CBS needs to figure out which games will draw best when - they usually announce game times later tonight or early tomorrow. The second session in Chicago starts at 6:00 PM CST I think while the first starts at noon. Tonight JT3 said he thought he would know by midnight.

Prepping for two teams is the same as when you have a bye in the BET.
And you have more time than one day.

Let the disrespect proliferate; Gottlieb already picking USC to beat Hoyas. Just what this bunch needs: a wake up call (not that CW's return hasn't already woken them). This could be fun.

What is this truTV and does anyone actually have it? Comcast down here in DC has it. You probably have it and dont even know it. I have never once turned it on.

Great draw, but who knows which team will show up or if we will have any new sets for the struggling O

Digger still loves us. Nice 5 second plug for Gtown at the end of the show.

Good to see ESPN offering equal time to two clowns on opposite ends of the spectrum. What a country!

Watching the folks on ESPN completely trash VCU (and UAB) brought back memories of 2006. Think George Mason had a chip on its shoulder when everyone thought they had no place in the tournament? Either way, the team we play will have just come off a win, which means they will be playing with confidence. The same can't be said for us.

Nice 5 second plug for Gtown at the end of the show. just might be the kiss of death haha he's right though...if we can somehow regain our earlier form...and yes thats a BIG if we have the ability to have a shot at a nice run. That's what's so infuriating about this team the last few years....we have the ability to beat anyone but also lose to anyone at the same time. I really think that has been why there is so much anger/confusion/despair on these boards recently. Never seen such a bi-polar squad

Thought the same thing, but hey, they still have to win a game just to play us, and that cant be a bad thing.

So what's this about USC's coach getting into a fight at a hotel. Is this story correct?

I would assume this severely handicaps USC, as they have a raving lunatic coach that the players can't respect or look up to. Sounds like a sinking ship.

VCU:
Veteran team 4 of top 5 scorers are senior the other in the top 5 is a junior. Deep rotate ten guys. balanced scoring. They shoot a lot of 3s 40.8 3PA/FGA They steal the ball a lot 10th best steal %. Not a great defensive team though 143rd. give up high 3pt and 2pt % 231st and 237th respecitvely 236th in eFG% defense. They're a bad defensive rebounding team so Julian could get his mojo going with put backs. 319th in Deff reb% also don't grab offensive rebounds 216th. Don't get to the FT line much 137th in FTA/FGA They get their shot blocked a lot on offense 219th in the nation. have an inconclusive defensive finger print.
USC: Also a veteran team. 3 seniors 2 juniors and 2 freshman is their rotation as they only play 7 guys. balanced scoring. Pretty much the Tennessee of the West several good to great wins(Texas, Tennessee, UCLA, Arizona, Washington) several terrible losses(TCU, Rider, Bradley, Oregon St, Swept by oregon). Solid defensive team 30th. But don't force turnovers 268th. Don't steal the ball 181st and don't block shots 218th. Great on the defensive boards 19th but terrible on the offensive boards 234th. Don't get to the FT line 257th and don't hit their FTs when they do get there 65.3% as a team 282nd. Don't get their shots blocked 20th, defend the 2pter well 54th and don't turn the ball over much 52nd. Don't shoot a lot of 3's 203rd in 3PA/FGA Play mostly Man defense
