i drive to the hoop. i drive a racecar. i have a driver. his name is carl. but that's not what we all have in common. we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted.

i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto®. hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

>> flea philly teams play today. villanova plays unc ashville, tell will be take on, try to upset iowa, then st. joe's takes on cincinnati. the tournament started with 16 games yesterday. i know pat was watching them. one of the wildest finishes was providence, and usc. providence finds rodney bullock wide open under the basket. and he scores with just a second and a half left in the game. you believe that?

they beat the trojans 70 to 69. now, providence get number one seed north carolina tomorrow, can they make it happen twice? we'll see. now the anticipation was high for all of the games last night, but for seton hall's derrick gordon, the night was twice as important. when gordon played against con saga last night became the first openly gay player to take part in the ncaa tournament. he came out in 2014 and transferred to seton hall in his home state of new jersey for the season. his teammates say he's an inspiring player, but gordon just between play his game. >> i'm not out to prove anything. i mean, i know what i have to do. i know my skill level. so i mean it is just going out there, doing what i know how to do with my teammates. >> gordon said he has no regrets. gordon tweeted after the game, quote, i had an amazing college career, i truly want to thank seton hall and everyone who believed in me. it has been a pleasure. very thankful.
