Arizona State-Syracuse kicks things off at 12:10

Four games at 2:30:
Cleveland State-Arizona
Pittsburgh-OK St
Dayton-Kansas
Xavier-Wisconsin

Three games at 5:
Marquette-Missouri
USC-Michigan St
Siena-Louisville

[HtownTexan80]

Xavier-Wisconsin i can hardly wait. I'll make sure to have my pillow and blanket ready.

[tbod10]

Let's go USC. It would be nice if I nailed that Sweet 16 pick after getting debaclized yesterday losing Washington in my Elite 8 and Michigan for my Sweet 16. I really thought my Wolverines were going to pull that out.

Quick observations from the 1st 3 days: I saw the Nova vs. American and VCU and UCLA games in person. Greg Carr was unbelievable for American. I'm surprised Villanova has been able to win both these games with Scottie Reynolds giving them absolutely NOTHING so far. He's had a horrible tournament. The play that VCU ran for Maynor was horrible for a last shot.

Loved the Collins vs. Woodside showdown. They both played out of their minds.

[Walter]

Syracuse up 23-15

[Dusty]

Gah this Cuse game is so boring, they need another one on...

[Walter]

Wow Craig Ferguson. Fail.

[tbod10]

Syracuse looking very good early on

[Walter]

Yeah seriously, yet another opening-game dud

[Walter]

Harden on my Choke List

[Walter]

I'm starting to regret taking Oklahoma over Syracuse in my Sweet 16

[Walter]

Light up the cigar. Syracuse up 15

[tbod10]

haha as Lee Corso would say, "Not so fast my friend." Syracuse still up 9, but ASU did a good job at the end of the half. Hopefully this turns into an interesting game.

[tbod10]

20 minute halftimes when nobody else is playing SUCKSSSSS

[IrishX (aka bornbear)]

I'm starting to regret taking Oklahoma over Syracuse in my Sweet 16

It's gonna be a tough game for my 'Cuse but I like the way your thinking Walter. They can match up with anyone so ya never know.

[azchargersfan21]

Well this sucks...

[LovemyBills]

I still think Oklahoma is going to destroy Syracuse

[Walter]

Harden 2/10 from the field. What a bum.

[Walter]

LOL at Boeheim's face when Jackson made the rare FT

[tbod10]

the ASU band was just giving the shocker sign to the cameras

[Walter]

Why did they have 1 game at noon and four at 2:30? Makes no sense

[tbod10]

I have no idea. They did the same thing yesterday kind of. One game at 1, another at 2:30, then the other 6 after 5:45. It's annoying.

[Walter]

Xavier-Wisconsin playing till 12, win by two

[Walter]

Yay Xavier cheerleaders

[IrishX (aka bornbear)]

I still think Oklahoma is going to destroy Syracuse

We'll see.

[bills_red]

anyone else CBS go out?

[Walter]

Mine's good

[Walter]

Ugh, Xavier is not playing its game

[bills_red]

hmmmm.........i have a black screen

[tbod10]

I really hope this isn't the first team to 30 wins this game. That's the way it's shaping up right now.

[Walter]

The 3 is beating the 11 by 11 to 3...

Ugh switch to a different game!!!!

[bills_red]

finally back up

[tbod10]

Pitt struggling early. This could get interesting...

[ryanwest]

Pitt down early.
Xavier down at half.
Dayton keeping it close.
Cle State needs to get back into this game.

[ryanwest]

Anyone take Dayton to the Sweet 16?

I need Pitt, Xavier, Cle State, Dayton, Mizzou, Louisville, Mich State to win today.

Cle State doesn't look very good right now.

[tbod10]

I don't know anybody that did, so I'm hoping they do, haha. Anybody take Arizona to the Sweet 16? Crazy for the second year in a row a #12 is facing a #13 in the 2nd round of the tourney.

[ryanwest]

Marquette Guard Dominic James is playing against Missouri.

[Walter]

Anyone take Dayton to the Sweet 16?


My friend Chris actually had them going

[tbod10]

holy **** that's crazy about James

[tbod10]

Cleveland St. closing the gap to 8...

[Walter]

These teams aren't missing.

