Too many games. Can't keep up with all the threads. Ugg! No upset in this open thread everyone wins who is seeded high.
Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012
I don't know if they'll win, but I think St. Mary's can put up a fight with Memphis.
as of now im 2 for 2...but im sure almost everyone else is too...but it certainly feels good to be perfect so far
2point3.org is confusing as hell.
My one coin thread i'm 1-1, mine i'm 1-1, and my other coin flip i'm 2-0. So far Maryland Quarter is winning.
"What do you need water for, Sunshine?!" - Coach Coombs, if you don't love this man, you have no soul.
I'm liking Oregon over Oklahoma St. today.
Yep. Don't know how Oregon was given a 12 seed.
Agreed Oregon was very underseeded.
Upset brewing, Marquette can't score.
Man, i sure hope Marquette picks it up. They are about to burn me in my 11W bracket. I was sweating Butler in my work bracket earlier. I don't have Pitt getting past Zaga in any bracket so i'm not worried about that one.
~Christopher S.~ Go Bucks!!
"Aut viam inveniam aut faciam!"
That game is still early. I'd be more concerned after halftime if they're still shooting this poorly.
I didn't even realized we had a new thread. I need to stay current with the open threads.
Can anyone tell me what time our potential game Sunday will be?
****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
Either Notre Dame or Iowa St.
Is Jamie Dixon overrated or is he overrated?
Overrated. Pitt always is. Hell the Big East in general always is.
I think its a wrap for 'ol Pitt.
I'm asking ab the time Unky, tho I appreciate the effort
****igan smells like old water that hot dogs were boiled in. FACT
Jay Bilas talked about how underrated Pitt is...he is slowly becoming a Mark May of college basketball
Pitt fools a lot of people every year it seems. The difference between May and Bilas is that Bilas actually likes OSU. He has them in his Final Four.
Look out! I haven't lost a single game yet. I'm winning the pool!!!
What's that? There's only been two games? But... I'm still winning, right? I'm somebody!!!
Anyone else dealing with every NCAA channel freezing after a few minutes on direct TV?
Its not the weather its sunny here in south Florida.
I'm a friend of thunder is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I'm getting some lags on the internet. Not sure if they're related in anyway, but I've noticed some interruptions here and there. But I also can't complain since I can watch this on my computer (on 2 screens even) at my office.
Damn you Wichita state. Another year, another imperfect bracket.
Why oh why did I buy into the Pittsburgh hype??
you're not alone...every year i think to myself "this is the year they go far" and every year i'm wrong. the sad thing is, the one year i have them lose early will be the year they screw me over and actually go far
The good news is that it should only hurt you for one game... unless you had them beating the Zags.
Could be in trouble in the 11W poll. Already have 2 losses...2-2. But I am 4-0 in another. It's early, but what is more important...$800 for winning a poll or Sullinger's signed bball and bragging rights on 11W? I'm going with the former but the latter is still pretty sweet.
Oregon is my upset pick, but Davidson is doing an excellent job at the half against Marquette. Plus, who doesn't want the Jack Rabbits to pull a monumental upset?
The good news is win or loose, I am watching games at twin peaks drinking a beer and not in the office.
That does sound good.
why do they keep pushing back this gonzaga game
I like football
Likely because the previous game took longer to finish. There's like a 20-30 minute gap from when the previous game ends and when the next game can begin. It looks like it's about to get underway though.
dellavadova = poor man's aaron craft

Which game is that?

Or Australian man's Aaron Craft.
Lets go oregon, gonzaga, Memphis and Marquette!
time to be a hero st marys!

That Memphis-St. Marys game was crazy
Well, there goes my upset. Damn and it was so close too.
Ugh,Dellavadovadavellovalederp. Was rooting for you there.
I have now heard them refer to Memphis as Miami, St. Mary's as St. Louis, and South Dakota State as South Dakota. I realize there are a lot of teams but get your head in the game, guys.
Let's go Davidson!
Wow, Memphis nearly choked that one away. Still perfect so far.
Class of 2010.
Anybody have Southern upsetting Gonzaga?
Negatron... But Southern looks good early
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
Southern making things fun
MSU shouldnt have much trouble with Memphis, especially with how bad they shoot free throws
I say this without a hint of irony, trolling, sarcasm, or anything: if a 16 (Southern) beats a 1 (Gonzaga) this year, I will probably jizz in my pants. Fact of life. Come on, Jaguars.
I totally hold a grudge against teams that wreck my bracket...
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
Who's got Davidson over Marquette besides me?
Not me, but it sounds good! I root for any upset as long as it doesn't hurt the Buckeyes.
i do - do we have it for the same reason? do you have a friend who's a marquette alum and thinks dwyane wade and buzz are god's gift to mankind? and you chose davidson just to spite him?
I like football
Well no, but I picked it from seeing Marquette play several games this year and being less than impressed.
Southern is giving Gonzaga a game in this 1st half. I love it.
The Gonzaga game officially has my interest now.

