I'm 40 years old and been watching college ball since the Fab 5, I know how the tourney was broadcasted before and I know how it's done now. The comment from Bomani was in reference to the opening round of 64 that covers Thursday/Friday, when back in the day you literally only got one game on CBS and then the broadcast would do live look-ins to other games, switch if one game was a blowout after about a half, and then cut to another game when the ending was approaching. My question to you is how do you prefer that option over having access to each game on it's own separate channel to watch the game you want to watch?
Because while viewership, access and consumer choice are great things to provide, the actual experience of the tournament itself in the format that it used to be is lost. I don't have time to find the words to elaborate on what I mean but watching the tourney on one channel and having greg gamble take you to a pivotal moment during another game is a feeling that can't be replicated in this current format. Hard to explain it right now.

It used to be Redzone like and it was better that way.

I saw Clayton has a late-2nd round/undrafted grade in some mocks and I don't get it because while I understand the age factor, he's big enough, pause and can score and is fearless.. why can't he end up being a rotation guy

He might can be a rotation piece but he’s a combo guard that will turn 23 his rookie year, can’t remember the last time one of those went 1st round, just not the archetype of a player that’s valued by teams in the draft
