Your March Madness Friday Open Thread II

READY TO DO IT AGAIN?

Hopefully you took some time to grab a bite to eat at your desk/couch/bed with four flat screens affixed to your ceiling because the second group of games should be good (well, aside from the IU/JMU affair).

Little brother of the hardcourt tips with No. 7 Creighton in a game we'll probably end up pulling for the Bearcats in – state solidarity and all. Kansas State-La Salle is up next and then the aforementioned Indiana game, which should feature a half dozen Victor Oladipo dunks, even if he knows nothing of US history. Finally, Illinois tips against Colorado in what should be an excellent game.

Alright, to keep sane, I will need KSU, Indiana, Creighton, and Illinois to not get upset!

I don't know if it has been mentioned on here yet but if you're using the march madness live stream without cable and your 4 hour limit runs out, just use incognito chrome to get around it

Ignore this if that has already been posted here a million times

That is helpful. For some reason mine started working again. I'm watching the Cincy v Creighton game right now, but I don't want to switch for fear of losing it.

Cincy v Creighton is on CBS which is why it works. The time out stuff is for the other games on True TV and TBS in such.

A guy in one of my brackets had Wisconsin playing New Mexico in the Elite 8 with New Mexico eventually winning it all.  My brackets haven't had a great day but that one takes the cake.

The lady in first in my money bracket had the same elite 8 matchup with Wisconsin moving onto the Final Four. It's safe to say that she won't be in first for much longer as she ends up losing a lot of point.
