For about the last 15 years I take the first 2 days of the tournament off from work and sit and immerse myself in college BB for 4 days.
I have 5 TV's set up to watch all the games. My wife just rolls her eyes. 
Best sports month ahead…tourney, opening day, masters, NFL draft.
Big Ten 1-0 with MI State win. Always hope for a strong showing by the conference.
Great comeback by Dayton. Down 17 in the 2nd half went on a 24-4 run to win it. Fuck you Steve Alford.
Pewaukee's own Jack Gohlke is ridiculous right now against Kentucky.
Gonzaga blowing McNeese St out of the water Zags up by 25 with 14 minutes left.
Gohlke one 3 away from the record. He has ten 3s tonight.
Gohlke and Domask, did they ever get a nod from Bucky?
KY's Sheppard with some bad passes tonight. 10 turnovers for KY.
Did you ever get your bracket destroyed and fucking loved it?

Every year

If a doctor ever gives you 2 minutes to live, take them at the end of a BB game.
Had Kentucky in my bracket, cheered like hell for Oakland.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Found nothing on Gohlke. About to check out Domask.
What a backcourt addition those would have been.
Left side of my bracket looks good, right side, not so much. Lost 2 Sweet 16 teams in Texas Teck and McNeese.
Dang it, why do the Badgers play so late……8:40, that’s 20 minutes before my bedtime, oh well, guess it’s Friday, so I can stay up past 9:00 eh?? Glad Marquette plays at 1:00.
Odd are they'll tip later than that. It all depends on how long the game(s) in front of them take.
FAU over Northwestern 20 - 19 at the half. Wildcats are 2-12 on 3's. FAU with 12 turnovers tho. Boo Buie with only 3 points. He will bring it on in the 2nd half. Neither bench has scored a point.
FAU over NW with 35.4 left in the game. 58-56, FAU.
Inadvertent whistle screws NW out of a possession under the FAU hoop. NW ties it up in transition with about 8 seconds left. FAU drives down the floor and the ball handler slows down, with time running out, and takes a very contested shot! If he drove to the hoop, he would have had a much better shot! Could have ended this game. OVERTIME!
Very sketchy offense from FAU in the OT period! This looks like NW's game, now!
Love Kevin Harlan, he’s announcing the Marquette game……very distinctive voice.
Lookin’ like NW is kicking ass in OT. Hope I don’t jinx em now.
Marquette got their hands full…….against a 15th seed. And that dang 15 seed just took the lead…….

Obviously has extensive ties to Wisconsin. Not only is he Bob Harlan's son, but his daughter married Sam Dekker.
I always thought Kevin Harlan would have been a good replacement for Jim Irwin, but Wayne's been good and Kevin would have been considered a nepotism hire. Wayne is about to turn 70 next year and Kevin is about 63, so it wouldn't make sense to have Kevin Harlan announce once Wayne hangs it up at this point.
He was great in the early Timberwolf days. A sorry team he needed to make interesting and fun. Much like Bob in the many late season Brewer games when they were out of it by Sept1.
I haven't seen as good a passer as Kolek in a while. He can dish.

His daughter married Sam Decker?? How cool is that…..I didn’t know that.

My brother was best friend's with Sam's dad, Todd Dekker. I met Sam a few times. Nice guy.
OK BADGERS, the ball is now in your court. F'UM BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!
