Lehigh gets a 13 seed against West Virginia. A little better than I expected - thought they'd get a 14 at best. Best of Luck.

NCAA getting some bad press out of the women's tourney. Apparently the workout area at the women's bubble in Texas is tiny compared to the men's area in Indy..
Obviously the men's tourney brings in a lot of money and the women's is probably a financial loser, but that's a pretty stupid blunder to not provide reasonably equitable facilities. Especially in a social media crazy era where the world is going to find out about it

The NCAA doesn’t always make the right decisions.

And now the food is being rightly criticized at the women’s tournament- their food looks like ‘fast food’ compared to what the men are eating

The workout room opened a can of worms. Now people are looking for stuff. It has also been pointed out that the men have 68 teams and the women have 64

You’re more likely to see fewer nice things on the men’s side than more nice things on the women’s side. At the end of the day, it’s about making money.

Lehigh is undefeated all time vs WVU. Piece of cake. Seriously, despite how good Lehigh played against HC and how they ran the table in the PLT, this has the potential of the Mountaineers making the Mountain Hawks look like they are wearing cement overshoes. Good luck Lehigh.

After playing a pretty good first half, WVU ends to 3rd on a 21-3 run to take a 65-39 lead after3.

Folks, the balance you see in the men’s game is a far cry from where the women’s game is - ‘the chalk’ held up completely yesterday and will do so again today in the 1st round games - maybe you see close scores in the 8-9 or 7-10 games but that’s logical. Lehigh really had no realistic chance vs WVU. Athletisism and size are always lacking at the low-mid major rosters. The only chance HC has to break through is to attract elite athletes to our campus

Actually pleased to say I was wrong to say today would also be a 'chalk' day - so far 3 lower seeded teams have won - the higher seeds to fall are Rutgers, Arkansas and Gonzaga.

I caught some of the game. On one play in the second half Katie was leading a three on none fast break and she still dished off for her teammate to score.

Kind of surprised a 9 didn't beat an 8 or a 10 beat a 7. The wins were by an 11, 12 and 13. I guess you could say a hell of a seeding job by the selection committee.

Or a particularly difficult year to seed due to the lack of OCC play by so many teams

Watching UConn-Syracuse WBB. Huskies 19-14 at end of first quarter. Nice to see CD (Chris Dailey) patrolling in front of the bench. Take your time recovering Geno.
