Where's Gus Johnson? Is he not doing it until the later rounds? I think he would have been really good yesterday.

The chart is the wrong one.

 

We have Gus.  Hopefully that means no upsets, though.

Another day of the announcer screaming at us, can't wait!  Of course that dunk to make it a 28 point lead will be really exciting I'm sure.

Can Oakland be the next small school team, which Ohio State beat by a large margin, to beat a low seeded school (a la Morehead State over 3 seed L-Ville yesterday)?

Morehead played us tough.  They stayed close for a long time, we didn't pull away until the middle of the 2nd half.  Their upset was not too surprising.

Good point. I was originally going to ask if Oakland would be the second team that Ohio State had crushed to upset a big school, but remembered that we had somewhat of a dogfight with Morehead State.

Still, Morehead's a 13 seed, while Oakland's a 12. Anyone who watched OSU play those two games knew better, and we must give credit to Texas, but Louisville still deserves to be mercillessly razzed for the next 9 months.

Btw, before I really pile on the BE just yet, isn't it about time to start an "SEC" chant?

Morehead is good, they should've been in the tournament last year, but the selection committee only thought the OVC should have 1 team, that team was a 30+ win Murray State.  I thought they'd give Louisville a game, but was surprised Louisville didn't pull it out. With a talent like Farid(spelling?) a team could make a nice run.  They should be able to put it to Richmond.

Michigan missed on a dunk.  I never miss a chance to laugh at them.

Hail.

Next question:  Duke or Hampton?

Great game by Michigan today. In the 1H, they played well against the Vols. In the 2H, they played well against chicken-hearted paper mache. Beat Duke!

Thanks for showing up Tennessee.....you could actually get volunteers to play with more heart... (see how I did that?)

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.....

Yeah, I think that the Volunteers left with about 3:00 to go in the first half, and the Conscripts played the rest of the way.

Who are all of you rooting for today - George Mason or 'Nova?  Not sure who the Buckeyes match up better against.

Run_Fido_Run on 18 Mar 2011 - 2:19pm #

I'll root for G Mason to win an ugly, drag 'em out game that goes into 5 OTs.

No way to sugarcoat it: the 2011 Tenn Volunteers are soft-hearted. They obviously gave up in the 2H. I know the Pearl situation was a distraction, they're college kids, etc., but they still have to pretend to play hard.

Yeah, too bad for the other teams who did not get into the tourney.  Im sure one of the other teams would have at least tried hard.

It must be hard doing a game next to Gus Johnson.  Slowly going deaf in one ear...

I emplore (sp?) Thad to swap Lauderdale and Craft's minutes! I love Craft, but he is just becoming a liability in many areas. We can't have that against real threats. Lauderdale is a big body that is a beast on the defensive end of the court and has an underrated offensive game.
