INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA announced Monday that all 67 men’s basketball tournament games including the Final Four will be played entirely in Indiana in a bid to keep the marquee event from being called off for a second consecutive year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Games will be played one at a time on two courts inside Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. They will also be held at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Hinkle Fieldhouse, Indiana Farmers Coliseum, Mackey Arena at Purdue, and Assembly Hall in Bloomington.

Let me guess? Nobody in the stands because covid knows a basketball game is being played?

Why don’t they play outside?.....................

[rktman]

And, NFC!

Hey!

NCAA!

Go ask the Democrats for some money.

The college game, formerly interesting, has changed into what is essentially a 3 point shooting contest, IMO.

“What can we do to make people like us again?”

“Let’s play all our games in Indiana.”

“Isn’t Indiana a racist name? Aren’t we supporting racism?”

“Crap.”

You must be watching different teams than I do. For #1 Gonzaga, less than a third of their FG attempts are from beyond the arc. They are also the most unselfish team in college basketball, and it's not just me saying it. There's an assist credited on roughly 2 out of 3 baskets.

At one point during the Virginia game, the defending national champion, the Zags recorded 17 assists on 23 baskets.

Boycott them. Get the woke PC out of the NCAA.

[Organic Panic]

I look forward to not watching a single sporting event.

Is “Indian” in “Indiana” the next woke target?

Haven’t seen them play, no. Refreshing to hear.

One day during the holidays, my youngest son was visiting and we turned a game on (can’t recall who). As a joke, we started saying “oh look, a 3 pointer!” each time either team shot one. We repeated it dozens of times until we got tired of it.

I prefer to think of it as “In Diana”. No racism there only good memories.

[nascarnation]

I doubt it.
We will be honoring 50% of the heritage of President Kamalamdingdong Devi Gopalan-Harris.

I'll admit my bias, it's well known here...just ask DFWgator...lol.

My life pretty much revolves around Zag hoops from October to early April. I graduated from there 45 years ago, but the basketball program didn't strike gold until 1999-2000 when the Zags made it to the Elite 8.

Over the past 5 years, the only thing we've missed is getting to the mountaintop. We lost to UNC in the championship game in 2017, though we've made the Sweet Sixteen the last 5 years.

There's a real culture of family with the program, and the way they treat kids is awesome. Rather than drone on, these 3 pictures illustrate the bond developed between Corey Kispert and my grandson. Corey remembered my grandson by name when they reconnected in November 2019 in College Station. That continued following the Virginia game in Fort Worth on 12/26.

Nice try. My Red’s Kins idea was buried. :-)

[day10]

That’s just great! Outstanding pics!

I’m a bit of a throwback, I suppose. Loved the game growing up, big IU/Coach Knight fan. After IU did what they did to Coach, I really didn’t have a team and just saw the teams in this area slowly go to 3 pointers all the time. I miss the days of changing defenses, trayegically throwing on the press, etc.

[day10]

Strategically.

Can’t type.

Great story!
