((HT: ESPN))
It appears that Mark Emmert, the head of the NCAA, decided to go go Bristol this morning to do some kind of media tour dressed in Casual Friday fashion...
And, as the gentleman that has to defend the presidential stances of the NCAA, he has to tow the party line- no matter how silly the presidential party line is...
Like this run on the new meal standing even invoking Shabazz Napier by name
The #askemmert hashtag the "Mike and Mike" show used made for some interesting fodder...
Search the Twitter machine on your own for amusement- it would take us too long to post the great questions...
But Awful Announcing has a great recap
As does Deadspin...
And when stuff like this gets re-tweeted, you know it was another bad idea:
From Jay Bilas: NCAA President says athletes are "taking seats from a paying student." Wow.
ESPN actually put this out on their own: "If I can hire someone to play football for me why would I hire an 18 year old? Why not someone who plays in the CFL?" Emmert on unions
Here's the interview in full with Golic and Sedano
Someone DID tell Emmert he didn't have to do this, right...???

Daily Show Chases NCAA

As well they should...
Why would they ever do such a thing...???

Shabazz Napier Tells NCAA To Suck It
((HT: Lost Lettermen/JWeber238 via Instagram))
This is a reporter's worst nightmare... an athlete during a celebration who wants to tell you something...
Just ask Shabazz Napier
What he's referring to is the ban given to UConn by the NCAA for their low APR grades...
And the irony given that Mark Emmert was the one handing out the trophy is not lost on folks...

Brackets Continue Implosion With UConn and Dayton
((HT: WSYR-TV Syracuse))
Tyler Ennis' jumper with time running out didn't go in for a change and Dayton's run in the March tournament continued with a 55-53 win over 3rd-seed Syracuse in Round 3...
It was the first game since the Big East Tournament in 1995 that Syracuse failed to make a three-pointer as the Flyers packed it in the paint defensively and dared the Orange to make a shot from outside.
Three of Syracuse's last four losses were by five points or less.
By the way, if the math escaped you temporarily, Syracuse lost six of their last nine. All that after being ranked number one in the country at one point in the season and winning their first 25 in a row before losing to Georgia Tech in ACC play to start the down slide that ended in their second game of the tournament...
Here's the look from Syracuse...
"That thing was on line and he went for the win," Dayton head coach Archie Miller said postgame. "The thing that went through my head was the game at Pitt, when I saw that highlight 7,000 times when he banged the 3. I thought he was going to go to the basket. When I saw him raise up, I didn't feel good about it. But Buffalo's been good to us these last couple of days on the buzzer shots."
The 11-seed now moves on to play the winner of Kansas-Memphis...
The other big win Saturday came from UConn over former Big East counterpart Villanova... a 7-seed knocking off a 2...
Nova had a lead early in the game, but hit a stretch of 11:24 without hitting a shot from the field before sinking a three near the end of the first half to go in trailing 25-24. But, for the second game in a row, UConn's Shabazz Napier carried the Huskies- even with a bruised shin that kept him on the sidelines for a while late in the game.
Napier had 21 in the second half and 25 in the game...
The Huskies play the winner of North Carolina and Iowa State in New York City...
Here's a part of their second half of success...

Shabazz Napier finishes crazy 10 seconds of UConn/Villanova game
If there was ever a 10-second span that encapsulated a game...this might be it.
UConn and Villanova went to overtime Monday night in Philadelphia and with 10-seconds left, it was 70-68 Huskies.
In the ensuing 10-seconds, Villanova gets a driving layup to tie it with 5-seconds left.
And from there, UConn's Shabazz Napier took over. From 30-plus feet, with about 1-second left.
Nothing but net.
UConn wins 73-70.
