It's gotta be Mike. No question about it.

Probably time to bring this thread back to the forefront. I'm finding myself starting to play the NCAA Tournament CBS intro music in my head over and over during the last hour or so. Remember, it's natural to want to see the team reach it's full potential and make critical remarks about areas where there are shortcomings, but... if you're not happy and enjoying being a UMass fan today, you're doing it wrong!

I posted this a few weeks back, but it's worth a repost.

The 1994 NCAA Tournament Selection Show, live from Amherst (Shutesbury), Massachusetts at the 9:20 mark!

Three things.

1) That'll get you jacked up.
2) James Brown looks like he hasn't aged a day in 20 years.
3) Derek Kellogg looks like he's aged quite a few days in 20 years.

Coach K can go screw himself:

Heading to ABC for the watch party

Here's a question while we're waiting...

Over/Under on the highest number of people on the board tonight? I'll say with the ABC watch party we fall just short of the record at 225.

Marty Peretz · Post by **Marty Peretz** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 3:38 pm

^I think the record isn't actually the record because it was a bunch of bots (per Mike). I think we got it to like 216 at one point this year and that might have been the real record, but if it is indeed 225, I bet we exceed it.

Blutrane93 · Post by **Blutrane93** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 3:42 pm

You're right, the record this year is 216. I think interest peaked around the Charleston Tournament. I was putting 225 as an over/under prediction. I have a weird thing about erasing the bot record with a real record. Something about feeling like our fanbase is more interested in UMass basketball than spammers in Russia.

I mean, how could any team from the A10 be expected to understand how good Clemson is?
