Regarding the oft-made observation that a conference team's win in the tourney validates the conference. You disagreed. I'm with you on that. So is Clark Kellogg, who made the point repeatedly in the studio.
As to your happiness with CBS, two caveats. First, with no sister-nets to spin to, we are stuck with what the local affiliate gives us and what the network decides it cuts into. I miss the days when ESPN would telecast every single game. Admittedly, some were on tape delay in the middle of the night, but if you really wanted to see a game, or every game, you could. Second, once a game was in the can, CBS darn near forgot it ever existed. There was lots of "upcoming games" listed in the crawl at the bottom, and all the current games were updated at the top, but it was hard to get results of already-played games if you came in late.
Otherwise, your point about the coverage of the game at hand is right on.
