The NCAA tournament is in full bloom. Here are the winners and the losers thus far.

Loser: Bryce Drew

Vanderbilt coach calls last timeout with seven minutes left. Vanderbilt offense strategy was a dumpster fire. And that misguided intentional foul at the end is on the coach. In the hot college basketball coach hiring market, Drew’s stock plummets.

Winner: TruTV

The broadcast home to “Chris Webber’s Full Court Pranks” and “Impractical Jokers” draws an audience that can’t remember what channel it’s on and won’t tune in again until next March.

Loser: New Jersey

As the pride of the Garden State battled Notre Dame Thursday, the state’s governor Chris Christie was there, in person, rooting against Princeton from right behind the Notre Dame bench.

Winner: Bill Murray

First the Cubs. Now Xavier.

Loser: Indiana

Just as the best day in college basketball was getting going, school announces they canned coach Tom Crean. More bad timing for the Hoosiers.

Charles Barkley eats chips out of an orange hoodie he’s wearing backwards in a Capital One commercial. “You’ve gone mad,” says Spike Lee. “It’s a very fine line between madness and genius,” Barkley shoots back. Indeed it is.”

Loser: Bobby Knight

Nothing new here, but just a reminder that the once revered coach and NCAA tournament legend has become an embarrassment.
