    March Madness wii be upon us in the near future. We have always used Yahoo in the past with the exception of one year and that was ESPN, when Yahoo chose not to participate. This year I am considering using both Yahoo and ESPN. That would allow everyone to have a little better chance of winning. Appreciate thoughts either way. Both contests would be straight picks!

    MSU upset at Minnesota 76-73. A wild finish by MSU but could not cover the deficit. The Go[hers led the entire game. Tough loss for MSU for sure.

    Watched the 2nd half of the A&M/Alabama game. It was one of those last team with the ball wins. Up and Down the court, change of leads. The Tide needed that win badly. Aggies played well for sure.

    Gosh-darnit! I wanted a DUB!
    Oh well... on to Florida at home.
    That one is a tough match up for the Aggies... they have a ton of size, and we have one guy inside pretending to be 6-8.

    Longhorn ladies got a big win last night over LSU and Bayou Barbie. 77-64. Vic Schaffer, Longhorn coach, IMHO shouldn't have publically railed against the SEC schedule a few weeks ago after a loss at LSU. So he really needed to beat them last night and he got that win. They have a very strong team with a certain 1st team AA in Madison Booker and a AA as well in Rori Harmon along with a Freshman AA in Aalyah Crump who is a big part of the rotation now.

    Never like to see that, sorry it happened.
    As I said before... this was a "tall" order for the Aggies... they had to shoot lights out to get a win, and they did the opposite - shooting well below the season average.
    Congrats to Bill and his team on getting a big road win.

    Lost to the better team tonight. Great plays on both sides and few questionable calls, even with Tony Padilla in the crew. I am very impressed by Melvin Council Jr.

    One terrific comeback by the Huskers AJ, tough one to loose at home.

    Tough loss in OT vs the Boilermakers AJ. But taking them to OT was a great effort that ddin' pan out in the end.

    Better practice our free throws. :confused: Nebraska had our number in the second half. I’ll take a road win against a really good team no matter how ugly it was.
