If TBS (which I also get ) bid more isn't that on the broadcast networks for being too cheap?

Sure, I'll root for UNC today, but if Cinderella keeps riding their pumpkin to the Final Four I couldn't be too upset about it.
If you were Roy Williams, you'd think it's pretty cool if UNC plays Kansas that you were the head of one or the other of those programs for 33 years.
Halfway there.
Edit: Opps, I jinxed them. Sorry.

I didn't watch. I saw a score in the highlights with no volume and applied some distracted math. How is it you say, Opps

To go easy on them would have been insulting. They're a fine team that had a great year. I love what their coach said after they beat Purdue "What they gonna say now?"

Re: College basketball
"Watch out for UNC" ?
Duke is still favored by 4, as is KS, despite:
UNC beating Duke in the regular season finale, by 13!;
Both losing to VT in the ACC Championship, Duke by more (15 vs 12);
UNC MM run beating #9, #1, #4 and #15, Duke beat #15, #7, #3, #4;
UNC's smallest margin was 7 (twice), Duke's was 5 vs TT;
UNC having 2 margins > 19, Duke's largest was 17.
Idk, I'm rooting for Coach K, but I might take UNC +4 if I was gambling.

Yep, if I were setting the odds there would be no favorite.

Of course, it could also be a stomping on one or the other. Hope not.

Re: College basketball
Look at these two sidebars - dozens of NCAA Tournament Appearances, all of the later round appearances, and UNC's 6 NCAA Tournament Championships vs Duke's 5.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Blue ... basketball
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Car ... basketball
Even if the seeders were keeping them apart until the Final Four like this year, or later, it seems that random chance would have thrown them together a few times.

Here's hoping for double digit lead changes and a buzzer beating finale, or a couple of OTs.

Re: College basketball
I would be a fine day to be anywhere around Chapel Hill today. I actually was there for the '82 championship. All the downtown streets, and much of the adjacent campus areas were absolutely jammed. A lot of rowdiness, no real destruction or violence. The next morning the street sweeping machines had piled up mountains of beer cans and other trash, probably including some students. Looked like the morning after Mardi Gras and still smelled like beer and pot.

I so do not care who wins Villanova/Kansas.
Someone tell me who to root for and why.

Re: College basketball
From the start, Kansas is looking to kick some butt. But it's a longish game, who knows. I'll root for Villanova 'cause they're a Philly team and not an Oz team, and because I think UNC or Duke might do better with them than Kansas. Either way, to me, it's like an opening act, a bottom of the card match, a preview reel...

Still not caring except for the Duke/NC factor, sounds like that might have to be good enough.
