Is it me or did Turner and CBS really overdo the Oregon cheerleaders shot? I mean even by my standards I thought it was excessive and overly gratuitous. Not that I’m complaining. I’m all for it. It’s just that I forgot the Oregon Ducks were playing basketball today, I just thought the Oregon Ducks cheerleaders were having a national dance competition.
Therefore, we’re going to follow the lead of CBS and Turner and throw in a lot of completely unnecessary Oregon cheerleader pics with this listing.
Following are the tip times for Friday’s first round games and Saturday’s second round games, as well as the announce and production team assignments. Tip times for the third round games on Sunday will be announced on Friday after the conclusion of the day’s games.
We’ll see what happens Saturday when the Oregon Ducks take on the Wisconsin Badgers. Rematch of the first Rose Bowl I covered! Yey!!
