@CoachFinamore Plus - he knows David Thompson too!

@CoachFinamore BTW - If YOU remember him, and I do - why would u assume nobody else would? Our audiences are smart and sports savvy.

@CoachFinamore Bill Russell? Jerry West? Need we explain who these players were with every reference? No. That's silly. Many remember DT.
@CoachFinamore Sorry you are not a fan - but you provide no specifics. Me, I thought it was a good broadcast, good finish. Dave OB
@CoachFinamore You can't dumb down, Coach. If you don't know who David Thompson is, I'm surprised - a prolific leaper, great player.

Hey Coach - sorry you didn't enjoy that. Not sure why - pretty good game. Happy with it. Dave OB

At one point, Marquette was 2 for 21 ... Ugh. But Vandy has hit 7 of 12 from three. We'll see if Buzz can cut into this lead.

Jimmy D and I in Lexington - no students, but a packed house at Rupp anyway. Tremendous fans!

@AlexKwaffle I'm hoping this one comes down to a last second shot like last year's UNC-Texas did, my friend! Tar Heels want different end!

Texas point guard Myck Kabongo is a terrific kid. Speaks fluent French. Says he uses it in games with Wangmene. We hope to hear it on ESPN.
