Its a fun time to be a college hoop fan in Richmond.

Leading off

Time to determine the true legitimacy of San Diego State. It was a great year in the Mountain West, but other than BYU, SDSU hasn't played anybody like UConn. Are they up for it?

Fearless prediction:

Butler over Wisconsin.

What to look forward to today:

More Kyrie Irving. He's an interesting subplot in this tournament.

Question I don't know the answer to:

Who do you watch tonight Jimmer or Kemba? College basketball's two most
dynamic players are both on in the early time slot tonight.

Can Jimmer make it in the NBA?

Kawhi Leonard will take center stage tonight.

Nasir Robinson has handled what has to be the worst week of his life in admirable fashion.

Buzzer beaters:

College basketball will be a less interesting place without Bruce Pearl. He's getting what he deserved I suppose. But his team played a fun style and his oversized personality was entertaining. It's a shame he threw away a career with momentum. I imagine he'll be a broadcaster before long.
