ASU/UALR - a game that shocked us all by being AMAZING. Huge, intense crowd. Back and forth. Overtime. Probably the best tournament experience (game and atmosphere) I’ve ever seen.

The UALR dancers had mildly disturbing uniforms. Not revealing… But made of some sort of leather/vinyl/latex looking material, with flesh colored shoes. They look like barefoot dominatrixes.

I don’t like ambiguity or mixed messages in dance team/cheerleaders. Luckily, there was at least one school that threw themselves totally into the Whore Costume Aesthetic. But more on that later.

Robert Lee… Is he gone from Lafayette now? Will they give him another year?

Tyren Johnson driving to the basket. Out of the tournament, but still a badass. I doubt his basketball career is over, though.

More Tyren Johnson. It’s claimed that he took a savage punch to the kidney right before halftime. Whatever happened, it obviously hurt like hell, but he still came back and did more than his share for the Cajuns.

The ULL/ULM game ended the way all sports should: With a marathon video review session by all referees that sucked the life out of a dramatic final shot.

Thank goodness this wasn’t at Lafayette, or the Cajuns might not even have gotten 0.7 seconds to try and hit a desperation shot.

This is what America is all about: Dance team uniforms that are made up of cleavage-enhancing bikini tops and pants that are so low-rise that they probably require daily waxing to be worn without embarrassment.

Good job, FIU.

As North Texas fans, we couldn’t help giggling every time the Daktronics ad board along the sideline scrolled to the green “Go RVing” screen.

Thanks for all you do, in-venue advertising!

Hot Springs loves their Hot Hoops. It’s nice to be somewhere that really seems to embrace having this tournament.

Bubbalu’s: Home of the French Fry-tini, apparently.

Good hot dogs, and hamburgers that the ladies love.
