Fuck this start time in the middle of the day again this year. This ensures my boss won't give me the half day on Friday yet again.

3/17/2013 11:15:54 PM

Dont be a pussy. You don't ask for a half day, you take it.

3/17/2013 11:17:14 PM

The run starts here.

3/17/2013 11:17:15 PM

3/17/2013 11:19:39 PM

Win

3/17/2013 11:20:55 PM

Dominate and advance

3/17/2013 11:21:48 PM

For some reason this morning I had a weird feeling that my two alma maters would be paired up to play this tournament. I want State to win, but I hope Temple plays well also.

call me crazy, but if we can get past Indiana, I think we can make the Final Four.

we match up very well against Syracuse and then we'd either get a Miami rematch or a very beatable Butler team in the regional final

why am I doing this to myself??

3/17/2013 11:58:37 PM

we? az state is in the nit man

3/18/2013 12:01:25 AM

2007 called...

3/18/2013 12:03:32 AM

Tell Scott Wood they can wear Old Spice Champion jerseys.

3/18/2013 12:07:21 AM

Indiana will make history and be the first #1 seed knocked off in the first round. We will beat Temple but then and lose to James Madison in the second round.

3/18/2013 12:10:42 AM

JUST WIN BABY

Beat the Hooters

GO STATE

3/18/2013 6:31:46 AM

^^LOL

3/18/2013 7:33:49 AM

THEY GOTTA GUARD US TOO, PAL

3/18/2013 8:04:36 AM

I normally put us one round further than I think we will actually lose in the bracket, but I can't really justify it this year. I do think we will beat temple but no way can I write us down beating Indiana.

Why not extend this all the way out...

James Madison will then go on to win every contest by one or two points, then get a last second dunk to beat Louisville in the final, from then on James Madison becomes the first team everyone thinks of when they talk about cinderellas.

I just cant get excited about the tournament this year. May not watch much of it.

I didnt watch a single game of the acc tournament just too depressing.

I did catch a few plays here and there in the background on bar televisions but thats it

We just suck too bad at sports for me to invest anymore time or interest. I think they finally killed me off as a fan. This season was just brutal

damn, another day game. at least its on friday and not thursday, easier to take off early.

3/18/2013 9:47:38 AM

Good time to stop posting.

Then clearly you never were a fan.

3/18/2013 9:52:39 AM

why bother watching any sports when kenpom has already accurately predicted the outcome?

3/18/2013 9:53:23 AM

From everything I've seen, Temple goes as Khalif Wyatt goes. He's a 6'4 combo guard with DEEP range. Leads the A10 in scoring.

The thing that makes me feel good about the Temple game is the defense we played against Green and Harris in the ACC tourney. We basically knew they were the only guys who could beat us and shut them down.

I'm guessing Zo will be on Wyatt most of the game. He really seems to take offense to people saying he can't play defense, so I think he comes to play.

shut up and do it troll. i don't know where the stat is now, but several games back we had more wins in two consecutive seasons since the mid-70s (anyone know where that stands now)? die as a fan, and stop posting in ST trying to get a rise from fans like me.

3/18/2013 11:00:20 AM

I think our fatigue showed on the 3rd straight day against Miami when the Canes had only played one game in the tourney thus far...I fully expect us to win this game with fresher legs...then we'll really really have to bring our A game to try and knock off the Hoosiers

3/18/2013 11:01:16 AM

^Haha, did you see all of those shots of Big Rich yawning during deadballs?

3/18/2013 11:03:32 AM

to be fair, they said rich was getting treatment until 1AM and then woke up at 7AM to continue it

3/18/2013 11:05:32 AM

Its just been a miserable ride as a state fan with this year really a culmination of it all.

Perhaps if we beat Indiana it'll salvage the season but lets face it. In all likelihood we are going to get butt raped

3/18/2013 11:08:15 AM

are you sure you're not just a color blind unc fan? fuck you and your attitude.

3/18/2013 11:13:26 AM

Don't look past Temple.

DON'T LOOK PAST TEMPLE!

DON'T LOOK PAST TEMPLE!
