I figure this forum doesn't get enough traffic, so one thread for all the games should suffice.

My elite 8 team, ND, struggling in the 2nd half and "Gody" isn't doing shit.

Robert Morris handling another overrated Big Least team.

i haven't believed in Nova all year for some reason i can't quite explain, but there's still time left in this one. UF rallying some against BYU.

Nova only down two with tons of time left. They should be fine.

Never thought I'd say this but...go Gates!

Sucks to be in the office right now.

Fuck Notre Dame. GodDAMMIT, why did I pick those assclowns?

Second.

Fuck. I picked Harangody 4th in our NCAA player draft. Fucking neandrethal.

I just lost an elite 8 team from the first completed game of the tourney. Holy fuck, that's a first.

at least on the net stream, the Ivan bros are this year's Applebee's/Gilligan's Island commercial. something you will see thousands of times over the next two weekends.

Mike Brey, in full effect.

There was an ad like that a few years ago, I think from All State Insurance. I got so pissed I wrote them a letter about it. I hope it's hanging in somebody's cubicle somewhere.

Second.

Third...had those bastages in the Elite 8.

Thank You ODU for my first upset of the tourny in the pick 'em...

This Robert Morris performance has been phenomenal.

Til the refs took over. Shit, that's 8 free throws in a row for Nova

Seriously, I am not watching the games. Just seeing the play by play online. Is Robert Morris seriously fouling on every trip down the court? Nova going for 10 free throws in a row now on 5 posessions.

Gotta love these early games...a great start to this year's tourney.

Three GREAT games so far. Very pleased with my decision to take the next two days off so far.

Robert Morris looking like "we're just happy to be here" in OT.

Not so fast...

i mos def spoke too soon. Nova trained to brainfart it away with that kid not taking the easy hoop and not at all handling the RM pressure well.

My friend?

So far so good on my bracket here. 3 for 3.

As am I and it's looking pretty damn good on the next three so far. Come on Murray State!

My boss in Philly said the refs absolutely stole the game for Villanova in OT. Pathetic.

They did... Nova got to shoot free throws on about 7 of 10 trips down the court in the last five minutes at one point. Completely screwed up a jump ball call. Robert Morris' coach looked like was going to go Hessian and attack the zebras... one of the highlights of the tourny so far.

camera vantage point at HP Pavillion is vertigo inducing.

Fucking horrible. I don't remember them shooting it from there last time.

Yep.

I nailed it earlier in my response to Screw. Brey can produce impressive results in the short term. Problem is that he can't sustain them, and he routinely comes up short in big games. On the bright side, at least we only lost by 1, rather than the usual 20+ point beatdown Brey's teams usually suffer in the NCAA tourney.

My Big East is really sucking hind tit so far. ND out already, and Villanova survives, but gets all they could handle from a 15 seed (which just as easily could've been a 16 seed). On the bright side for Villanova, they're still alive, and tournament history is dotted with teams that survived a real scare early on but then went on to impressive tourney runs.

At least all the early games were entertaining.

They had a tough game last year against American, although it wasn't as close as this year's RM game.

great execution to get to the line with 12 secs left. great X and O call out of a TO.

but still lose on a last second shot. Roll Vandy.

Rack Murray STate!

Wooooooo 4-0. Thank You Murray State!

4 for 4 here. This happens every year. I nail the first day of the tournament and by Sunday afternoon I'll be out of my pool.

i don't know how many Big XII games you see, but Gallagher-Iba in Stillwater is about this bad. though, not as bad (hard to believe) as it used to be.

I know what you are saying.

Baylor has a million dunks in this game.

Richmond is getting worked. Glad I had them in the Sweet 16.

Called this game as well. I'll be 7-0 here in the next few minutes. My brackets are looking god. Everyone in my office has at least two losses so far other than myself. I'd like to bring home the bag of cash this year.

I lost an Elite 8 already so I can really run too much smack. I went buck wild and put Butler in the Final Four and they trail UTEP early.
