LOLSU

Aaron Craft ladies and gentleman.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

What a dumb foul by Craft

 

[DJnVa]

Well, I know I have Dayton in some of my brackets, just not the money ones...

 

[Dave Stapleton]

I was listening to the radio this morning and it was mentioned that Ohio St. never plays teams from the state of Ohio which makes this game particularly interesting.

Is this true?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Well that was a quick end to at least one pool.

 

[DJnVa]

Wait--I have Dayton in my second set of $$$ picks.
 
EDIT: Not that you care.

They played Ohio U this year. 
 
Try listening to radio hosts who actually take about 20 seconds to fact check their idiocy.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Buffaloes still stuck in mud pit quicksand, 9-33.
 
 
Let's go Crimson.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Not over yet.  Oliver misses two FT

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Wisconsin getting a battle from American U with 5:00 left in the half. A Badgers three just got them to within 19-18, but the Eagles have led since the early minutes of the game.
 
EDIT - The Badgers close the half on a 22-5 run, scoring the final 9 points to take a 32-22 lead into the break. 

 
When I turned on the game, it was 20-20 with 2:30 remaining in the 1st.  Since then?  31-5 wisconsin.  A bigger facecrush than the Pitt-Colorado game.  Good lord almighty.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

OSu-Dayton tied, Buckeye Ball

 

[Cellar-Door]

Oh Dayton. Bad foul bad shot get the board and miss both FTs.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Craft may yet scrap his team to the W.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Wasn't the host.  It was the Globe's Joe Sullivan who covers college basketball (on T&R).  I suppose he was using hyperbole and the correct term should have been "rarely" but I will do better next time to only listen to commentators who I am sure know what they are talking about.

The Hardwood Punto

 

[Ed Hillel]

Well, this became an interesting game.

That smack was directed at the radio voices, not you.
 
Anyway, to further the point in 2011-12 they played Wright State and Miami-OH. They also played Miami in 2010-11. 
 
Joe Sullivan still signs paychecks for Dan Shaughnessy. He's a fucking idiot.

 

[DJnVa]

And on the NCAA page, the game feed is delayed BEHIND the updates in the lower corner of page.
 
SIGH.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Money!

 
3 lasers right into the hoop.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Oh I know ...  I should know that these guys would never lets the facts get in the way of a good story.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That was a legit drive though.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Holy shit.

 

[DJnVa]

And on the NCAA page, the game feed is delayed BEHIND the updates in the lower corner of page.
 
SIGH.

 

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Wow ...

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a fucking finish!

 

[mabrowndog]

Flyers, bitches. A-10 Reprezent!

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Buh Bye Buckeyes
 
 
Craft trying to do it all and almost coming up snake eyes

 

[Bleedred]

Tremendous drive by craft, but is there any reason why defense is playing in his shorts outside the 3 point arc?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Good opener. Nice win for the A10. Craft is now the scrappiest ex-player ever.

 

[MentalDisabldLst]

Vee Sanford, eh?

 

[ForceAtHome]

Woo, Dayton! Better get that check book out, Warren.

 

[Average Reds]

Missed that one on my bracket and yet I am happy.

 

[DJnVa]

Screw you NCAA site for show the FINAL on the screen before your feed showed it "live".

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Buddy in my office pool just lost his national champion.  That's a shame.

 

[mabrowndog]

Pitt & Wisconsin still engorging themselves on the overmatched opposition. Badgers up 60-27, Panthers up 40-16.
 
Fine by me. They're both my picks, and I wanted to focus on the Harvard game anyway.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Missed that one on my bracket and yet I am happy.

They must have hired the NBS Olympic twitterers

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

That didn't take long.

 

[mabrowndog]

Buddy in my office pool just lost his national champion.  That's a shame.

 
I love reading this like this. Done before the tournament's even 2 hours old.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Hah. I did have Dayton beating tOSU.

 

[canderson]

Buddy in my office pool just lost his national champion.  That's a shame.

Why the hell would anyone have Ohio State advancing past the 3rd round, hell really even the 2nd, is beyond my comprehension.

 

[bsj]

Screw you NCAA site for show the FINAL on the screen before your feed showed it "live".

 
Not sure if you caught it but they had "FINAL" up there and the score OSU 59- Dayton 58. I almost send my OSU friend a congratulatory "you survived" type note and then the guy scored on video and the FINAL changed to the actual FINAL

yeah, WTF.  They were coming out of the timeout and all of a sudden the big graphic above the screen went to 60-59 10 s, 60-49 4s, Final, all before the play even started.  Get your shit together, NCAA.

 

[DukeSox]

Pitt & Wisconsin still engorging themselves on the overmatched opposition. Badgers up 60-27, Panthers up 40-16.
 
Fine by me. They're both my picks, and I wanted to focus on the Harvard game anyway.

West coast hoops blows

 

[mabrowndog]

Harvard up 12-6 on Cinci with 11:00 left. Chambers just buried a three. They're playing amazing defense against a larger and more physical opponent.

 

[mabrowndog]

West coast hoops blows

 
Remind me again which team(s) among Colorado, American, Wisconsin and Pittsburgh are "west coast" schools?

 

[DJnVa]

 
Not sure if you caught it but they had "FINAL" up there and the score OSU 59- Dayton 58. I almost send my OSU friend a congratulatory "you survived" type note and then the guy scored on video and the FINAL changed to the actual FINAL

My screen changed from that to a Dayton win, all before the TO ended.
 
The LIVE UPDATES down in lower right, had the PBP through end of game while still in TO.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Why the hell would anyone have Ohio State advancing past the 3rd round, hell really even the 2nd, is beyond my comprehension.

 
Alma mater pick. He is ready to jump off the roof.  We are doing are best to convince him that is the best option.

 

[hunter05]

Can someone explain what happened in the Cinci/Harvard game

 

[DJnVa]

Harvard up 12-6 on Cinci with 11:00 left. Chambers just buried a three. They're playing amazing defense against a larger and more physical opponent.

 
So, I filled out 2 brackets, with the second one picking a lot more upsets including Dayton and Harvard. Looks like that bracket just got moved up to varsity.
