All aboard for the 16: Sweet!

Gordon Mann is in the air to Dallas, I’m in the airport waiting for a flight to St. Louis, others are on the road and yet others already there.

Teams are in place and fans are either there or en route. Headed for a great night of basketball all around.

Our colleague Dean Corwin is ready to weigh in with links to tonight’s pregame coverage, so I won’t go too deeply into that. Wishing everyone safe travels. This is the gathering point for tonight’s in-game posts as well — feel free to tell us what you’re seeing or hearing as we cut the field in half one more time.

Bob Quillman and I have the last game of the night, tipping at or around 9 p.m. ET between Buena Vista and Washington U. So we’ll see you then.
