American is playing really well with Villanova.

 

Yes I just noticed that and plus American has a Curry on their team so I think that is the game I need to switch to now. \:D/

meh in most pools the 8-9 results mean nothing. i suppose if you were really pining for the 10 grand from yahoo then it hurts, but if you're in an office pool with 20 people, the big thing is keeping your final four and champion, not losing an 8-9 game.

 

i didn't know that isaiah thomas played for u-dubs... i feel better about picking them to go to the elite eight now.

i get what your saying, but in the (Points= seed x round) format, there the most important games until the weekend.

 

I guess it's gimmicky and different but that seems like a stupid way to run a pool. Much like the fools who just go 1-2-3-4-5-6 so you get no credit for picking the champ. I never liked the doubling format either.

i havent done the math, but it seems if you pick 4 low seeds, say 5-7, to get to the FF and one of them does, that may be enough to get you paid. run-on sentence

I just love that you can't switch games on the ncaa.com live feeds during commercials, lol. I guess that is the trade off for it being free though. Fair enough I suppose.

 

You have enough time to pull up the other games and pick one while the announcers throw it to a TV timeout. Problem right now is that there's been multiple games on TV timeout so I see ads regardless.

NEED MOAR BIG UPSETS PLZ K THX

 

yeah the guy on the michigan-clemson game is saying that we still haven't had the bracket-busting upset yet. there have been 9 games so far and only 3 of them are realistic upset options (two 4-13 games and a 5-12).

Manny Harris is awesome. Please stay around for at least 1 more year.

[Exile on Waveland]

I wanna have sex with the quality of this online feed.

 

It's so much better than past years.

 

 

 

This game encapsulates why I didn't trust either Michigan or Clemson enough to beat Oklahoma. Wow, these teams look terrible.

[Sosa21MVP]

Nevermind about the Curry thing, I got American and Liberty mixed up. lol

[SouthSideRyan]

Minnesota has gotten every roll on the rim so far.

if clemson wins, they'll give OU a run

[SouthSideRyan]

Pittman just committed at least 2 offensive fouls, traveled at least twice, and may have stepped out of bounds on one possession.

did he give anyone a concussion yet

[SouthSideRyan]

Nice correction by the color guy and Tim Brando, the buffoon. still doesn't get it.

 

Hansborough passed Redick for all time ACC lead and he tells the color guy he's moving down the list.

 

No, actually I'm not moving down, he passed me awhile ago, JJ is moving down.

 

Brando responds: Yeah, but now they can't fit you on the leaderboard.

 

YOU [expletive] MORON

This Michigan/Clemson game is awful.

[Sammys Boombox]

I just got about a 20 second look-in on Clemson/Michigan. I saw an air ball and a horrible charge. Sloppy, sloppy.

[UMFan83]

7 airballs for UM

How would you do it then, out of curiosity?

[TruffleShuffle]

if clemson could make a jump shot they'd be up 20

And yet they're somehow still winning.

No...the score is 27-24 almost at halftime because of amazing spectacular defense :)

[SouthSideRyan]

if clemson could make a jump shot they'd be up 20

 

If Michigan could grab a defensive board they'd be up by 20.

 

7-10 games are without fail the ugliest games every year.

[Terp]

This is awesome, American up by 4. They've hit 7 or 8 threes and the last one was a few feet behind the NBA line.

[Careless]

Well done, bald guy on Clemson

[Sammys Boombox]

I have Villanova losing next round, so I would love to see American win.

[SouthSideRyan]

Haha, is he wearing a horizontal stripe suit??

they did that against holy cross, it was ridiculous. they went from "should've lost to army" to "shooting like ray allen or reggie miller"
