Not watching any of the Tourney, but sounds as though bracket busting ORU is on a roll given the teams they have beaten.....

The Coaches look like idiots wearing masks on the sidelines trying to talk to players. What will happen to them if they take off those stupid masks? The refs will kick them out of game?

There was a girl in my high school with the last name Roberts, and her nickname was Oral, yet I don’t recall her being too religious.

I’d say this blew my brackets right out of the water except they were a mess long before this upset.

I’m on my first cup of coffee and had forgotten about Oral Roberts, the man, so Justice Roberts was the first thing that popped into my head.

The reporters look even worse, with no one except the cameraman closer than 20ft and still wearing their Joe Biden mask.

They have to agree to the masks to play. The coaches keep pulling them down to yell. It is obviously a joke.
