The rule applies regardless if the clock is running or not. The official counts the seconds just like he/she would an in-bounds play or a held ball. They do not use the clock. The count starts after the ball is in-bounded.

The tournament seeding formula has been broken for a while. A high weighting is given to teams from certain conferences (ACC, SEC, Big 10). Teams from the bigger conferences rarely if ever schedule games against lesser known non-conference opponents so these smaller conference teams are always under seeded. There is also a huge amount of skew towards the one and done factories simply because they always have the most talent.
Some examples from this year: Purdue finishes the season with a near 0.500 record down the stretch but gets a 1 seed. Gonzaga gets a 3 seed even though they got hammered by every other tournament team but St.Mary's. Florida Atlantic enters the tournament on a 10 game winning streak with a 35-3 record and is seeded 9.

... On that note Harlan, Dan Bonner, and Stan Van Gundy are the announcers for Thursday's SW16 games between Arkansas / UConn and UCLA / Gonzaga which should be the 2 best of the round. Not to be missed!

Requesting our local coding experts come up with an AI engine that allows us to resurrect the Pat Summerall / John Madden team for all future Superbowls. A sprinkling of Kevin Harlan and Jim Nantz would be nice as well.

Women's tournament doesn't usually bring the upsets in the earlier rounds that the Men's does but usually are much more competitive come the 16's and beyond.

Bears would be better off trading all of their picks and somehow figure out how to get a different organization draft for them.

I think the current Chiefs after two Super Bowl wins are slightly ahead of where the Patriots were in 2003
Those Patriot squads were probably a level above the Chiefs talent wise across the board and were not as reliant on Brady and a few other stars as KC currently is. The Patriots owned their division and were a contender for over a decade with different rosters. So far KC has been as dominant but they have a few more years to cement their legacy.
Mahomes is the best I've seen. He is a true gamer like Montana or Brady and always better in the bigger games but he is on an entire different level athletically. He does have a long way to go to win over an extended period as Brady did and he already has lost in a Superbowl which Montana never did.

Eagles collectively were not as tuned in as the Chiefs were in all aspects especially in the 2nd half and crunch time.
They do have a solid team and I expect both coaches and players will learn from the loss and be better next year.
