That's how it's supposed to be. The R's for the games during the first session are the alternates for the games during the second session. The R's for the second session games serve as the alternates for the first session games.

Hey Dblref-

How long are you in Omaha?
Get ahold of me if you would like to go catch a game Friday night, Have a few "pops" and talk hoops

Sports Illustrated always (lately) has a tournament issue where they have a collage (sp?) of players and coaches. I got mine and actually thought they might have used the same pictures from last year. After looking closer, players like Greg Oden and such were on the cover. Bruce Pearl was on the cover from his game in the chearing section. There was one referee on the cover too. Ted Valentine. Teddy is somewhat of a celebrity. I actually think it is funny how he gets on some people's nerves - and the fact that I fully believe he does some things on purpose to do it. Has anyone tried to go out and buy some Nikes with a Big A$$ white swoosh on them? Not an easy task which - along with knowing his personality - tells me he is going out of his way to find, buy and wear those shoes.
I didn't catch what kind they are, but Zelton Steed was wearing some shoes yesterday that either had grey, gray , white or an air sole on them. On a side note, it seemed like that crew wasn't in sync the whole game. The other two officials seemed like they were pressing (to make calls) some of the time.

Brian Forte is working the Florida game. He has that flavor in his game - just waiting for his father to retire so he can move up.

Sorry, I'm home now. Was there from Monday (3/12) thru Friday (3/16). Flew out yesterday (busy, busy place with all of the cancellations going east). Was supposed to get back to DC around 10:15pm and got here about 1:00am.

I was watching the beginning of the IN/UCLA game, and they mentioned Jim Burr was in the hospital for gastrointestinal illness. I believe one of the refs working this game was taking Jim's place. Anybody heard any more, how he's doing, etc.?
