It does suck when they milk the commercial angle, but remember that they have a ridiculous multi-billion dollar contract.

I like how everyone just assumed that Michigan State would have trouble with Temple because "zomg the Big Ten is tirrirble!!".
The disrespect the Big Ten gets is ridiculous. Yes they have been down athletically compared to the SEC in football and the Big East/Pac 10 in basketball, but it's not like we're the MAC all of the sudden.

Well I have disrepected the Big Ten, but Michigan State was the only team I gave respect too because I respect their coach too much.

I could coach Michigan State over Temple. It's about athleticism, ability, and size.

Don't sleep on Fran Dunphy. He knows how to coach a D. However, Izzo is much better.

Obvioulsy those are the main factors between a big conference school and a small conference school. But that doesn't always win. We see a 12 upset a 5 seed almost every year. Temple has plenty of ability. But Izzo almost always get the most out of his team and won't let them look past a small school.

Xavier making a run on the strength of FT's. They're already in the 1 and 1 with 12 minutes left. Down only 4. Big, big run, and Georgia is wilting.

Xavier came all the way back with stifling D. Georgia also cooled off. Their D has been good, but their O has stagnated. Xavier up 3 now and has a huge FT edge. Could be on the way to being over.

Xavier finally looks like that team I picked to make the Elite 8... good free throw shooting and their defense is "impregnable" to quote Mike Tyson

I really don't like when CBS turns from an interesting game to a game that is clearly over.

I have X in the Elite 8 as well. Thought this team looked a lot like the 10-seeded squad from 2001 that went to the Elite 8...

CBS sucks like that. The worst part is that even if you have the Tournament Madness package and pay extra for it, they will still switch away and completely screw you right when you're into something.

I like that they switch games, but I don't really have a favorite so I like to get a little taste of everything. That's what make March Madness fun.

Well Georgia makes it a 3 point game with a little under a minute and a half left and they refuse to stop going to MSU/Temple.

If you buy the package and have a dedicated channel, you shouldn't have to be at the whim of CBS. Period.

This happens every year and since I can't really do anything about it, I force myself to complain.
