Thursday Game Thread

[DJnVa]

Watching through NCAA site doesn't let you change games during commercials. Boo.

 

[DJnVa]

Ugh, Maryland.

Regretted that pick immediately.

Ditto. But if I picked against them they would have gone to the Elite 8. At least that's what I'm telling myself

 

[DJnVa]

I mean, I didn't even hedge and had them in all my money pools. 8-0 start down in flames.

There is a kind of zen involved: when you hear the music you must move quickly to change the channel

What is happening to the Gaels? I blink and it's a 2 pt game

I was about to ask the same thing but it looks like they just got cold

 

[wibi]

SMC uncharacteristically missing a ton of FTs

 

[mandro ramtinez]

Joe Rahon. Why can't BC get guys like that?!?

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Was really hoping Vermont could pull the outright upset, but it's looking like they may not cover the spread either now.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

St Mary's has left 8 points off the board at the FT line in the 2nd half

 

[RedOctober3829]

Too much Swanigan and Edwards for Vermont to handle. Heck of an effort though. Most of that team returns so UVM could make another run.

 

[johnmd20]

St. Marys really sloppy at putting this one away.

Inexperienced at that portion of this game unfortunately

Their FT shooting has been uncomfortable. Not just misses, bricks.

Pressure is getting to them ... But Landale stayed out of foul trouble which was the difference

 

[canderson]

Florida State is a team of giants.

 

[wibi]

Assuming Arizona advances the matchup between Landale and the big from AZ is going to be epic

St. Marys righted the ship, hit about 7 straight now.

 

[mauf]

Is there always this much zone D in the Tournament?

 

[HomeRunBaker]

I hope it does. I took HRB's advice and hit Vermont +9.

We were covering for all but 2 possessions of the entire game......unfortunately one of those two was when the buzzer sounded. Ugh.

Yep, that was a tough loss. Winthrop and Vermont get me by 1. I don't like anything tonight too much but I'll be back tomorrow to get a streak going.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Florida State is a team of giants.

Refs totally missed a karate chop across the face on that Ojo dunk.

 

[shawnrbu]

Ian Eagle:

"The Eagles are soaring right now."

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

8 and 3 ats so far today. Still kicking myself for flopping my bet on Princeton.

Like mostly all dogs again tonight. Dunk City. Nevada. Va Tech. Pretty much all except maybe North Dakota.

Still waiting for the first real upset of the day. I don't really count Middle Tennessee as an upset. Or Xavier.

Middle Tennessee was favored, so it's impossible to call it an upset. Xavier was a small dog, so it wasn't really a cinderella win. Chalk all the way.

 

[canderson]

I watched 2 FGCU games this year and thought they weren't very good, just a gimmick team that used height over competition to physically maul opponents.

I can't tell if they're playing well or if FSU currently sucks.

Whatever it is, it's an entertaining game.

Fun as hell, no doubt.

 

[Infield Infidel]

God that Bacon kosher joke was awful. And I kinda like Ian Eagle

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Nevada fading fast

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Burton is just violent on both ends of the court. That rejection was done with authority.

 

[shawnrbu]

Iowa State won at Kansas. Who does that? With the momentum of winning the Big 12 tournament, maybe this will be the year Iowa State takes that next step into Elite 8 or Final Four territory.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

The rims are not being kind to Florida Gulf Coast

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

For as many entertaining games there were today, no real upsets and only one possible buzzer beater (that missed).

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Nothing like waiting for the last 25 seconds to win the Iowa St. over.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Does this mean better seeds or worse seeds?

They beat teams with better seeds.

Now 11 times (out of 25 wins).

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Hoping for some good games and an upset or two today to make things interesting.

 

[DukeSox]

I went 16-0 yesterday
