College Basketball 2016-17

[Ronin]

NEW YORK (AP) — The 67-game March Madness basketball tournament begins Tuesday, with many games taking place during the day when you're, ahem, supposed to be working.

Fortunately for you — but not your bosses — all NCAA Tournament games will be available online. For many of the early round games, though, you'll need a password through your cable or satellite TV subscription. The television networks no longer offer a stand-alone subscription you can buy without cable.

___


HAPPY STREAMING

The best places to watch: http://www.ncaa.com/marchmadness or the NCAA March Madness Live app. All the games will be there, regardless of where they are televised.

CBS is televising 24 games, including the national championship and the Final Four. These games won't require a cable or satellite password through the app or website, but they are viewable only on phones, tablets and computers — not streaming devices such as Apple TV, Roku or Fire TV.

Odds are 1 or 2 1-seeds will reach the Final Four. 30 of 38 years its been 1 or 2. Since 4 1-seeds reached in '08, just 10 have gotten there

Sucks that he left your program to die.

Your bias is blinding though.

Still haven't said why he shouldn't play.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Freshman forward Corey Manigault and sophomore guard Crisshawn Clark are transferring from Pittsburgh.

The players announced the move shortly after the Panthers finished a disappointing 16-17 season in coach Kevin Stallings' first year. Manigault appeared in 18 games, averaging less than a point and a rebound per contest.

he's already quit at Cal so widely believed to have the Missouri job.

Will be interesting to see if Cal hires Russ Turner this time around. Mike Montgomery strongly recommended him the last time around but Cal hired Cuonzo, got some elite recruits but underachieved with them.

Cal sites are bringing up Eric Musselman from Nevada too, coached the Warriors and Kings so has California ties.

Somewhere between 5 and 7 years, $3M to $3.5M.

4th job since 2008, ~.600 winning percentage, and like, 2 tournament appearances? Wow....

There are apparently already rumors that Michael Porter JR and his brother will ask out of their LOI's at UW and follow Martin to Missouri. They are from Missouri originally, the brother Johntay is supposed to graduate early so both would be freshmen next year. Michael is of course VERY good.

If that rumor is true it likely means Romar is on the way out, recently was reported he was staying so who knows.

But if true Martin would at least have some talent his first year but I agree he's been pretty mediocre. He's from East St Louis which is right across the river from Missouri(the state) so he's pretty local. Evan Daniels said he was offered the Illinois job too. I don't know if he has any connection to the Porter family but I'm assuming he'll hire the dad just like Romar did if that rumor is true.
