    That was a bizarre concession. But WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    The postgame interview with Leonard Hamilton was... odd. Apparently being down 4 with 11 left on the clock against a team that struggles at the free throw line is "game was over."

    The one guy who shoots it well did have the ball and FSU sucks at threes, but yeah, weird.

    Anyway, Beate Wagner is flying in from Germany for the Final Four. Michigan's 8-0 with her in attendance (the last two Big Ten tournaments).

    We also have a nonagerian superfan:

    That's former Congressman and Twitter all-star John Dingell

    Not really a surprise, but Nova won. Duke/Kansas are tied with 9:31 left.

    Michigan/Loyola will be your early game next week. 6:09 tip time (eastern). Villanova vs. this winner approximately 8:49. All games on TBS.

    Ken Pomeroy's dream of the NIT champion having a better efficiency margin than the NCAA champion is alive. Would take PSU winning and Loyola winning a couple very close games. Even then not sure.

    AP did their coach of the year voting before the tournament, so Tony Bennett won it. Beilein didn't get a vote which is kind of absurd.

    Penn State is doing all they can in this game to make that dream a reality. I was worried about a letdown given how the game started after doing so well against Maroon MSU, but holy shit this has turned into a beat down of epic proportions. Carr and Garner have combined for less than 20 points and we're up by 19 with 5 to go.

    It’s kind of weird they play an entire tournament to figure out the 69th best team in the nation

    Less that and more a "which team is the one that should have actually been in the tournament?"

    It's a relic of a pre-real national title system. NIT was more prestigious for a while.

    Penn State is now higher on Kenpom than three 4 seeds. I assume at 19th they're the highest rated NIT champion ever.

    Alright lower angle camera man. I know you work hard and earn your pay. But I don't ever really want to see your angle. If you could get whatever your boss thinks are worse shots so they switch to you less that would be great. We have optimized the angle for watching basketball.

    I actually like it when they're walking the ball up the court. But otherwise yeah stick to the regular angles.

    Why doesn't Michigan just throw it to Wagner / Teske every time down? Loyola is so small...

    So this is free throws vs. offensive rebounding.

    Alumnus is singular for men, alumna for women. Alumni is plural. Alum works for everything though!

    The horn is bad but whoever set up the rest of the sound seems to get us a looot more court talk/sideline talk than normal, which I like.
