Since a bunch of us keep filling other threads talking about basketball, figured we should try to organize it a bit.
So far we've got a huge upset by St. Marys over Villanova. Seems nobody so far was to torn up by Nova losing. Games this afternoon to watch are as follows.
Murray (Present) St. vs Butler
3:49 Tennessee's Criminals (Sorry I'm a Florida Fan, but its not like I have much room to talk.) vs. Ohio
5:40 Somebody (Northern Iowa, like it really matters) vs. Kansas
5:40 Washington vs. New Mexico
5:45 Old Dominion vs. Baylor
8:10 BYU (I don't even want to think about this team) vs Kansas State
8:20 Wakeforest vs. Kentucky

I could kinda care less about this game, but i’m definately watchin Washington/NM and BYU/KState later tonight

Yea these games seem a bit lame. I’ll probably pay more attention to them in the second half if they are close.

I got them in the EE.

And laughing hard at calling them criminals...
from the fan of a school where guys try to crush other’s heads with kegs, pull out shotguns in parking lot driving disputes, and use the credit card of a teammate’s dead girlfriend, among other acts.
I said i don’t have to room to talk.

They weren't
But they have all the ingredients I looks for come March and I think they can put it together for a few games.

I’m enjoying that they are showing a commercial with Murray during the Murray State game.

See these games were suppose to be boring, yet Murray State is beating Butler. March Madness never disappoints.

This year = 1,000,000,000,000 times better than last years. If I wouldn’t have won the bracket with my coworkers and buddies, I woulda been pissed

Good Lord. Murray State has 17 turnovers and is only a few points back. Wow

If Kansas loses
I’m gonna find a nice trash can and toss my bracket in it.

You’re gonna have to find a large one. To fit everyone else’s bracket. I bet there is .000001% of the country that had Kansas losing this.

Kansas – Villanova final. Count on it. My bracket did. Oh wai—
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I had Kansas Duke in my final. At this point, I hope Duke makes it and then some nobody makes and wins the championship. Maybe I’ll get lucky with the rest of my Sweet 16 and Elite 8.

The funny part is that I didn’t even consider the team that played Kansas would win until the elite 8.
I hope we have another George Mason. UNI is as good as any.

At this point, my bracket is so shot I don't care.
I’d just like to see upsets everywhere now… except for Duke into the final!
Bye bye Chickenhawks
This KSU fan is happy. Now to end the season of the Mormons.
tUMD Hockey: In search of a title! But probably not this year.
BYU is gonna beat you guys. Sorry, but they’re going to the Elite 8.

I had Kansas-Duke too… but I had Villanova Elite Eight and Kansas Final Four. Can you say destroyed bracket?
I have that too.
Im a Dukie though and as biased as they come. I’m not sure they can get by WVU.

I think Lawrence, Kansas may have more people drinking tonight then they did on Saint Patrick’s Day.

Had Nova and Kansas in the final four
With Kansas as my champion.
Next year, I’m inventing some sort of system using dice.
So, who is everyone feeling for Final Four now?
I like Syracuse, Duke, K-State, and Maryland.
Wait.
I mean Duke, K-State, Maryland, and Kentucky. Hahaha
Go Cornell!

My ideal final 4:
Northern Iowa, Butler, St. Mary’s and Mizzou (but I’d be just as happy with Cornell)
"(Jason Heyward) is like the Grim Reaper -- you know he's going to get you, you just don't know where or when."
Mine
Mich. St, Syracuse, St. Mary’s, and West Virginia.
Wooooooow. What a great ending for Mich. St and Maryland
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
I said on TC yesterday ab out 5 different times that KU was unbeatable
just give me a pass on that one. I had everything right today.
"Spring Training is the most exciting time that can't end soon enough" - Me
Purdue just won. I’m 29 for 48. I officially give up
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
I have 2 or less teams in each region for the sweet sixteen.

wow. very nice
"Batting second and playing shortstop-he's Cuban. Yeah, his name's Pablo...no, eh, Yunel Escobar, sorry"
My 9 are MSU, Tenn, OSU, Cuse, X, KSU, WVU, Duke, Baylor. I put way too much faith in UTEP and I took a shot with TEX beating UK. I had Nova, NM, and Wisconsin losing in the second rnd but to the wrong team.
"Spring Training is the most exciting time that can't end soon enough" - Me
mine
Ohio State, Syracuse, Xavier, Kentucky, Cornell, WVU, Duke, Baylor.
"(Jason Heyward) is like the Grim Reaper -- you know he's going to get you, you just don't know where or when."
I have 9/16, but only 4/8 potential EE teams and only 1 FF and no championship game participants left. So….yeah.
I also almost completely whiffed on my upset picks, with Minnesota and Utah St. eating the dust. Looking back on the bracket, I have a woeful amount of upsets picked, and picked the higher seed way too often (although I do have some upsets later on, including Butler over Syracuse).
For the record, I have Mich. St, OSU, Syracuse, Butler, K St., Kentucky, W. Va, Duke and Baylor correct to the Sweet 16.
by soup du jour on Mar 22, 2010 8:30 AM EDT up reply actions
You and I sound similar...
I got one FF team (my champ) left, completely whiffed on the Sweet 16 in the south, and have a mere 7 of 16, and I think only 3 or 4 EE. My upset picks all went nowhere, and am starting to think I should just permanently pick chalk in any future brackets.

Did anyone here have UNI over KU?
"Spring Training is the most exciting time that can't end soon enough" - Me
i saw on ESPN
out of 4.6 million brackets cast, only 32,500 had UNI beating Kansas. And my guess is that 30,000 of those were cast by UNI fans picking their team just for the hell of it.
"(Jason Heyward) is like the Grim Reaper -- you know he's going to get you, you just don't know where or when."
I’ll be shocked if someone has a perfect one this year.
"Spring Training is the most exciting time that can't end soon enough" - Me
I don’t think there’s ever been a perfect one, has there? I know the tops will be about 54-57, but I don’t think I’ve even seen a 60+ bracket.
by soup du jour on Mar 22, 2010 8:17 AM EDT up reply actions
Yeah there has.. I’m almost positive ESPN.com has had one or two.
"Spring Training is the most exciting time that can't end soon enough" - Me
there was a perfect one a few years ago
and all the perfect brackets were done by Friday night this year. If someone had a perfect bracket right now, i’d kiss them.
"(Jason Heyward) is like the Grim Reaper -- you know he's going to get you, you just don't know where or when."
Or maybe 10,000 were ...

by Mr. Sanchez on Mar 22, 2010 10:40 AM EDT up reply actions
hell yeah
I hate the Jaycocks. It’s their football program I hate so much tho. I respect Bill Self and think he’s a great coach, but their football team is filled with a bunch of douchebags.
