hahaah this needs its own thread

aha too rich kent st.

3/20/2008 2:26:41 PM

goddamnit Kent St. get your act together!!

3/20/2008 2:37:35 PM

damn. only 10 points at half. there goes that pick.

3/20/2008 2:39:59 PM

yay UNLV

and has Jay Bilas done NCAA games for CBS in the past? it's really nice to hear him but this guy he's with sounds like a noob

but WTF Baylor

Yeah Bilas has worked for CBS every year except 2004 when CBS and ESPN couldnt come to an agreement

I think Rafftery has similar deal

3/20/2008 2:51:43 PM

I love Bilas's eloquence, but on ESPN he likes to take a flawed opinion about an off topic subject, and rant about it every game. So far so good though, maybe CBS told him to chill

3/20/2008 2:53:37 PM

bravo kent st., you matched your 1st half output in the first 4 minutes of the 2nd

and have an increased deficit to show for it

3/20/2008 3:03:32 PM

anyone care to comemnt on the kentucky/marquette game?

can't watch anything at work, so I'd like to know if that upset has a chance with 12:00 remaining.

3/20/2008 3:04:01 PM

crawford is a one man team out there for kentucky but they had kept it close until a recent marquette run...48-43 marq

3/20/2008 3:05:24 PM

marquette really wants kentucky to win this

3/20/2008 3:20:46 PM

Gillispie has those mean looking beady eyes just like bobby knight

3/20/2008 3:21:10 PM

fuck Oral Roberts too.

3/20/2008 3:29:57 PM

crawford FTW!

3/20/2008 3:36:23 PM

Just go down Kentucky! Just go down!!

3/20/2008 3:36:58 PM

mdalston

63 - 66 marquette with the ball and 38 seconds left.

3/20/2008 3:37:57 PM

68-66, 22 seconds (marquette up at the foul line)

[Edited on March 20, 2008 at 3:40 PM. Reason : .]

kentucky turns the ball over. marquett with the ball, 10 seconds and marquette 70-66 (they're on the foul line now)

[Edited on March 20, 2008 at 3:41 PM. Reason : .]

3/20/2008 3:39:28 PM

UK turnover, Marquette by 4 10 secs

3/20/2008 3:41:38 PM

Exhibit 1 why Clemson will not be any more than a Sweet 16 team at best... FTs.

Marquette won this game on the line down the stretch.

3/20/2008 3:42:04 PM

Marquette 72-UK 66 with 3 secs left, marquette to the free throw line, it's over

3/20/2008 3:42:26 PM

^^thats one of the reasons memphis wont make the final four

[Edited on March 20, 2008 at 3:42 PM. Reason : free throws]

3/20/2008 3:42:38 PM

game over, marquette

Surprised to hear that from a UCONN fan. They had the exact same FT% as Clemson when they won it all.

lol, they also blew everyone the fuck out every game of that tourney except for Duke... I don't think Clemson is quite on that level. 5 of the 6 games were over literally 10 minutes in.

[Edited on March 20, 2008 at 3:47 PM. Reason : x]

3/20/2008 3:47:18 PM

anybody else have a poster sized bracket for their office pool? i plotted off a blank bracket to fill in the actual picks, like they'd do at a bar or whatever

i like filling it in cause i know all the picks are correct! (since the games are already over)

is the ncaa logo gonna be on the court at the rbc center? my guess is no b/c the block s is bigger than the other logos they are covering and iirc last year at wake they had wake's logo on the court b/c its pretty big too

3/20/2008 3:56:15 PM

^Believe it or not, they actually found an NCAA logo big enough to cover it. Looks like a practice is going on with a pretty good turnout.

Let's hope they never hold NCAA tournament games at Texas and Texas A&M. Their mid-court logos are huge. It's almost comical how big they are. Especially TAMU's. Their outline of the state nearly stretches from one top of of the key to the other.

Texas A&M's Reed Arena


Texas' Frank Erwin Special Events Center

Uh, why is Scheyer shooting FTs on a charge?

Did I fall asleep or something for a second and miss another foul?

[Edited on March 20, 2008 at 6:41 PM. Reason : oh that was Biff that took the charge... never mind.]

3/20/2008 6:41:34 PM

Haha! Zoubek blocked!

3/20/2008 6:42:38 PM

what's the deal with the blue carpet on the floor around the court at all the sites? it's also been at some of the conference tournaments. i know it's not a new thing b/c they've been doing this for a couple of years now, but i've always wondered why they have it.

3/20/2008 6:49:28 PM

does the corner say

TX AM 11
BYU 0
14:00?

ok yea, byu just got 2

duke playing terrible

what kind of defense was that

3/20/2008 7:02:57 PM

well, whoever just showed that duke cheerleader up close should not have a cameraman job tomorrow

3/20/2008 7:27:51 PM

Paulus is getting ABUSED by unathletic, slow white boys... it's a good thing he really improved as a shooter, b/c otherwise he'd be completely worthless. He's still better than Monta Ellis though, of course (<3 Scout.com ratings)

V he's terrible.. i'm watching it on my grad school campus before a final and he sounds like he's about to blow out my headphones every time Belmont makes a shot...

3/20/2008 7:35:47 PM

the tournament is not what it used to be. Pod system ruined it with a little help from the nba rule.

3/20/2008 7:39:25 PM

i can't tell what is pissing me off more...duke's horrible play or this god-awful announcer. i'm VERY close to muting this game.
