Michigan vs Florida, 5:15pm ET. CBS
Title says it all. I didn't see times posted until this morning.
Hopefully Iggy goes all 2013 Nik Stauskas on they bitch* ass
*Thanks Chalky
For full effect, you have to throw in the word "bitch" between they and ass.
Keep on flexin
Let's beat some gator ass tomorrow!
Is this UM-UF thing a plot? Are we required to play Florida as often as possible in any venue possible?
Seriously, mix it up NCAA!
Hopefully this time it's our guys getting revenge for the football team.
Having spent the last few years living in Gainesville, I'm not complaining
We're required to play Florida only slightly more often than we are required to play Montana.

It's a protected rivalry unlike Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Thanks Delaney.

It's kinda funny, because two of my nieces went to Florida; never thought we would end up with a family rivalry. Fortunately, no one in my family went to Staee.
Seeing early spreads around -7
Let's go boys!
So glad it is on CBS... Why is our 1st round always on TNT? Wtf has cable anymore? Please beat the sh*t out of the Gators so we can all have a great weekend knowing we avenged the football team...
But you can stream every game on the CBS website or app, so TNT vs TBS vs TruTV vs CBS should be irrelevant to cord cutters.
EDIT: I just realized that my CBS "free" stream is linked to my DirecTV account info, so my initial response might not age well. My response, though, was directed at the "wtf has cable these days"? DirecTV guarantees the ability to watch every NCAA tourney game, so I pay for it. Maybe pure cord cutting doesn't, or you'll have to find ways to pay for it like subscribing to PS Vue, CBS all access, or a Buffalo Wild Wings membership.
No, you need the CBS all access (or whatever their subscription service is) to stream live CBS broadcasts, even with a cable plan and unlike the other networks. CBS is the also only channel whose games will not play on the March Madness app
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:55 AM ^
I don't think that's true. I've been watching games this year on the CBS sports app without CBS all access.
I watched pieces of pretty much every game yesterday using my parent's directv login, I can't imagine I accidentally skipped every CBS game.
Who has cable anymore?
Believe it or not, the world is quite a bit larger than just your little circle.
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:23 AM ^
I have cable and I love it. I even let Comcast f*ck me in the ass and continually raise my rates because I'm so grateful.
March 22nd, 2019 at 11:16 AM ^
I understand Comcast has a channel specifically dedicated to those kind of shows...
Goddamn Comcast. Have a love/hate relationship with them. The internet service and cable have always been good and reliable, but the pricing is insane.
March 22nd, 2019 at 11:05 AM ^
Cord cutters don't have TNT... well that sucks.
I'm 34 and still use my parents' login for my home sports viewing...
March 22nd, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
YoutubeTV has TNT, Tru and TBS
That's where I'm going after the Dance is over and we enter the sports doldrums. The quality on You Tube has been excellent the few times I've rented movies there. I'll give it a try over the summer and see if it's good enough for football season. If not, I'll get Comcast again for football and basketball seasons.
Was convinced we were going to get another really late tip-off. I figured that if both teams played late in the round of 64, they’d play late in the round of 32 just to try and give each team a roughly equal amount of time to rest.
This is nice.
Right - seems odd to be playing prior to the MSU-Minnesota game being those two teams played before FL and MI yesterday. And you would think CBS would want FL and MI in the more prime time slot.
Whatever - beat dem 'gators up. Go Blue
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
will we be using the same locker room as sparty? asking for a friend's team....
Today is my birthday, last year on my birthday we beat Texas a&m by 27 and it really wasn't that close.
I would love to have an awesome birthday weekend with an M beat down of Florida and Sparty and Buckeye losses!
March 22nd, 2019 at 11:31 AM ^
My birthday is Saturday so hopefully Michigan gives me an extra reason to celebrate. Win or lose I'll be extremely drunk this weekend.
too bad Nike doesn’t make pink gator skin basketball shoes.
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:13 AM ^
I've been meaning to ask this, but I keep forgetting: What's the deal with the pink sneakers? Is there a story behind why a bunch of the players wear them? Just curious.
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:24 AM ^
It's all MAAR's fault.
According to Abdur-Rahkman, the shoes were originally worn in Michigan’s Jan. 26 game against Indiana to promote breast cancer awareness. He hadn’t worn them in a game since, because team rules require the players to all wear the same style. But when the Wolverines’ plane skidded off the runway Wednesday and the equipment on it was subject to investigation, the pink kicks came back into play.
“Those were the only shoes I had in my locker after what happened to us,” Abdur-Rahkman said Friday. “And I was like, might as well (wear them).”
I believe since then it has been a free for all with the pink shoes. Wear whatever you want as long as you win.
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:38 AM ^
I have to imagine that the pink shoes that we are wearing this year are not the same shoes as last year. I am pretty sure that basketball players go through a couple of pairs of sneakers over the course of a season, right?
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:57 AM ^
No they are not the same shoes. I think it is more that since all that happened, maybe Beilein is cool with the pink?
FWIW MAAR wore the Jordan 31 when it first started and the Jordan 32 last year. Most everyone on the team this year is wearing the CP3 XI in pink.
March 22nd, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
I know that Jordan is part of Nike, but I am surprised that under the Jordan deal, the players aren't required to wear only Jordan, and are allowed to wear the CP3s.
March 22nd, 2019 at 12:06 PM ^
Chris Pauls signature shoe is a Jordan Brand shoe which is why they are allowed to wear it. 
March 22nd, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
CP3's are Jordans. They're in the middle of the pic I posted.
March 22nd, 2019 at 12:09 PM ^
Or tried to post.
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:39 AM ^
And thanks for the info, cbutter.
I'm pretty sure MAAR started wearing them every game after he had a monster game last year while wearing them. If you remember we had a running joke about him adding a new, odd, permanent accessory to his game day outfit from then on because he also went off a game or two later while wearing goggles after being hit in the eye.
Let this rivalry continue on the hardwood! Get ready to fry some gator!
Go Blue!!
Matthews, Iggy, Simpson, Poole all need to go to the rim.
Relying on shooting will get the team beat early.
Florida didn't seem to have many guys who scored.
Where is a good place to find a replay of the full game from yesterday (preferably free)?
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:00 AM ^
I think you can watch the full game replays on the CBS March Madness app.
Edit: Just checked and I guess not. Lame. I'd imagine a stream will be posted at some point...
For some stupid reason they removed this capability from the app 3 or 4 years ago. Pisses me off every year and makes me give them a bad rating, that and the fact it crashes all the time, is terrible at casting to my appletv, and makes you watch a 15s ad every time you start/change a game....which you have to do all the time if you're trying to cast to appletv because as I said it crashes constantly. Infuriating shitty app that is 10x worse than the one from 3 or 4 years ago..
March 22nd, 2019 at 10:25 AM ^
You can come to my house.
March 22nd, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
Address and I will bring the drinks.
Llooks like hailtv stopped posting games 3 weeks ago, perhaps you can watch the replay on btn2go.
