NCAA action Thursday

[Alsacs]

I like Rhody a lot, that team can hit 3's. They also cost us a tourney bid so they could at least win a few games.

I think they will beat Creighton. Oregon I couldn't pull the trigger.

Would Gonzaga losing single-handedly blow up every bracket in the country?

Not that bad. I think more had 'Zona in the final four from that region than Gonzaga.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Would Gonzaga losing single-handedly blow up every bracket in the country?

I doubt it. I'm sure many people have ND/WVU beating them.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Not surprised so many close games early, these early tourney games have no juice, feels like I am watching the SWAC opening conf tourney on a Tuesday. Hard for these lower seeded teams to get going.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Stinks for all you suckers who picked UVA to lose.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Stinks for all you suckers who picked UVA to lose.

I thought UVA was as close to a lock as you can get. They wont make a deep run due to the lack of offense besides weird haircut dude but I didn't see any scenario where they lost today.

I picked them to lose...vs. the spread

 

[jncuse]

I had Gonzaga game at Under 156. Didn't understand that one. Their D has been very good. And if they crumble it will be their offence that usually fails them.

 

[jncuse]

They really loaded up the front of the schedule with "upset" type seeds. I wonder if it was coincidence or intended.

6 games have started today
- 3 had 13 seeds
- 2 had 12 seeds.

 

[CorduroyG]

maybe its just me but for the 1st round dont the friday games always seem to be better than the thursday games? tournament takes a day to get going then on friday it explodes with upsets and close games and buzzer beaters. thursday always seems to be kinda boring. been that way so far. even on paper these games are kinda blah.

 

[Briancuse]

I love the Buffalo wild wings commercial, maybe if I go there my waitress can take number 1 and 21 out of the game for Syracuse.

 

[Chip]

If Florida loses, will Vandy be kicked out of the tournament in the middle of their game?

Ouch. You're cruel. This is the best commercial hands down. SNACK HOODIE!!!

with about 18 mins left in the 2nd half...the horn goes off and a short, fat, bald man walks out on the court...

'im sorry, you are only here because...well, you beat florida 2x last week...and it appears as if we've made a mistake...'

(blows whistle...hand goes up...points to northwestern...)

'you win'

(looks back at vandy)

'we did you the favor of packing your bags, please proceed right to the bus...'

(runs off court...)

Charles Barkley is not short.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Can't believe Bucknell has been scoring so easily in this one. I did a big parlay and have hit on everything except this O/U. Ugh.:bang:

They should have put Vandy in Buffalo, so we could be on standby.

 

[supp]

Kermit Davis is pulling a Boeheim on Minnesota. Frustrating them with 2-3 zone.

They didn't cover though.

 

[JeremyCuse]

They didn't cover though.

I was going strictly for bracket picks, spread lines are a crapshoot in the tourney.

They were laying 7.5 which for Virginia is a big # given their offensive issues.

 

[two3zone]

Ouch. You're cruel. This is the best commercial hands down. SNACK HOODIE!!!

This is freaking genius.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Man MTSU is smacking Minnesota around up 15. Easiest upset ever to pick.

 

[Ragman2000]

MTSU is the Big Ten Slayer. That or the Big 10 is really just a glorified midmajor.

 

[Bill Orange]

Go Northwestern! Basically to shut Skip Bayless up.
