Share OKC Thunder: Proud alum Scott Brooks talks...

NCAA Basketball: Long Beach State vs. UC Irvine

On late Saturday night in Anaheim - or early Sunday morning, if you were watching from the Central Timezone - UC Irvine took down Hawaii to win the Big West title.

It gave the Anteaters their first ever NCAA Tournament bid, which, when examining UC Irvine"s basketball history, is a bit surprising.

Back in 1986, Thunder coach and future NBA point guard Scott Brooks transferred to the school. Three other future NBA players were on the team that season.

"Wayne Englestad, played with the Nuggets," Brooks remembered. "Johnny Rogers, played with Cleveland and Sacramento. Tim Murphy played with Minnesota a bunch of years. And coach kicked off Tom Tolbert, who played about eight or nine years in the league. And he kicked off Ron Granderson, who played seven or eight years. So we would have had six (future NBA) players."

"Kentucky of the mid-majors," Brooks joked.

But that season, Irvine went 17-13 overall, 12-6 in league and were relegated to the NIT, where the Anteaters beat UCLA before losing to BYU in the second round.

"It wasn"t the coaching," Brooks said of the lack of a tourney bid. "It was the player"s fault."

These days, Brooks remains an avid follower of UC Irvine basketball. And though he never made it there himself, he was pumped up Sunday afternoon about the school"s first tourney berth.

"I"m not going to sit up here and boast, but I"m very proud of them," Brooks said.

Ashley Judd brings dog to Kentucky game, naturally some people angered

TedxNashville - Ashley Judd - My Life"s Work as an Act of Worship

Updated MAR 20, 2015 2:29p ET

University of Kentucky fan Ashley Judd brought her dog Shug with her to the Wildcats" NCAA tournament opener against No. 16 Hampton Thursday night, triggering some predictable yet perplexing backlash against her. (Warning: This post contains explicit language further down.)

Here"s Judd at the game with Shug, a cocker spaniel-poodle mix that Judd has registered as a psychological support dog, who"s being held by a woman sitting beside the actress:

Haters are always going to hate, and here they go ridiculing Judd:

This is pretty much par for the course when it comes to the actress. In fact Judd wrote an piece on Thursday about the online abuse she suffered over her comment about the SEC championship game on Sunday. Judd tweeted that Kentucky"s opponent Arkansas was "playing dirty & can kiss my team"s free throw making a--."

No, not the most savory comment, but the vitriol spewed at her in response was outrageous. She wrote:

I read in vivid language the various ways, humiliating and violent, in which my genitals, vaginal and a**l, should be violated, shamed, exploited and dominated. Either the writer was going to do these things to me, or they were what I deserved. My intellect was insulted: I was called stupid, an idiot. My age, appearance and body were attacked. Even my family was thrown into the mix: Someone wrote that my "grandmother is creepy."

On Monday, the day after the tornado of cyberbulling, she said:

Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for what they write and not allowing this misinterpretation and shaming culture on social media to persist. And by the way, I"m pressing charges.

Good for her. You want to demean and ridicule people from the comfort of your laptop and mighty throne? Then be prepared for the consequences, which may include getting fired from your job or suspended from school, as happened to Curt Schilling"s online harrassers.

As for Judd"s dog, why does anyone really care? The dog appears to be chilling out, not getting in anyone"s way. Some of the haters (in less vitriolic fashion than on Sunday) are actually ridiculing the concept of an emotional therapy dog in the first place.

It"s a real thing. The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the FHA), which pertains to housing, recognizes an emotional support animal as "a companion animal that provides therapeutic benefit to an individual with a mental or psychiatric disability."

It"s common for persons suffering from depression, veterans coping with post-traumatic stress disorder, elderly and others to have an emotional therapy dog.

The Buzzer reached out to the KFC Yum! Center about the arena"s policy regarding dogs. We have not yet received comment.

But why does anyone care about her dog in the first place? Does it impair anyone"s enjoyment of the game? Offend personal sensibilities?

No, people still view social media as a platform to bully. I"m not advocating censorship, but when free speech turns into hate speech or bullying as it did on Sunday, no longer should the offenders be allowed to remain anonymous and unaccountable.

Imagine the view for NCAA basketball visitors if Syracuse lit up downtown, CNY ...

#1 Kentucky vs #4 Louisville Ncaa Tournament Final Four 2012 (Full Game)

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - You could say a light bulb came on for Jay Bauer.

He had an idea to market Syracuse that seemed simple until he started knocking on doors at City Hall and other power places.

Jay Bauer, of Clay, wants to "Light Up Syracuse" during the NCAA basketball tournament games in March.Provided photo

Bauer wants Syracuse to leave the lights on as thousands of visitors leave the Carrier Dome after the NCAA East Regional basketball games March 27 and 29.

Imagine the view, he said, if every office tower, hospital, government building, restaurant and downtown business turned on its lights those Friday and Saturday nights.

Bauer turned his idea into a video presentation and shopped it around to staff at Syracuse University, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner and Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney.

"We can turn on the lights and it costs nothing. It takes five minutes for the mayor or the county executive to call a press conference and say this is what we"re going to do," he said.

He tried to get attention on Twitter from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, U.S. Rep. John Katko and David Muir, the ABC World News Tonight anchor and former Syracusan.

So far, the most promising response came from Mahoney Tuesday in a live chat on Syracuse.com.

Bauer asked: "Do you support "Light Up Syracuse?" Are you willing to call a press conference to proclaim it and promote it during the NCAA weekend March 27-29th?"

Mahoney mentioned her efforts to light up Columbus Circle as symphony and theater patrons leave events at the Civic Center.

"I imagine that a full-scale lighting could do even more and we will look into it," Mahoney wrote.

David Holder, president of the Syracuse Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the idea has a lot of merit. But his staff is already focused on many other moving parts for that weekend. They are training volunteers to greet people at the airport and hotels. There will be shuttle buses to take people from Armory Square and Destiny USA to the Carrier Dome. Other volunteers will man the bus stops to give directions and information.

The games are expected to attract tens of thousands of people who could spend up to $7 million.

Holder said building momentum for an idea is not as simple as holding a press conference.

"I think we"ve got to put that in our pocket as a community and hold onto that and use it for another event, or make an event around that, a celebration of Syracuse," Holder said.

Bauer has already scaled back his original idea. At first, he thought the city should launch fireworks when the games ended. When someone suggested the cost of extra fire personnel, he looked into lasers instead.

With only 7 days before tip off, Bauer would be happy if everyone simply flipped on their light switches.

Bauer lost both of his parents before the age of 10 and was raised by an aunt and uncle in Syracuse. He left for a teaching career in New Jersey and retired to Clay because of the low cost of living.

He said he never lost his passion for the city he says "saved my life."

People who know me know that I use the phrase "G*d. Family. Syracuse."

After he moved, Bauer would return to Syracuse for basketball games and other events. He has written letters to the editor to defend the city against other visitors who were less than impressed.

He said the most passionate people about Syracuse are often those who moved away and realize what they have left behind. Some of those people will be here to watch the games as well as the fans of the teams that make it to the NCAA semi-finals.

People who can afford spur-of-the-moment plane tickets and hotel rooms are the kinds of wealthy visitors he believes could come back and invest in Syracuse businesses.

He said the lights would also bring Syracusans out to participate. He said the residents of Pittsburgh look forward to a similar event around the holidays.

"I think "Light Up Syracuse" is as much about Syracuse seeing ourselves in a different light as it is for all the visitors who are going to come to Syracuse and see it lit up," he said. "Why not just turn on the lights?"
