Did anyone watch the Iowa-UConn game last night? Great game, that ended on a controversial call. At first, I didn't know what happened. When they showed the replay of the screen, it looked like a good call. The player from UConn was clearly moving, including lifting her left elbow.

I have far more interest in the women's Final Four this year than the men's. Tonight, I may actually watch Wrestlemania over the men's Final Four.

I don't even think it should be controversial.  Watch the play:

I think UConn will easily win the next two games in the men's tourney.

Pretty sloppy game between Purdue and NC State..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

He’s like a poor man’s Yao Ming that can’t shoot. Not sure his game is going to translate well to the NBA.

Could he play as well as Luke Kornet?

Maybe with couple years experience

Perdue will be cannon fodder for UConn

Luke looks to be a better athlete. He runs the floor well and seems more fluid in movement. I’m not sure how much Edey can improve his athleticism/movement. I think Queta is a better prospect.

I'd be fine with Edey at 30.  I've seen him go around that spot or early 2nd, which seems about right.

If Bronny James can apparently get drafted as high as the late first or early 2nd round, then Edey 1000% can too. I also saw the mock that had Edey at 30 to Boston. Honestly, fine with me.

Bama is fierce and scrappy defense. Helterskelter ball confuses UConn some. I d never seen Bama play.

Bama has the highest scoring offense in the nation.  Bama's defense had been somewhat lacking most of the season but it has picked up in the tournament.
