MSU on a run and #34 for UCLA is one hefty SOB.

If only Izzy woulda coached the first 32 minutes...

Cockteased all afternoon, it ended up being the only close game all night

Dude, Day 2 starts in like 12 hours.

by **skatingtripods** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:26 am

Utah St -1.5 2H makes me 5-0-1 ATS for the day. 12/16 on my bracket but only one Sweet 16 team gone. Not a bad day.

by **skatingtripods** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:27 pm

No numbers I absolutely love today. Got Michigan +105, bad value for a 1.5 pt dog. Took Arizona -5.5 and UNLV -2.5. Wanted to get this game at pk when it first came out but my book wanted to see where the sharps drove the numbers. Needless to say, they drilled UNLV.

If Marshall's ovaries weren't aching early on Akron might have a lead at the half against Notre Dame. But Notre Dame better not dick around in the 2nd because a few commuter school kids are gaining in confidence.

by **peeker643** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 4:19 pm

Bruce Pearl should personally apologize to each kid in that locker room. What a disaster that PoS is.

And Spin's back in the MAC thread telling no one in particular that he'd be fine with the Zips losing to a much better team but that they're beating themselves.

AKA 'The Loser's Lament'.

I think it has more to do with ND's big guys not pissing down their leg like Marshall did but maybe it was just a coin flip game and the Zips lost the toss...

;-) ;) :wink:

William Buford is out of his mind.

by **Spin** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 8:34 pm

They handled the #5 team in the country alright, for shooting 36%. You're not going to win many tourney games with that kind of brick laying.

But even with that, they were within 4 at the half, against a top 5 team. By most accounts an Elite 8 team. They played them a lot closer than I thought they would be.

Just needed to sink a couple of those shots at the start of the second half.

Say what you want. I really don't care.

What a shitty Friday of games. Hope it is the inverse of Thursday and the evening is electric.

Thoughts after yesterday:

Agree w/ Peek 'n Pup (Gawd, that sounds pedophile) about yesterday being one of the worst first round days in the past few years...Pretty unexciting...

OSU, Dook & Pitts bracket goin to plan, Kansas' is up for grabs, who woulda thought?

How does the school up north score 75 and doesn't register 1 FT??? Someone???

Pearl lost his job after that debacle...

As far as the local matches, they pretty much all sucked except the Mason/Nova game...OSU went pretty much as expected and it was great to see the pine rise (Nice job Thad :thumb up:

)...It was the NCAA's worst nightmare when the early game went way over on time and they had to move Xav/Marq back 30 minutes, the Cuse game doesn't end until past 12:30 and after 11 hours of sitting in the arena, the powers-that-be should be shot...It was BS for the fans, local restaurants/bars and the Q (without suds) to endure...

Lots of goodies today, starting with UK/WV & the cinderellas Morehead/Richmond

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 3:37 pm

BYU/Gonzaga

Butler/PITT

Morehead/Richmond

Those are goona be the ones I want to see.

Temple/SDSU and FLA/UCLA are stupid matchups that suck.

I had to adjust my TV and look at my calendar when Belmont and Wisconsin played the other night.

Still cannot believe Butler was getting 8 points in this game.

Shelvin Fuckin Mack and Matt Howard ... my God. Howard's game is so easy to like.

Knock these fuckers off Butler.

by **swerb** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 10:21 pm

OMFG ... what an ending to this Butler/Pitt game

by **peeker643** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 10:21 pm

This is surreal.

I cannot believe this final 7 seconds.

And watching the game, especially after bitching about the gutless Big East officials who basically quit reffing, I think both of those calls were legit but neither HAD to be called.

by **waborat** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 10:22 pm

THE craziest, zaniest final 2 seconds I've ever seen...

Unbelievable

by **swerb** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 10:22 pm

I love it ... what a game.

Love this Butler team.

by **waborat** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 10:24 pm

Pitt my lord, they always seem to choke around this time..

Butler coach acting like he just got done watching a documentary on the history of string.

It stays up there year round.

Gotta love the JB anti-hex on the Butler/ODU 1st round game.

Could be another final four for the Bulldogs.

Kid is sick. Fully expecting the scrappy Badgers to find a way to still eek this one out.

by **swerb** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:11 am

What a steal by Jordan Taylor, big time play ... leads to the three ball from Breusiwicz. Huge sequence.

by **dmiles** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:17 am

Taylor has had a nightmare of a game. Wow. 2-16, fouls Pullen on the 3-ball.

Sticking the free throws was big though.

by **waborat** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:17 am

Taylor already having a sub-par game and now he fouls Pullen for 3 :gah:

???

What's w/ these kids tonight

by **waborat** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:17 am

Any bets on who takes the last shot?

Jordan Taylor is a terrific basketball player.

by **swerb** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:19 am

Jordan Taylor, again. 2-16 from the field and the MVP of this one.

Seriously the kid has stones. After just fouling him on the previous 3, blocks the shot anyway.

Really lookin forward to Wiskee/Butler Thursday

Replay for those who missed it.

Announcer was right, kid wasn't shooting but just trying to throw the ball into the air to run out the clock (something that should happen much more often.

by **peeker643** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 12:51 am

Double bonus.

Hell, one and one woulda put him on the line at that point. Act of shooting made no difference.

by **FUDU** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 1:02 am

I'm aware peek, but the initial reaction is to think he was shooting, as a fan/bystander, as a ref I do not believe they can make a judgment and would have to call it in the act of shooting (if no over the limit was in effect), at least I know it used to be that way.

Just went through this recently when I played and ref explained a rule change at our level also claiming we play by college rules, hell if I know I just show up to play and drink afterward.
