    I'd say that there were only about 50 Oregon fans there, probably at least half relatives of the players. Didn't notice them showing Phil Knight, so I think he was not there.

    My final four: South Carolina, Stanford, Iowa, UConn.

    I think Iowa wins it:
    1 They are good
    2 They made the championship game last year so now they have experience
    3 Caitlin Clark is the biggest star in women's college basketball, possibly in all women's basketball. Iowa sold out their games in 30 minutes. I am not saying tournament is rigged but in any game there are always calls that could go either way and borderline calls. Look for those calls to lean towards Iowa.

    Oakland sticking with Kentucky in the first half. Sounds like some cat named Gohlke is having a career night for Oakland

    Saying this for years
    It's what Gohlke does. He's done this to other teams. Guy just moves around non-stop and shoots and makes 3s. He's got such a quick release that he has a chance to stick with an NBA team, IMO. The Heat have had success with a couple of similar players. He's just a catch-and-shoot artist. One skill but it's an incredible skill.

    I'm actually a zags fan. Attended a couple camps up there in my youth. My McNeese prediction was mostly for the Cinderella story.

    You probably think he's better than our entire roster and how stupid we would be to NOT take him with the #4 pick right?

    That guy's obviously in his mid-30s. He may be an EX-accountant.
