"He stroked it admirably." Nice color commentary, Vern.

I'm not sure we had three games this good in the entire first round last year.

What an effort by RMU. The finish was disappointing, even though a Nova loss would've destroyed my bracket. The officiating in the last few minutes of regulation was suspect at best. OT wasn't much better, particularly the jump ball fiasco. In regular time, Scottie Reynolds was the main beneficiary, shooting like 8 free throws in the last few minutes, which helps when you're 1-14 from the floor (at the time). At the end of regulation, fouls were 26-16 in favor of Nova. I'm just sayin'...

Jimmer was the hero in BYU's 2OT win, scoring 37 and hitting two crucial 3s in the second OT. He could've been a goat, after that bad turnover at the end of regulation that gave Florida a chance to win, but instead bouces back for the performance of the day...so far.

Great effort, Bobby Morris. And at the same time, thanks for saving my bracket, Nova.

  1. He stroked it deeply as well... what??? I think Vern needs to check the term "stroke" at the door.

  3. Vern's usage of "stroke" and Bill Rafferty's usage of "guys going to the bench to get a blow" crack me up.

  5. Bob Morris really got hosed. Nice to know when your shot isn't falling you can just repeatedly barrel into the lane and get 20 points of free throws. Looked like a NBA crew out there. Scottie Reynolds has been around way too long.