Since when is Oregon the Fighting Ducks?
Oregon might help me a little, but i'll have to hit some others or Marquette is about to torch my chance at a Sully basketball. Too early in the tourney to say that though perhaps.
~Christopher S.~ Go Bucks!!
"Aut viam inveniam aut faciam!"
why marquette?? WHY?!?!?!
I like football
Marquette is going to win this game.
That's what I'm talking about, Marquette! I got home just in time to watch the end of this game!
That's what I call Madness.
NO!!!!! I had Davidson winning... This would have separated me from the pack... Fate is cruel... Way to lead me on for an entire game and then take it away from me last second.
Marquette played about as clutch a last 90 seconds as you'll see. All those 3s and just one big Davidson mistake was all it took.
Does Buzz Williams ever get called for technicals for wandering onto the court? That's annoying as hell.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
Dang. Marquette had shot 1-12 from 3 point range till the end and hit their last 3.
That long pass that went out of bounds for Davidson was a killer.
Part of me (all) loves it when the under dogs lose. I know everyone loves the whole madness thing but when a team plays a better opponent so hard and falls short...I'm sorry but for my money its just one of my favorite sports feelings.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Southern is a matchup nightmare for the 'Zags. Super athletic, with size to matchup down low. we will see if Southern can make enough shots to pull it off.

Gonzaga looks like garbage.
Not impressed with Gonzaga so far.
"Don't put syrup on shit, and tell me it's pancakes"
No matter how sh*tty the tour is, it's always tough to leave.
Southern gives 0 fu**s right now that its playing a 1 seed.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Hit a damn shot Jaguars!
This Olynyk idiot should be on those hated players lists, no?
Well, last I looked, Gonzaga is pretty close to Southern right now. I want the Zags to go far in my bracket, but man, the upset is so tempting.
Settle down Gonzaga....its a 16 seed your playing in a virtual home game and you have to pump the crowd up?
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
It's a big game lmao Shouldn't they be upset its this close?
Southern has like 9 threes and just 6 from inside the arc.
Gonzaga showing why they're the weakest #1 seed.
Class of 2010.
Gonzaga would be getting housed right now if it wasn't for Olynyk.
Class of 2010.
3 ball!!
Southern won't go away. Within two with five to play.
Once again, Gonzaga struggling in the Big Dance, and it's not even tough competition.
Call your friends.
Am I the only one rooting for southern hard core?
nope
it's always a bad thing when the crowd turns on you gonzaga
One of these times where brackets be damned, we want to see history!
Class of 2010.
Gonzaga dominating the offensive glass. But it doesn't matter right now.
Jesus. This 'zags game is rediculous.
These refs have been spotty. Probably a big ten crew.
Agreed... A lot of calls are questionable
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
Let's go Southern... This possession is huge
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
huge call right there
Southern's entire team is like Costanza, they're a bunch of chuckers. This is great.
I didn't want that 3 to fall :/
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
I really hate Gonzaga right now. They're acting like Cinderella when they're the 1 seed.
That 3 had no business falling.
Class of 2010.
i wish swisherbuck didnt have the banhammer so we could rub this game in his face
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
This is terrible. Why shoot a 3? Olynyk has 4 fouls...
our guards are going to eat gonzaga's alive. but they won't get past wisconsin, if they are fortunate enough to get past wichita in the next round
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Wow what a terrible no call.
Well... That was a foul..
Ball game.
what a crock. go shockers
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
This Gonzaga team is not worthy of a 1 seed.
Darn... It would have been nice to witness history there
Tom Crean listens to Nickelback...
Well, if nothing else, this game reinforces my belief that Gonzaga will probably not make it to a potential rematch with the Buckeyes.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
Damnit. Hate that the refs missed that last foul. Would have been huge cutting it down to a 2-point lead with over 40 sec left and fouling for a chance to make it 3 or less.
"There is a force that makes us all brothers, no one goes his way alone." --Woody Hayes
Ohio State would break Gonzaga over its knee....
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
Outside of Olynyk, who is far better than Williams, no one on Gonzaga's team, Harris and Pangos included, are even close to being on the same level as their counterparts on OSU's squad.
<---- not impressed with Gonzaga. I will be shocked if they make it past the Sweet 16.
"Don't put syrup on shit, and tell me it's pancakes"
No matter how sh*tty the tour is, it's always tough to leave.
St Mary's came very close to upset Memphis.
Davidson had a ton of heart. What a second half!
St Mary's and Pitt ruined my perfect bracket.
Gonz looked horrible.
John Deere U is looking like a good upset pick. However, I felt they were very underseeded anyways.
also, one of gonzaga's "quality wins" just lost to a 12 seed.
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Zing!
In all fairness Oregon should've been much higher than 12 seed.
you're very right. it's still funny though
the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up! - JLS
Still perfect in the bracket! It's rare I even get to the end of the first half of the first day and have that still be the case.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
I remember years ago my Thursday was perfect and my Friday went down in flames.
FUCK YOU CUSE!!!!!!!
God, my bracket is in shambles, so I don't care what happens.
Louisville: Hey, Gonzaga, this is how you beat your first round team.
The Zags barely survive. I'm liking the Buckeyes chances to get to the Final Four!
You know, looking at our bracket, you would be hard pressed to dream up an easier path to the final four for us as a 2 while still keeping things even remotely balanced across the board. Btw Gonzaga is terrible.
