Gotta give props to the Big Ten. I thought Mich St. had a chance but I didnt think Wisconsin would pull it off too. I never hated on them to begin with but definitely DIDN'T expect them to outnumber the ACC in the Elite Eight. And as for the Redick thing. Stoudamire had a better percentage during the season from beyond the line anyway didn't he? So IMHO I don't even think Redick is the best pure 3-point shooter in the country. And he (Stoudamire) can create his own shot, as seen against Oklahoma St. I think Redick's overrated, too. Of course, my anti-Duke bias may blur my judgment on that lol.

They robbed Villanova like they were stealing candy from a baby. Dick Enberg should be fired after his commentary.

Watching replay in slow motion: "There's 1 step, 2 steps, (Ray was in the air shooting the ball) 3 steps. Yup, I do agree with the refs, he took 3 steps."

Shame how Villanova was robbed in this one. They were my pick to beat UNC before the tournament started as I posted earlier in this thread.

P.S. Big 10 still sucks, BroChaos :p

I tell ya what, even if WVU loses this game they have a trememndous amount of heart. That shot to the head Collins took diving for the loose ball just now was insane. And Pittsnogle could be the next Dirk Nowitzki :laugh: .

edit/

Looks like Louisville's the first team in. WVU played a hell of a game. Sorry to see their run end but Louisville deserved it after that comeback. Great game

You wouldn't have given it to Stoudamire? Regardless of his bad shooting game, he is the star of the team who beat OK. St. on a last second pull away jumper. Bad play calling at the end by Olsen.

Looks like the Big 10 will go 0-2 tomorrow ;)

watch the replay. Head was all over Stoudamire. That's why they didn't get the ball to him, and thus, the crappy play at the end. Olson.....great coach....not too original.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
