Re: March Madness: The Thread

I'm so glad all of my brackets are being done for pride instead of money.

Jerry Smith dribbles the ball off himself. Louisville is currently giving FSU a run for dumbest basketball team I've watched the last two days.

 

Oh, well. I guess I could be doing worse than 3 Sweet 16 teams done after round 1.

CBS's worst decision of the tournament so far: wasting Gus Johnson on the Syracuse/WVU pod. Was there a pod with less intrigue? Quick, send him to San Jose or Spokane for the rest of the weekend.

In their defense, WVU/Mizzou could be a really awesome game on Sunday. And there's still the regional semis and final for wherever he goes (my guess is out west).

Despite the awesomeness of Day 1, Day 2 has been fairly disappointing.

DICK BAVETTA'S NOT WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR! TIM DONAGHY'S NOT WALKING THROUGH THAT DOOR!

[Andy]

Well, intentional foul followed by a T should do it. Fitting end for those morons to go out. Wish I'd seen more of them during the regular season, because I probably would've rethought this pick.

Jesus. Foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul

I'm 4-4 in picks involving Big East teams - also, 0-2 in games involving Pac-10 teams - and 21-2 in all other games and Maryland looking good to make it 22-2.

LOL who is that huge Chinese dude?

[CubbieBum]

Assuming the double-digit leads hold I will finish up OK for the first round. Yesterday I only got 10 of 16 and lost 3 Sweet Sixteen teams. Today I went 13/16 and lost no Sweet Sixteen teams.

[Roast]

If Maryland holds on I'll be 11-5 again today, the same as yesterday. The east bracket really killed me, I only got 3 right. Missed 2 in the South and Midwest (assuming maryland) and one in the West. Not too bad.

[Andy]

23-9, 3 Sweet 16 teams gone. Meh.

Idk but I think he's my new favorite player.

Assuming Maryland holds on, what's everyone's most anticipated game of Round 2?

West Virginia/Missouri, BYU/Kansas State, Cornell/Wisconsin

I've got St. Mary's over Nova. If that happens - then I'm looking REALLY good in my main bracket.

Texas A&M game is gonna be huge too because I've got them upsetting Duke in round 3.

CBS strongly disagrees with Bill Simmons on the value of a Gus Johnson call of a game.

I'll be rooting for St. Mary because I picked Richmond to upset Nova.

[Andy]

Xavier/Pitt could be fun too, though I feel like it has a much bigger chance of stinking.

It will be tough, but I expect to beat Purdue on Sunday. Then we go to our backyard in Houston for the Sweet Sixteen.

[Outshined_One]

MSU/Maryland could be a really solid game to watch. Maryland might kill them...which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

[Terp]

24-8 (13-3 today) with an Elite Eight team gone (Georgetown). I'll take it.

 

Also, I can't help but imagine how much better the Murray State buzzer beater would have been if Gus Johnson was there. The announcer who called it sucked.

[radarluv1]

i'm third in a pool of 150 people. 3rd from last place.
