well they switched over from dayton to Pitt which is good because that game was just aweful.

Can I get a ruling on the fat people having sex scale for KU/Dayton?

How the hell did West Virginia lose to these bums?

I was going to post the same thing. I don't understand it.

The Dayton players should be forced to visit the Dayton Swim Club after this performance.

 

And can Cleveland State please hit a 3-pointer? They're 1-17 today.

[CubInOK]

I think no one in Cleveland State's band is under 40.

Is it just me, or have there been very few exciting games so far this year. I'm barely even watching today

There's a good one in Dayton right now.

[cubswin2009]

[expletive] Pittsburgh. I have them winning it all.

It would be rather humorous if Arizona ends up being the only Pac 10 team to advance to the Sweet 16. The team nobody wanted in the tournament....and for good reason. But at least they are making the most of the opportunity.

Me too. I don't care though, I'd rather see big upsets. It isn't like I am ever going to win a bracket contest. :-))

[cubswin2009]

Sam Young!

[Cynosure]

Even if Pitt wins these games shouldn't be as close as they have been.

 

I have them winning it all too.

I think the problem is people always remember the couple great, close games each year and think every year is like that. But in reality with 48 games in four days, you're going to get a ton of bad games, with a good chance that there are going to be a couple complete blocks of games that don't have a close one.

 

EDIT: For example, if I mention last year's Elite Eight games, what comes to mind first? Is it the great Kansas-Davidson game that came down to the wire, or the other three games that were decided by 10, 18 and 19 points?

Friday night it seemed like every game went down to the wire, or OT.

Every year is like that. Friday and Saturday night had some really good games.

 

I have Louisville, Michigan State, and Marquette in this next block of games.

And yet only two of the four games did - Michigan State and Cleveland State both won by 15 in games that they controlled the entire way.

[Prior4CyYoung]

I expect the Marquette / Mizz game to be interesting.

[Prior4CyYoung]

Curious to see how Dominick James plays.

But the two I saw did. I was just illustrating how which games you get color your perception of the whole thing.

I could go either way in terms of helping my bracket with the USC-Mich St game, so I'm just hoping for an epic. Give Gus something good to work with.

My pools rest on MSU/Pitt in the title game, so an easy Spartans win would be just fine for me.

3 minutes into the game James is in.
