can you not just stream all of the games from cbs like in years past?

[Edited on March 12, 2012 at 4:22 PM. Reason : you could do that last year right? i'm not confusing it w/ the olympics?]

3/12/2012 4:22:41 PM

^ You can definitely stream them online, but I'm not sure if there are any regional tv overlap restrictions. Streaming online + 3 tvs tuned to different channels allowed me and my friends to watch all 4 games at once from the comfort of our living room. Throw in a pony keg of Magic Hat #9 and it was the shit.

Your going to have to pay to stream this year. Here is a thread from slickdeals about the coke zero promotion.

SDSU beat some good teams, and doesn't look to have any glaring bad losses. Should be a solid game. The sdsu players interviewed re: nc state on that youtube video seem like they have their heads on straight, so can't hate on them too much. Oh well. Can't hate everyone as much as duke and unc i guess...

I believe it is $3.99 to stream all games this year, even though that is a pittance, free is always better.

3/12/2012 4:37:39 PM

yes indeed. danke schoen.

3/12/2012 4:39:31 PM

that coke zero text thing will enable you to watch it online for free (you can't this year.)

They just showed the video as an introduction to talk about the tournament. I didn't see anything more specific than that.

San Diego State honestly believes playing in their conference is equivalent to the ACC. It's like people are smoking ESPN.

3/12/2012 7:21:13 PM

Clearly we are overlooking them along with Georgetown, Kansas, and UNC

3/12/2012 7:21:38 PM

there's a six page thread about how vegas is "disrespecting" them by putting out a line of state -2.5.

i am constantly amazed that there are people who care enough about sports to post on the internet about them but do not understand how vegas works.

3/12/2012 7:23:00 PM

I'm in the middle of reading that one. OMG THE ODDSMAKERS ARE OVERLOOKING US. DISRESPECT.

i dunno, i mean they might like to say that, but i feel like the reason they got excited when State was announced was because we're an ACC team and they know in their hearts that we're (as a conference, not team necessarily) a step above them

"Gregg Doyel from CBS Sports said: "Most likely upset: N.C. State over San Diego State is so easy, it's a shame. The Aztecs manhandled their conference, but I'm not a huge believer in the X-and-O ability of Steve Fisher (or whoever's coaching that team, behind the scenes). So if you want an easy pick, pencil in North Carolina State as the winner of this game in the Round of 64. Put the stupidity of "the Aztecs dominated their conference, but Fisher obviously can't coach" aside... Anyone know what that other comment is referring to? Whoever is coaching that team behind the scenes?"

it probably refers to the fact that fisher looks like a frail old man that barely knows where he is, much less a man capable of coaching a basketball team, lol

Hi San Diego fans I think you are probably nice people but I hope my team beats yours. Well, seeya
