Game 35: Villanova vs. American
options
 

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE JOINING THE CHAT

Because of NCAA-imposed restrictions on liveblogging at NCAA Tournament venues, I am only allowed to post five times each half. As such, once the game starts, I will only write one post during each media timeout and once at halftime.

I will allow you all to comment as much as you want, and I will do so under the assumption that you are watching on TV in addition to participating in the chat. If there are questions, hopefully you can answer them for each other.

During the Atlantic 10 tournament, we were not restricted to the same degree. But the NCAA has a history of kicking reporters out of venues and revoking their credentials for blogging too much at events it operates, and I am not willing to take any risks at this time.

I thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    Looks like Nova looked past the first game. And it is messing up my bracket.

    Coach of the year? Defend 3-pointers. Go inside where your advantage is. Not rocket science. Let's go Nova before it is all over but the crying.

About Jonathan Tannenwald
I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

I write primarily about the University of Pennsylvania and the Ivy League, but I also cover the other basketball and football teams across the city from time to time. In the spring, you'll find coverage of the Penn Relays here.

In addition to all of that, I write Philly.com's soccer blog, The Goalkeeper.
