Renowned sports reporter and host, Bonnie Bernstein -- along with coaches Perry Clark and former UCLA coach Jim Harrick provide in-depth tournament analysis only to Sprint customers. The Sprint Tournament Center originated from Chicago for the first two weeks of the tournament; during week three, the Sprint Tournament Center moves to Indianapolis. These studio-based video segments provide game predictions, in-game updates, post-game analyses and breakdowns of key games and players each day of tournament play. In addition, Sprint will offer news and analysis from other major college basketball events. Some of Harricks 1st Round Quotes Washington, D.C. Region JIM HARRICK on Marcus Williams of Connecticut: "Marcus Williams bailed them out tonight with 21 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Some think he's the best point guard in America." Minneapolis Region JIM HARRICK on Arizona coming out strong in the first half versus Wisconsin: "Well, they missed their leader last week. So they sat home and stewed before they came out of the gate firing. Their defense was great. Their hands on the ball, deflections, steals, fast breaks, dunks, 3-3 point baskets. Up 24. That's the way you really envision your team playing." JIM HARRICK on Arizona's win over Wisconsin: "They controlled it whole game by pushing the ball up the floor. Great defense, deflections, fast break baskets, dunks and three pointers. And, they kept the offensive pressure on Wisconsin, always making them gets back on defense, pushing it, pushing it, pushing it Arizona style. And they played a terrific game." JIM HARRICK on Arizona's Hassan Adams: "He was really a catalyst in the second half, really helping them win the basketball game." Atlanta Region JIM HARRICK on Northwestern State's first half versus Iowa: "They came out and they were a little sketchy. But their defense really got down. Hustling, rotating trapping. And they got out and got a couple fast break baskets, a couple medium range baskets and a 3-point shot. Got right back in the game. I've been impressed with Northwestern State." JIM HARRICK: "Always worried about teams having heavy legs coming into the tournament in a game. I call it the four E's; effort, emotion, enthusiasm, energy. You need it all in the NCAA tournament. But I don't see that out of Iowa in the first half." JIM HARRICK on Jermain Wallace of Northwestern State: "He's got to be the player of the day. He had a great half. They're down 15. He hits a 3 with 7:23 to go. And it just lifted Northwestern State off the ground." JIM HARRICK on the Northwestern State seniors: "They believed that they could win the game. And those seniors band together and you saw them celebrating at the end. It was a historic win for Northwestern State." JIM HARRICK on LaMarcus Aldridge: "He was big time tonight, Bonnie. LaMarcus Aldridge comes up with 19 points and 11 rebound, helped by PJ Tucker, 17 points, 11 rebounds. Too much inside play for Penn to overcome. The Ivy league, they just don't have anybody inside who can handle those two guys." JIM HARRICK on West Virginia's Kevin Pittsnogle: "Pittsnogle took a vow last summer to improve his game and move inside, as well as out." Oakland JIM HARRICK on Bradley coach Jim Les: "Jim Les, who's a great 3-point shooter in his day, he's transferred that to his players."
