Whos this kid on UCLA from Cedar Rapids?

From the Minutiae Query File: F4 tip-off times are set for 5:14 an 8:34. Not 5:15 and 8:35. But 14 and 34.

Anyone know if there's a reason for that, from broadcast standpoint? Or is it a "because we can" type of thing?

PS: Get off my lawn!

Right on schedule.

Whos this kid on UCLA from Cedar Rapids?

He lived in CR for a while but went to high school elsewhere.

I like to see the traditional starting-lineup sequence. But it isn't as good unless the announcer pronounces it "soph-o-more."

Iowa State was just this close to being in the Tournament-losing to Baylor by a combined 16 points.

Whos this kid on UCLA from Cedar Rapids?

I remember him from a long time ago. I want to say he was from CR but played at a prep school in Missouri. He was getting scholarship offers in 8th grade.

Whos this kid on UCLA from Cedar Rapids?

I was caught unawares on that, too.

Actually put some $$ down on UCLA covering. They've looked sharp in the tournament, and Cronin's enough of an animal they could stay in it.

 

[CycloneErik]

All tied up!

Lead change!

 

[madguy30]

UCLA's defense doesn't let anything be easy and Zaga is just a little tight.

 

[HoopsTournament]

What’s the #1 versus #1 record?!?!?!

24-24.

Yeah, I was thinking he was from Missouri and didn't realize he was from CR.

So is this 'I brought the sauce' song a real song?

I wouldn't put it past it to have it be high in the charts these days.

He attended a Prep School in Indiana, but was born in CR.

Indiana was the last unbeaten team in 1976

Indiana State (1979) from Indiana - lost in Championship game

UNLV (1991) and Kentucky (2015) both lost in Indiana.

Gonzaga playing in the Final Four in Indiana as an unbeaten.

Interesting that all of the unbeaten teams have an Indiana connection.

I'm gonna have Washout Vision after some of these camera angles and switches,

 

[HoopsTournament]

Does anyone think UCLA may have been hustling everyone else in the regular season?