[ryanwest]

Xavier is getting frustrated by Wisconsin's defensive pressure. It doesn't help that they put them to sleep on the offensive side too.

When I saw Wisconsin was pegged in this spot, I thought they got placed with good 2 matchups. Wisconsin only struggles when a team can match their defensive intensity or a team pushes the ball on them. Neither Xavier or Florida State can do that.

[Walter]

WTF was that

[Dusty]

Okie State and Pitt is a good game.

[HtownTexan80]

Pitt is definately the weakest of the 4 #1 seeds. I think they go out today or in the elite eight because i dont see snoreconsin or xavier beating them.

[HtownTexan80]

Fields with a great pass. OK State's shots arent falling this half. I think this may be the fattest matchup of PGs of all time with Fields and Eaton.

[Walter]

OK St out of gas... legs aren't there for the threes.

[Walter]

Yeah, I have Xavier beating Pitt in the next round. Would love to see A10 beat Big East

[HtownTexan80]

Arizona has the talent to go all the way but i think their problem of finding consistency will cost them against Louisville.

[Walter]

Nice, Xavier up 10 shooting FTs with 54 seconds left

[Matt McGuire]

Ugh I wanted Wisconsin to win to mess up everyone else's brackets.

[HtownTexan80]

Games always get close again once they switch to another game. Pitt up only 4

[tbod10]

Tournament over for Dayton and Wisconsin. Pitt looked like it was taking control, but they're only up 4 now. I hope CBS switches back to that game. Cleveland St. just can't get the game back to even. Reminds me of the Washington vs. Purdue game yesterday.

[Walter]

Nice job putting up 49 points, Wisconsin

[Walter]

Goooooo Cowboys!!!

[Walter]

OK State just does dumb things. So frustrating.

[tbod10]

I have Pitt in the Final Four, but screw it...LET'S GO OK ST.!

[tbod10]

Arizona going to the Sweet 16...crazy

[HtownTexan80]

Thats why Arizona gets in every year regardless of their record. They always have the talent to beat anybody.

[Walter]

Can't believe I picked stupid Utah to beat Arizona

[Cicero]

Thats why Arizona gets in every year regardless of their record. They always have the talent to beat anybody.

They won't have Abdul Gaddy next year! :cool:

[HtownTexan80]

They won't have Abdul Gaddy next year! :cool:

Lol. Im not familiar with him. Is he a recruit for WVU?

[HtownTexan80]

Aldrich with a beasty day 13 pts 20 reb. 10 blk. No wonder Dayton wasnt flying king kong was swattin em down.

[Walter]

Ugh come on Michigan State

[EL Guapo]

Siena can't get a rebound

[Walter]

I can't believe Marquette came all the way back

[Dusty]

Come on Marquette I have you loosing next round...

[Dusty]

Ugh I wanted Wisconsin to win to mess up everyone else's brackets.

Wouldn't have messed with mine I had them going to sweet 16.

[Walter]

Siena leading Louisville!!!!!!!!

[Walter]

Holy crap

[Walter]

This is insane

[tbod10]

wtf, lousiville doesn't pull this **** in the 2nd half

[EL Guapo]

Lets go Siena

[Walter]

Terrible FT rule. The opposing team should get to choose because a player can fake an injury

[Walter]

OMG Marquette turned it over

[tbod10]

holy **** stepping over the line

[HtownTexan80]

He's the Dan Orlovsky of College Basketball. Know where the line is!

[tbod10]

they should have just called a foul on that missouri guy for being an idiot, why would you contest a 3 point shot with 5 seconds to go??

[Walter]

Hahaha Missouri getting away with a lot of BS

[HtownTexan80]

Yea contesting a half court 3 with 4 seconds left is insane

[Walter]

Well, good first weekend. Still have all my Elite Eights.

[Cicero]

Lol. Im not familiar with him. Is he a recruit for WVU?

He was originally committed to Arizona, but after Olsen left he backed out of his commitment and switched over to UW. (WV is one of my favorite CFB teams, but I go to UW.) He is one of the top 2 pg's in the nation from the class of 09.

[PackersYankees421]

I got 11 teams going, what about you guys?
