i like how people keep saying that notre dame was their only miss, but then go on to point out they picked murray state

3/18/2010 5:46:43 PM

whats your point?

3/18/2010 5:47:29 PM

no duh. if you only missed 1 and it was ND, we know you didn't miss murray state.

la-di-fucking-da

I said I hope they make it to the sweet 16 like I picked, which was new information and not a repeat of the ND is the only game I missed so far statement

People like to pick Murray State, they just have a fun sounding name.

They need to pay Bill Murray to do ads for them.

Old Dominion just sounds stodgy and worn out, makes people who haven't paid any attention to BBall less likely to pick them. Hell, most older people in the south sooner associate the name with Root Beer.

St Mary's winning culture helps them pull it out

3/18/2010 5:52:35 PM

That and now they have finally beaten someone besides NCSTATE in a NCAA tourney game. I mean I am glad we are not the only ones that have lost to them now.

3/18/2010 5:53:33 PM

even steviewonder could see those 7 wins coming

3/18/2010 5:54:04 PM

man it amazes me the ncaa 1st round in particular ALWAYS lives up to all the hype the media and fans put on it to put out exciting play to the buzzer games, its like there are at least 10 buzzer beaters every yr

3/18/2010 6:22:36 PM

well there's only been one so far through 7 games

[Edited on March 18, 2010 at 6:26 PM. Reason : 7]

^^ spoken like a true 13 year old girl

3/18/2010 6:30:35 PM

I agree, the first round never disappoints (it also had the lowest expectations). It's the rest of the tourney that's filled with crap games punctuated by a few good storylines.

3/18/2010 6:33:46 PM

^^^^^

ahahahah gg dweedle

3/18/2010 6:41:25 PM

damn Butler has outscored UTEP 22-4 so far in the 2nd half

3/18/2010 6:41:37 PM

UTEP needs to quit fucking up so much

3/18/2010 6:42:09 PM

starting to regret UTEP to the Sweet 16

3/18/2010 6:42:19 PM

I had Vanderbuilt in the sweet 16, looks like I'm screwed either way.

3/18/2010 6:50:03 PM

perhaps i should not have changed my butler pick yesterday

3/18/2010 6:54:21 PM

Alright, that's probably game.

I'ma go take a superquick shower and order some pizza.

And then it's time for East Tennessee State to pull off an upset!


THIS IS BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS!

3/18/2010 7:01:19 PM

ahaha UTEP dude got dumped going for the garbage time dunk

3/18/2010 7:09:45 PM

my coin flip bracket has UNLV winning it all

3/18/2010 7:16:01 PM

not sure where all the utep hype came from...methinks it was soley that 12 seed

3/18/2010 7:33:14 PM

^^ Go Runnin' Rebels!

3/18/2010 7:48:11 PM

Type to bail on Kentucky, WRAL....the Hoyas are down 7.

3/18/2010 7:53:26 PM

Down 10 now

Almighty Big East is struggling today.

3/18/2010 7:58:29 PM

OHIO-IO-IO-IO!

3/18/2010 8:02:52 PM

i would be lol'ing at Georgetown but my bracket would be done so i'm pulling for them

3/18/2010 8:02:53 PM

I had Georgetown out next round anyway, so it wouldn't hurt me to see them lose.

3/18/2010 8:06:40 PM

3/18/2010 8:09:56 PM

seriously wtf is up with these games today? my bracket is so done if georgetown loses

3/18/2010 8:09:58 PM

Fucking Big East.

3/18/2010 8:10:25 PM

ive got georgetown beating osu and losing to kansas

3/18/2010 8:11:01 PM

obligatory BIG BEAST

3/18/2010 8:12:32 PM

Big East passes the eye test, right guys!!!!!11

3/18/2010 8:12:39 PM

they're playing like shit but they're 1-1 and could be 3-1 in another hour or so...win and move on

i thought nova was done, but they pulled it out

3/18/2010 8:14:03 PM

can we not count marquette? i have difficulty rooting against them. besides, no team in fucking wisconsin should be in the BIG BEAST

3/18/2010 8:17:08 PM

whos not counting marquette

3/18/2010 8:20:31 PM

I think he is counting marquette.

They aren't looking hot right now either, tied with awful washington team that stole an automatic bid from the worst year from any big 6 conference I've ever seen.

not last year.


but I dont understand how people are against 31 more games like this. memphis st johns and ncstate usf were great games to watch.
