiasm.
I've not seen the replay yet, or even read more than a one sentence description. But... Scott Drew was upset... by the coach's son... hitting a 3... at the buzzer? Really?
You wonder how this is going to affect Bryce, tomorrow!

The CBS March Madness On Demand website knows who you are--not sure exactly how it works--and if you give them your TV system provider they can check if your subscription includes TNT, Tru-tv and TBS. Time Warner doesn't give anything away for free.

Ah, I wonder if this is new? My recollection, from France at least, was that it was just true. Seemed almost too good to be true. Maybe it's only outside the US. (Justin Pahl suggested that NCAA basketball hasn't hit it big in Turkey, even if the NBA's popular.)

I apologize. Either I have a TV system that pays this for me, Comcast X-finity, or what the website said was incorrect. I'm sorry for misleading everybody. I'm currently able to watch SFA/Utah on my computer and I don't have Tru-tv on my TV system.
EDIT:
How can I watch all live games?
TV subscribers can enjoy unlimited and uninterrupted access to every live game as part of their TV provider subscription by logging in with their username and password. Fans can also enjoy a complimentary live video pass before log in is required.This game (SFA/Utah) could be my pass so it may not continue.
SECOND EDIT:
I'm able to also watch the LSU/NC State game on TBS (no subsciption to TBS) so whatever the reason I am watching channels on my computer that I don't usually get on my TV.
And, indeed, with Valpo Comcast not-too-special package cable I do have truTV. Not in the stratosphere. In the 70's, near HGTV, NBCSP. SFA not going to do it.

My DVR finds it for me.
Pac 12 and Big 10 are playing well in the tournament.
Excited for the Butler ND game today. I heard that Roosevelt Jones sprained his knee against Texas but will play. Butler is going to need his defense at 100% if they are going to stand a chance against ND's offense. I can see it as a blow out win in favor of ND or a close game in favor of Butler.
Butler - Notre Dame was a great game. Both teams played great, but Notre Dame hit the shots in overtime.

Loved every second of the Kansas defeat. The same KU top dog mentality that is the norm for the big boys is bad for college basketball.

That must have been a
shocker for you, vu84v2.
Love how completely outmatched and outworked Kansas looked.
Guys, the NCAA has the March Madness On Demand site at http://www.ncaa.com/march-madness. (http://www.ncaa.com/march-madness.) Here, you can get every game live or on demand, and if you can't watch, you can access the Westwood One radio coverage from the site as well. No need to go searching individual station websites for this. What sucks is that there aren't ads about this being shown during the games as a friendly reminder to those who can't watch on tv somewhere.
Glad that justducky and a3uge enjoyed the KU - Wichita State game so much. While I am not sure that KU was outmatched, they were indeed outworked. Perhaps they were indeed outmatched on maturity.
By the way, is Valpo's top dog mentality bad for the Horizon League? Perhaps Valpo should not be confident about their chances in the Horizon League next year.

The @rockchalkjayhawk twitter feed was absolutely hilarious yesterday.
Louisville was excellent against UNI. UNI fans have been complaining about the officiating but Louisville was better overall. They are a long shot sleeper to win it all.
I may be off here, UCLA against Gonzaga is an intriguing matchup as the Bruins are currnently on a roll.
Wichita St. - ND will be a decent match too.
I look forward to what I think will be the best tournament game - Zona vs. Wisco.
Glad that several people seemed to enjoy Kansas' loss and then enjoyed the small minority of fans that post their frustration on a website. They seem to make their appearances on talk radio too. Suffice it to say, most people here groaned at the loss and then quickly moved on. Lawrence is one of the best college basketball towns in the country and the majority of people see the players as someone from the community,with the exception of players who go off and do stupid things (e.g., Naadir Tharpe, Connor Frankamp).

That rendering video is really interesting. Do the players get to have any kind of a college or campus experience? Do the professors come to them for classes? Never realized that Kansas was the bastion of isolationist political thinking that it must be.
I know it was NIT but I have seen no mention of the Murray St game. A complete lopsided blowout with Tulsa never really in the game. I dozed off several times in the last 10 minutes but I believe it was a 21 point margin with MSU up at one time by 26. I watched Tulsa a bit in their conference tournament and assumed on their home floor they would win by 5. MSU really put it to them. Makes you wonder if Tulsa belonged on that bubble.
Men's and women's basketball players at Kansas are currently in a dorm where they are half of the total population. The new dorm will have the same ratio of basketball players to other students. There are no classes offered in any dorm and the basketball players, like all students, will need to go to classes in other buildings. While the new dorm is opulent (to say the least), it is being funded by outside donations. The dorm that I believe Valpo's players live in is likely better than the current dorm for KU players, but obviously this will be way above anything most private schools could do.
There are a variety of donors that fill the Phil Knight role, though I doubt that any of them donate as much as Knight does to Oregon. David Booth, who also donated money for the new rules of basketball, the new business building and (I believe) about $100M to the University of Chicago School of Business, is the most recognized of those donors.
There will be no fences, battlements or moats with ill-tempered sea bass.

My thinking was more in the lines of Rock Chalk Moat and McDonalds All-American Castle.
I would prefer the "Dr Evil moat of ill-tempered sea bass". You might need a fence to go with the moat, since the new business building is about 50 yards from the new dorm.
I really felt for West Virginia and was almost glad we hadn't found our way to the sweet sixteen. Bob Huggins' walking the sideline in hopeless befuddlement is painful just to recall. I wouldn't have wanted to see Bryce placed in that situation. As good as we will be next year lets keep Kentucky off the schedule. Those guys should be limited to NBA opponents.
With the United Center as a Regional Site for the NCAA next year... we may have teams lined up willing to play us there... like Kentucky...

although still stocked/stacked with McD's all americans, no doubt.
