"Survive And Advance" Debuts, Is Actually Rather Entertaining
Monday, March 16, 2009
I caught a bit of the Packer-Knight show, "Survive and Advance", and I have to say that I was rather impressed. The two had on Isiah Thomas and Quinn Buckner, and the group discussed a lot of Tournament related topics, but none more interesting than the story of the 1981 Championship Game, and how it was almost postponned. Ronald Reagan was shot earlier in the day on March 30th, 1981, and both Knight and Thomas recalled the events of the day....
All My Children, huh Isiah? That explains a lot. Seriously though, the show was actually pretty entertaining, and the breakdown of the best players at each position in the Tournament, was extremely informative. Billy Packer even laughs during the show!
Check it out if you get a chance. It's on every Sunday, throughout the Tourney, at midnight.

Did Knight actually look into the camera? He seemed to struggle with that simple task on the selection show.

I missed the show last night. Did Isiah reset this speech with Coach Knight?
