Here we go folks. Turner Mint time. Brackets are all submitted and gambling money is withdrawn. This is it.
I’m going to be shifting the focus of the Ham’s Hoops Roundup from the NBA to the Tournament for the weekend. FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH NBA. Now March Madness is my best friend.
Same type of format, just with a lot more focus on clips and highlights than usual. I’ll post the scores and ATS results. Updated brackets. Notable performances. Tons of highlights and Twitter Videos (RIP Vine, today of all days) of all the buzzer beaters, dunks, GRITTY HUSTLE PLAYS THAT NBA PLAYERS DON’T MAKE, awful stupid decisions that college kids make all the time, crying band kids, fans in disbelief, bench reactions, sweaty, screaming coaches, and whatever else happened amidst the madness. Any takes I wanna get out there. And the schedule for the next slate of games.
Expect Ham’s Hoops Roundups at these times:
6pm Thursday — recap of the Day 1 afternoon games
11:30pm Thursday — recap of the Day 1 night games
9am Friday — combined recap of everything from Day 1
6pm Friday — recap of the Day 2 afternoon games
11:30pm Friday — recap of the Day 2 night games
9am Saturday — recap of everything from Day 2
9am Sunday — recap of everything from Day 3
9am Monday — recap of everything from Day 4
*In reality that 11:30pm Friday recap isn’t happening. It’s St. Patricks Day and a Friday and I’m only human.
So that’s it. Here we go. It’s 11am Thursday morning. We’re an hour from opening tip. Here’s the schedule for Day 1 and Day 2 with tip times, channels, and of course the gambling lines. Good luck everyone. See you back here at 6pm tonight. And following along all day on Twitter @yourboyham11 as we tweet through the Madness.
THIS. IS. MARCH.
Almost forgot to include the official What’s The Action Bracket. This is Gonzaga’s year.
