NCAA Tournament Day1

[SJeagle09]

That game is exactly why this time of year is so fun. What an ending.

Unfortunately, unless I have picked the game correctly, it isn't fun for me.

Golden Eagles win!

How many times have I posted the Big East and ACC start their tournaments 2 days too late and should finish on Friday but...................$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

How many time have I said, if you have a seed, win 1 and tank it....

save the legs

Louisville's legs are shot. Great..they got a 4 seed and are strugging to advance.

Kismet.

A 3 ball from a school that could not beat Ul 99-100 and did.

No legs and that looked like the Morehead guy stpeped in and hacked his forearm.

Pitino got what he deserved for his preparation.

Big East tourney killed them

[cvilleagle]

Pitino got what he deserved for his preparation.

They missed that FT and gave Morehead 23 seconds to make a play - that's longer than it takes Pitino to climax.

[cvilleagle]

Wow the Penn St.-Temple game is going to end crazily, too.

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

First few games of this tourney have been very close (except for clemson v wvu). Looks like it could be a good year for the mid-majors.

I still find the green beer effing off-putting. Half the people at the bar were getting their St. Patty's day started, and half were intently watching the basketball games. I got my annual corned beef and cabbage. It reminds me of my childhood; I hated boiled dinner when I was a kid and still kind of dislike it. This is why I won't eat it again for at least a year.

My bracket already has received a nuclear enema.

[cvilleagle]

Wow, don't look now but Princeton is taking a good run at Kentucky. Still plenty of time left but this may be a banner year for the Ivy league.

Way too early to know, but I hope it's as good as last year.

To answer an earlier question, TRU is 204 on DISH. I'm not surprised few know that. TRU is worthless television most of the time, as you'll no doubt discern for yourselves when you see their promos at timeouts.

ESPN.com linking directly to MMOD is also handy, for those of us stuck at the office.

Kentucky's players are too dumb to defend this offense.

yup... I am sitting in the next stall...and your radiation destroyed my 20 brackets...

Morehead State, I figured close game.... but Old Dominion, I have never been that pissed over a non-BC game --they missed 10+ layups and gave up 16 second chance bounds..

Please throw over another roll... I lost $4M in prizes....

So many great expressions and why no Billy Shakepearian Lieftime Achievement Award....

Hell...I'll never know????

Honestly I was sucked into some epic TV show called EXTREME PAWN after the clemson game the other night. Pure gold.

How does Princeton get off a shot with the long arms and long length of 3 of these Kentucky defenders???

Tons of talent, and if they stay 3 years....

I mean 5 guys drafted last year....how many in the top rounds?

[2001Eagle]

Kentucky's players are too dumb to defend this offense.

Was in tampa for work the last three days and the kentucky team was clowning around the hotel lobby quite a bit and signing autographs. not sure what a team should look like as they prep for the tourney, but they didn't seem too serious.

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

57-55 kent 1 minute to go,

[shockdoct]

Was this line supposed to be in red font?

[h2o]

It would be awsome for Pitino and Calipari to lose in the first round. Come on Princeton!!

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

what a shot! 57-57

[BCEagle74]

57-57-- Kentucky should take last shot..

1.5 or so diff in shot clock..

So much talent and size down low and Calipari is like Roy Williams...and now Pitino...

I like Stevie D. more and more each day.

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

WOW. 59-57 kent 1.5 left. how do you let him drive the lane like that?

[BCEagle74]

Maybe a buzzer bomb for 3 from Princeton.

2 seconds?

[h2o]

Fuck.

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

game.... that may have woke Kentucky up for a run in the tourney.

[BCEagle74]

Vanderbilt in any sport is a rich fag school. 18.9 left and they do not take a quick 3---and then throw the ball away, this new Coach is worst than the last one.

It's a fxcking Lazy Elvis wasteland out there.

Vandy missed like 7-9 free throws... and then flubbs again.

There are reasons why schools with high academics and high $$$$$ kids suck.

Now they have to knock in a long 3 on a team they had an 11 point lead and were way better.


Morehead State--I can understand.

[BC923]

suprisingly 3/5 brackets are looking good right now. all within one game of perfect



as a rule i make different brackets for every pool i enter so that i can root with my heart and not worry about how much it kills my bracket.

[bluefishskip]

Vanderbilt's coach has been there for 11 years BTW...........and traditionally, they choke hard in the NCAAs

2011: 5 seed, lose 1st round to #12 Richmond
2010: 4 seed, lose 1st round to #13 Murray State
2008: 4 seed, lose 1st round to #13 Siena

their previous 2 trips under Stallings in the NCAA's were good.....2007: Sweet 16 as 6 seed, lost to G'Town by 1 and 2004: Sweet 16, lost to UCONN

fun fact, i picked all of those. It's like cheating to pick against vandy... too easy.

[ryrob]

That's why I hate statistics. I can turn on the TV and watch SDSU and compare them to a team like Wisconsin or Louisville right behind them and see the difference. It is obvious.

Beating shitty teams?

[BCEagles25]

After a day of March Madness, I'm not pumped about Morehead State and I'm not thrilled about all the close games...

I'm really still wondering why the fuck USC made it.

It's a cabal thing.
