Can someone explain what happened in the Cinci/Harvard game

 
Guy wasn't on lineup sheet.

Can someone explain what happened in the Cinci/Harvard game

 
a Cincinnati player wasn't listed in the book the teams turn in.  technical foul

 

[Average Reds]

Hah. I did have Dayton beating tOSU.

 
I very much wanted to make this pick and could not bring myself to.
 
Kudos to you sir.

 

[DJnVa]

That was goaltending.

 

[DukeSox]

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

Colorado had 10 wins in the pac-12 my friend

 

[Infield Infidel]

That was pretty awesome, airball, offensive board, monster block, original shooter catches the block and hits a three at the shot clock buzzer

 

[Greg29fan]

Colorado should be used to being down 46-19; that's about what their football team usually loses by.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Amaker needs to wake up and call TO. Harvard clearly isn't ready for the press.

 

[Stevie1der]

Anybody got a good link where you can follow how many entries are still alive in the Buffet challenge?  My google-fu is weak, keeps only getting results from before the contest closed.

 

[johnmd20]

That was a blatant foul on the dunk there.

 

[Corsi]

shit i forgot how annoying doug gottlieb is

 

[luckysox]

Western Michigan with 5 turnovers, 'cuse with only 8 pts total. Gotta score it.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Damn I love today. Halftime click new game, game over click new game, all day. The best.

 

[tims4wins]

So does Pitt give UF a game on Saturday?

 

[Corsi]

Cannot wait to bail work at 5
 

 

[mabrowndog]

Colorado had 10 wins in the pac-12 my friend

 
Boulder is 819 miles from the ocean. However they do blow, so it looks like you win half a point.

 

[johnmd20]

That Whisky game was a nail biter.

 

[Greg29fan]

So does Pitt give UF a game on Saturday?

 
I absolutely think so.  They seem to be playing with house money since the miracle comeback at Clemson.  Patterson and Zanna both red hot.

The yahoo site says it won't update til Monday, which is kinda lame if so.
 
This site: http://www.takebuffettsbillion.com/ which has 7800+ unique entries should update soon...

the point, my friend, is that they racked up a bunch of wins against shitboxes on the coast

 

[johnmd20]

Jamie Maggio ain't bad.

 

[mabrowndog]

I have Western Michigan over Syracuse in my bracket.
 
uhhhh...

SHUT UP GOTTLIEB

FWIW, ESPN is saying that in their pools, only 19.7% of entries picked Dayton. I would imagine the Buffet challenge is close to that.
 
One game goes final, 80% of entries eliminated.

 

[Luis Taint]

Keep your billion Buffett

 

[johnmd20]

Keep your billion Buffett

 
It was dumb of him to do this. He doesn't need the press and there is no chance of winning. This is something that Trump would do. not Buffett.

 

[BoSoxFink]

Wish I entered the Buffett competition. My bracket is still perfect and everyone winning at the moment I picked. I know it won't last, but it's pretty sweet.

 

[mabrowndog]

SHUT UP GOTTLIEB

 
He really is one of the most annoying voices in sports media. With Bill Conlin dead, Gottlieb might be at the apex of that mountain.

 

[DukeSox]

It's marketing & data gathering for one of his portfolio companies, Quicken I believe. 

 

[Lars The Wanderer]

the point, my friend, is that they racked up a bunch of wins against shitboxes on the coast

 
They were 10-8 in conference games; barely above .500. The Pac-12 was really Arizona and everyone else. I'd award you a full point. =p

After a whole 5 games? That's impressive.
 
I recall someone a few years ago who was adamant he picked a perfect bracket once. That was funny.

Hey leave me alone!  It is probably the furthest I have gone without getting one wrong.  Yea I suppose I suck at this usually

 

[ivanvamp]

Not having much faith in my Orange, I had Ohio State knocking them off in the next round.  
 
Hahaha.
 
Whoops.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

BYU has spazzed their way to a big deficit. Ugly basketball from a team that is supposed to be able to score.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Harvard really needs to pull away here.

 

[ivanvamp]

This Syracuse team is completely different when Cooney is shooting well.  With him shooting well, they're as good a bet to win it all as anyone.  When he's not, they just aren't that great a team.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Harvard's answer to the press is for everyone to run away from the ball. I don't get it. Also, the ticky tack calls are really fucking annoying, especially when clean plays are getting whistled.

 

[canderson]

I picked Cincy but I hope, hope, hope Harvard can hang on.

 

[DJnVa]

You're not supposed to. It's Harvard.

 

[DukeSox]

Oh dear goodness those H cheerleaders.

 

[Bleedred]

I agree Jed. They called the Dayton game crazy close as well. Harvard's press break is "find the point guard and flee." I don't get it either

 

[DJnVa]

Also, why doesn't the NCAA streaming site show the scores of the other games somewhere?

 

[Ed Hillel]

That looked like the LeBron smack the backboard goaltend that never gets called.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I'm in a pool with 891 entries: 726 picked OSU, 538 picked Cincy.

 

[mabrowndog]

Slow start for the Gators. Albany is off to a 9-5 lead over Florida, and they've already played 5:30. 
 
How awesome it would be to see a third of the entrants wiped out of Murf's pool by dinner time.

 

[Rossox]

Wow, that should be Harvard's ball.

 

[Corsi]

someone rip gottlieb's throat out please

 

[CSteinhardt]

Why foul there?  7 second differential, and you can try and trap first, too.

 

[DJnVa]

Ha. I wanted it to be Harvard's ball, but I like Gottleib being wrong.

 

[The Napkin]

Should have taken the layup. The 3 seconds weren't worth maybe missing a FT or 2...
