Mike Everitt

Controversy aside about the four ejections in Detroit tonight, the fact according to Katie Strang of ESPN that he wouldn't allow radio in his post-game interview is unacceptable. Reminds me when John...

I'm trying to remember the last Final Four game decided on a game ending buzzer beater. Nantz has done 75 Final Four games and I do not think he has ever had one of those.

On this date, every year I would ask if the NCAA tournament would use 'precision timing'. Apparently they are.

So now I ask, how many instances will we see the scorers table fail to stop the clock...
