Depends on how WNBA players smell: Pretty and perfumy Owensboro goes 0-34 Like sweaty men Owensboro goes 34-0

No.

Why is it important for you to do this at all? It never changes anything. I doubt that the ump is sitting back thinking "wow that's a great point". Many times when I hear a parent telling the umpire "how they feel", it seems to me all they're doing is trying to show up the ump, or to show everybody in the stands they know more than the umpire. I do think positions of authority need to be respected. Does that mean we follow them blindly? No! But showing respect sets a very positive example for your kids. I am not perfect in this regard. I do mumble stuff under my breath (sometimes audible) when there is a bad call, especially when my kids are playing. It's difficult not to have an emotional attachment. But I do not blatantly complain so that the umpire can hear me. Doing so to me is disrespectful, immature, and self-serving.

I get what you are saying, but it doesn't matter if they were the best or not. They won the prize. In sales - the best sales rep does not always win the sale and the commissions, But the rep who wins the sale gets EVERYTHING and the other sales rep gets nothing. The only thing that matters is who gets the sale - nothing else (ethics etc aside). So it does not matter if UConn was the best team or not.....they won the prize that ALL NCAA teams were shooting for!!! Nobody hangs a "We were the best team but didn't win the tournament" plaque in their trophy case.

It has become too commonplace for disrespectful behavior towards umps, refs, etc. I HATE it!! There is no reason for the yelling, screaming and derogatory comments towards them from fans and especially coaches. I think schools, leagues, and the umps and refs themselves need to stop tolerating it.

Not picking on anybody in particular - but when the fouls in a game are unbalanced (47-22 was referenced above) - why is it never because one team just simply fouled more than the other? Why is it always an officiating issue?

I cant believe you did either!! I watched the 30 for 30 on him, and I think it was supposed to "humanize" him............didn't work!! I still hate Christian Laettner.

It doesn't matter. All that matters is that Owensboro won the State Tournament. All else is irrelevant fluff.

I'm Verizon also. I couldn't get a live feed on my phone or Ipad. I'll need to sit in your section next year!!

My son was having NCAA withdrawals. My 3G worked well enough to get scores etc, but not well enough for live feeds. I agree that we were there to watch the High School games, but also agree it is a different time. Even I would like to multi-task as see the NCAA feeds from my iPad when convenient. I think it is silly the KHSAA or Rupp does not provide WiFi service for the tournament.

This is something my son and I spoke about. I took my iPad so we could watch NCAA during halftime, breaks, etc. No public WiFi available, and was not able to connect via 3G. Having WiFi availability would make it more palatable when the NCAA and the Sweet 16 share the same week. Heck - I would even pay for WiFi to get access if it were available!!!

Wow - that is staggering!!! Any idea what the attendance totals looks like for the entire tournament for these same years??

15. The sense of pride felt as a fan/parent watching your team/kids play on the floor at Rupp Arena is a feeling words cannot describe. I cherished every minute and will never forget a thing. I've gotten to do this twice now. I'm with you - cool stuff!!!!!

I am one of these diehards as well. I cant imagine a time where I wont want to attend - I love it. But it is a major expense in regards to money and time. I don't mind spending either to attend. But you have to be COMMITTED to go for the entire tournament as I do. Willing to take vacation, willing to spend considerable dollars for a hotel, food, etc. I think @CincySportsFan summed it up pretty well. Too many entertainment options available today that weren't available 15-20 years ago. My college-aged son goes with me every year, but would not go if I were not footing the bill for the week. He would stay home, watch the games he wanted via the internet, and have all week to watch the NCAA games of his choice. It's great father/son time - that I cherish dearly - and he does as well. But he (and his generation) do not have the driving motivation to attend this event that I do. It's just a different time. When I stop going (hopefully not for a long time) - that will be 4 less tickets that get sold. I cant imagine my son will carry on my annual pilgrimage to "The Greatest Show in Hoops" once I decide to stop going. Even the phenomenal creamy-whips wont be enough to lure him in.

I thought from the onset that owensboro was the best team in the tournament. Good to see them play well all tournament and win the title.

Agree with this but would love a Saturday night final.

It's awesome to see unselfish sports parents.

Don't know much about greatest shots in CovCath history, but I cant imagine one bigger than that!!! Had they won that game, there would be a statue of him at the school. Clutch.

Great win by BG - they looked like the better team from the start. Deangelo Wilson was impressive and took it aggressively to the rim all night. Kid can play. Should be a good game tonight. I hope owensboro's injured big man is able to play so both teams are at full strength.

Great, great game. During regulation I thought CovCath had it for sure. Their offense was clicking, making it look easy to get the shots they wanted. At the same time it looked like Owensboro didn't get many easy baskets. in the overtime things changed and covcath seemed a little out of sorts. Not sure if maybe they got tired? That said, what a well coached and disciplined team covcath is. They flat don't make many mistakes. You have to play well to beat them. And Owensboro played well. Congrats to them and good luck.

Don't think it was his leg.

Thanks guys. It must be a "me thing". I tried it on both my iPad and my iPhone and that is just a pic for me. It comes up as "pic.twitter.com/....... Thanks for tying though..

I'm a "Twit-iot" - I can't find the video. I only saw a pic. What am I doing wrong!!

There have been some great basketball moments, and I am sure more to come on Saturday and Sunday. But the "The Dancing Kid" from Friday was absolutely awesome. I was so caught up in the 5-star performance that I failed to take a video. Did anyone else capture the moment? If so, can you share? Loving every second of the Sweet 16 again this year!!!

We will know definitively when it becomes a "30 for 30" episode.
