Wondering why CBS wanted to tell us that kansas's center had a 7'3" wingspan.

I was wondering, too. He's 7 feet tall. A 7'3" wingspan isn't that impressive.

Looks like Kansas and UNC started playing more to their respective seeds.

I thnk Roy Williams pees down his leg at the sight of Bill Self in his region.

I mean, I don't expect announcers to know what Allen's Rule is, but that's probably not the biggest number on his own team

My goodness KU is going to make another Final Four.

No. They aren't getting by Michigan and Florida.

I think they're gone after this round. Michigans guards should eat them up.

I remember either reading or watching something that said on average, NBA players have much larger wingspan-to-height ratios than the average human. So if Withey's wingspan is only 3" larger than his height, he might be below average.

 

Just checking a couple to compare, Anthony Davis is 6'10 and has a 7'4 wingspan, Durant is 6'9/7'5, Dwight Howard is 6'9/7'4 and LeBron 6'8/7'0.

Switched over to FGCU and SDSU game. The other two aren't even competitive.

On the downside, you have to listen to Reggie Miller and Len Elmore in that game.

It'll be sweet watching them go down to Michigan or Florida.

If we win this one, we will definitely have a tough time w Michigan. Elite guards (Smart, Kalif Wyatt, Pierre Jackson) have terrorized us.

Lol, that's the only time ever Jeff withey's name will ever be mentioned with any of those guys.

[Guest]

Need a GIF of that Carolina fan after the Withey block.

[Cubswin11]

I think Withey will be a better NBA player than Zeller. I know it's not saying much, as I don't expect either of the guys to ever be more than minimal rotation players, but I think Withey could be a useful guy in the middle for 10-15 minutes a game.

All true.

[SouthSideRyan]

Did Bill Self rub his face on Aaron Craft's?

[OleMissCub]

More concerned with LaSalle than I was Wisconsin.

I didn't get to see any of the LaSalle game. Kind of disappointed they overlap with the Illini tonight, I wanted to watch them.

That sounds about right.

Well, yes, but that's Allen's Rule.

The BWW commercial would be better if they had Northwestern players saying "We're in!?!"

He's pretty athletic and runs the floor well. I could see it. I was high on McLemore, but lately he's looked like crap. Not sure what's going on with him. He's morphing into Brandon Rush.
